The children will be encouraged to use reading journals to record their thoughts, predictions, questions and notes. To widen their experience they will be given opportunities to read extracts aloud and to watch excerpts from television or film adaptations. They will explore the relationships between characters and the language and techniques used to present these relationships and develop the plot. The children will work in pairs or groups, as well as a whole class and will discuss the techniques they use to help them understand the text, such as prediction, empathy and visualisation, using a story mountain. Finally, they will be supported in writing in the style of the author to rewrite a chapter or write a new one. These lessons use Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) as the focus text. It will be helpful to have begun reading it as a class before starting this unit and to have finished it before the third lesson. This will enable children to delve more deeply into the plot, characterisation, language and structure.

Topic 1 and 2 available on TES or on our website.
The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher of Year 6 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes.
Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson. This in turn, will provide you with the information required to assess the pupils’ learning, and will enable you to plan your lessons effectively.
With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 6 objectives and all seven core strands. This easy-to-use CD will reduce the time spent preparing and marking homework enabling you use your time as efficiently as possible.

• Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating
• Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape
• Block C: Handling data and measures
• Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape
• Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating

Grammar and Creativity for Year 5
Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination.
Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules.
The guide is organised in an incremental way, later tasks being built on earlier ones. Step by step, each exercise calls upon skills and terminology already explored. In this way, both the child and their teacher will develop a sense of the progress being made. At any particular age, of course, children will be working at different levels and may need either more fundamental or more challenging work set for them
The guide has three main sections: word, sentence (including punctuation) and text. Each section has an introductory page which can be enlarged to create an explanatory poster for display purposes. At the end, there is a glossary explaining the terminology used in the book, as well as an answer section.
