A short English homework (or starter!) to improve sentence construction and language work, ideal for adding word classes and being creative in your writing ! Quick, punchy, and immediate engagement - ideal for all children in KS2 and some in Year 2 also ! Enjoy !

Another Iron Man resource with this time a modelled piece for the children by me and attached resources in the Powerpoint I wrote this with little pictures of the Iron Man at the top of the kids books - choice of colours to add which level of work they wish to complete also - this is I believe a typical 80-20 lesson with the kids doing the 80 !!

An Iron man opener resource with written example for the class to read also ! They found this very useful for a lead in ! Plenary attached also to evaluate their own work - do find it of some use !

Grandma warning poem to revise word classes and a fun way to build upon earlier learning with accompanying activity sheet within the PPT a great resource and is appealing to all Year 3,4,5 and 6 children I have worked with this ! A super stand alone activity !

The Iron Man by Ted Hughes English and other topics bundle ! Ideal for any teacher who as either never taught the story before or a more experienced teacher looking for some fresh ideas to teach this - I have also done this with a Year 5 class ! Although this bundle is mainly English and Guided reading related there a couple of topic bits that would certainly fit Geography, Art or DT ! This includes at least 3 Big write lessons that would work either stand alone or a couple of days before to build up to as well as a lesson called Ask it which I did as a lead in for the first lesson on this topic which got the children asking a range of questions about a short piece of opening text which was used in addition to the BBC short animated clip on the Iron man also - this was used to great success ! In addition to leveled comprehension questions that once popped into books show progression over time in both guided reading and English books. I believe this to be a great bundle of resources in order to hit the ground running ! Any queries etc do message away - The kids and SMT did like the structure within these lessons and activties here !

Perseverance assembly - Climbing a mountain This is an assembly of mine I did to all of Key Stage 2 over 200 children in the hall to talk to them about the idea of Perservance and what this meant and was all about - the opening slide is a video one and I got them to try and guess the title of the assembly as they came in and watched it - the other slides are for points on discussion and information in regard to this and resilience also - this went very well and the children did get the message !

National Curriculum Grids for all years resource excel Spreadsheet for all primary school years covering the core subjects reading writing and maths and all the objectives - all excellent way of seeing what you have to cover in all years and is helpful when teaching mixed aged classes. This is my bible and I must use this everyday in planning and assessment and I use it as a great go to ! I wish I had this when I was training !

The Iron Man comprehension with set activties for the children to work through - Activty 1 is for the less able children Activity 2 and 3 for the rest are open ended activities I found it went very well and can be used as either a reading lesson or English lesson - good for the children to think about the answers at Year 3,4 and 5 ! Enjoy !

Resource and lesson stand alone to help with the writing of speech with attached resources also - reminders of how and when to punctuate and coloured activties for children at different levels - enjoy !

A Stand alone piece of descriptive writing - Big Write style based on a fairground - sounds and video within this and an example piece of writing to improve Year 6 thought this was very helpful as it addressed all the senses and the basic example they all could verbally improve and write then to greater depth - A good stand alone lesson !

Guided reading question card - ideal for guided reading to use as a prompt sheet or for the children to write up as guided reading questions - this would suit 7-11 age group and just laminate them and you can use them time and again Great resource particularly for independent learning also

Spag starter ideal for coming into lesson to from break and lunch and can be edited and amended as necessary ! For Year 5 and 6 (and below) this was a great way to start the lesson as it was engaging and straight away got the kids to think and be active !

There`s a Pharoah in our bath - continue the story stand alone lesson as a powerpoint with then levelled pieces/colours for the children to work on to write a continuation - Great book for Y3 and Y4 to study and hopefully this should get some good writing for you - A starter activty also built into this to start the lesson on word classes

Enjoy and any questions etc do be in touch !

A whole stand alone lesson on compound sentences with word resources to show progress over a lesson - The inspector said he liked the lesson ! It is a well paced Powerpoint then explains clearly to KS 2 the use of a compound sentence and how to use them - they then put this into practice by using the activities within the attached word document This took a 50 minute lesson and all children accessed this really well - I have done this to years 4,5 and 6 and it has worked well - I hope you find it of use either for a lesson or revision tool

Complex sentences - A stand alone lesson with included resources to print and a self coloured pleanary for the children to show their understanding of complex sentences and use them in context etc - This is a powerpoint although as I say needs the last slides printing off for the activities - any queries do message and I`ll happily help !
