A 4 day unit of work, written for Year 6 as part of a wider topic on the sinking of the Titanic. The unit starts, as we meet a passenger who somehow mysteriously disappeared during the voyage. The children then went on to write the account of the mysterious Mary Butts.

Really successful way of reinforcing grammar concepts in idle or spare classroom moments. Cut up and laminate - so they last forever!

A really successful table-top tool to enable chdn to choose more precise words. Laminate and cut out the wheels, then bundle them together with treasury tags (punch a hole in the stem of each wheel) Versions are included for common words and colours.

3 Posters that I created to explain the 9 types of tense that are taught at ks2 in the new curriculum. There are also practical examples of each type of tense. Perfect for the working wall or in the front of English books. Simple and easy to follow.
