A 4 - week unit of work focussing on story writing. Used in Year 4 but could easily be adapted for UKS2. A detailed 4-week (20 lessons) unit in the style of T4W covering the Imitation, Innovation and Independent writing based on writing a portal story. For each week there are resources (all labelled with what lesson), powerpoint slides (so all can access), images and other resources needed. Each day there are starters, inputs, differentiated activities and plenaries in the format of Powerpoint The objectives covered in this unit are: • Writing for emotion • Show not tell • Prepositions • Clauses • Expanded Noun Phrases A few of the lessons do reference Rainbow Grammar. You can still do these lessons even if you don’t follow Rainbow Grammar. It is self-explanatory and the slides do go through it all. Lessons 1 – 5 are all on separate PowerPoint slides but the rest of the lessons are on one PowerPoints for ease. If there is anything missing, please let me know so I can rectify. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching this unit. Happy teaching!

5 Weeks of planning for the book ‘Fastest Boy in the World’ book written by Elizabeth Laird. Each week there are slides (Google Slides) and resources for 2 - 3 lessons a week in their books (some weeks there are 3 book lessons) all other lessons are reading, discussions or verbal lessons.

I have taught this for the past 2 years and thoroughly enjoyed teaching it. Children love it. Based on UK National Curriculum for Year 4 children (8-9 years old) but could easily be adapted to suit other ages and other curriculums. Happy Teaching!!
