Here are 3 versions of a book template which I adapted to my year 2/3 class. It looks at who they think would like it, what their opinion of the book is, whether it is fact or fiction and a 5 star rating.
A set of 6 pictures to get children to describe settings. They include a beach, planet, under the sea, night-time, jungle and desert. I asked the children to go around in groups and write adjectives on each picture.
<p>A template to turn one A4 piece of paper into a booklet with a front cover and three writing pages (and pictures). Just fold on the dotted lines (it saves the need for being a master of origami!). Place the paper with the long edge at the top and fold the vertical centre line. Then fold the remaining dotted line so that the large square becomes the front page</p>
<p>Also included is a page which can be used as an insert for children who will write more. Its easily adaptable to change line height.</p>
3 Versions of a Wanted! poster and one filled out example. I used it for the Loch Ness monster but could be used for any character. It asks children to describe the character, the reason for them to be found and a reward price. There is also a space for a drawing or picture of the character.
<p>Here are four worksheets based on the book How The Rabbit Stole The Fire by Joanna Troughton. All are differentiated, have a Native American border, pictures from the story and WALT’s and WILF’s.</p>
<p>1. Character description of Rabbit - Describe Rabbit’s personality and use conjuntions to join sentences and to add reasons for his behaviour.<br />
2. Thought Bubbles. - What might the characters be thinking as the Sky People chase Rabbit?<br />
3. Setting description words - Think of adjectives and similes to describe the woodland setting.<br />
4. As above but turn these words into sentences.</p>
<p>A good chance to practice expanded noun phrases.</p>
<p>Three versions of a character profile for an alien story. It asks children to come up with adjectives to describe their alien and then turn them into sentences.</p>
<p>A WALT and WILF on the sheet which can be changed to suit your lesson. As it is was used for year 2, the WALT and WILF are non specific to be used as evidence for independent writing.</p>
Christmas themed outlines for a variety of Christmas activities. I used mine to draw around with wax crayons and then pained over with watercolour. Outlines include - Christmas tree with star, angel, present and bauble.<br />
<br />
Also included is a template for a 3d bauble.<br />
Decorate both sides of the bauble and cut along the lines. Simply slide together and attach string.
Here is a unit of work on the topic of Who is a Christian and what do they believe? It has been created using various resources pulled together to make one cohesive unit of six lessons. It includes big questions for display and a couple of the worksheets to go alongside the lesson.
One worksheet is for the children to write a short description of their summer holiday. It has a WALT and WILF and one version has a word bank for ideas or spelling support.<br />
<br />
The other worksheet is an art activity. The children need to draw their self portrait and write their name on the first day back. They then repeat this on the same sheet at the end of the school year.
<p>Two versions of a biography/famous person write up activity.</p>
<p>One is left blank for your own titles (or for the children to decide).</p>
<p>One has suggested titles/headings.</p>
<p>Of course, there is space for a picture too!</p>
A self assessment writing checklist for children to use after they have written their work. One column for them to tick and one for the teacher to tick. It's good as a way to check gaps, and collect evidence for moderation.<br />
<br />
The first sheet has the working towards comments with 3 copies to print and cut.<br />
The second sheet has the comments for working at.<br />
The third sheet has the comments for working at plus the working at greater depth.<br />
<br />
It is colour coded into sections - pinky/red for spelling, blue for punctuation and grammar and green for handwriting.

An activity for children to use an atlas to find England, New York and the Atlantic Ocean. They can then mark the journey taken by James and the peach.
There are questions to encourage the children to use an atlas to find out further information e.g what countries might they have seen? What continent is England in? etc. It can be adapted to suit.
