Egyptian Shape Poems

(0)
This is a set of resources that I use for my year 3 and 4 group. They are Egyptian themed so that they can link in with humanities topic. Shape poems are a great introduction to writing in a poetic structure for children, and the shapes offered in this pack are: canopic jars, a sarcophagus and a pyramid. I modelled the pyramid shape to the class so that my lower ability group had more input tailored to them. LO: To write a topical shape poem

How To Train Your Dragon: Book Review (Cressida Cowell)

(0)
Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on How To Train Your Dragon (Book 1) by Cressida Cowell. In this book review, children are asked to summarise the main parts of the story, give their opinion on the story as a whole, state the funniest, scariest and favorite parts, rate the story from 1-5, explain if they would recommend the book, and discuss who their favourite and least favourite characters were. This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are. Included in this download: PDF version of the book review .docx Word document version of the book review for editing purposes ‘Lost in Chalk’ font to help you edit the resource and keep the style I hope this resource helps you to save time and save stress!
