This is a slide which introduces the LO; To write a powerful description. It is all based on writing a powerful description on the topic of a forest.

There is a forest description already written that can be read and discussed with the class, and then finally the Success criteria is shown to discuss with the chn how they will be successful. Will save time I'm sure!

This is a resource where the children have to create a persuasive poster on the Caribbean. There are two photos of a Caribbean beach which the children can choose from. Then the children use the boxes provided to write their persuasive information on and cut out and stick on the poster. I encouraged the chn to use all of the features of persuasive posters e.g. alliteration, bossy verbs, slogans, rhetorical questions, facts etc. They loved this lesson. I also enlarged the sheets to A3. Will save lots of time!

This week we have begun to introduce Reciprocal Reading to Y3. For the first session we did it as a whole class. First I handed out the picture that went with the story. We discussed it and came up with words which described the pictures and then predicted what the story was about. Next we clarified any unknown words / phrases, encouraging the chn to ask questions to each other and then I gave them three question, a looking one (retrieval) and clue (inference) and then a thinking question - their opinion. Finally we summarised the passage using the key points. The children loved this passage - it can be found online - COLD AS CLAY (from a book full of short scary stories) and the photo was of two people on a horse.

This is a topic web for Y3 on the topic let there be light. If anything this will be useful to have simply for the LO's which you can use and helot to guide you plan the term. The children are loving it so far!

This is such a useful worksheet to give to the children when they are free reading. Once they have read for a certain amount of time they can write about what they have read. This encourages the children to summarise and conclude what they have read. It also helps the teacher to see if they have actually been reading! There are two spaces on the worksheet where the children can note down any new words they like or any words they don't know the meaning of; and can they use a dictionary to find out the meaning! If I don't put these worksheets on the tables during guided reading, the children start asking for them! Can be edited and will save time!
