From analysing the basic elements in an original fairytale, to planning and finally writing their own fractured fairytale, these sheets have been used successfully with students in years 4, 5 and 6. Could be structured as 3 separate writing lessons.

Four step sequence. Ten common words to be filled in, and pictures to be drawn, to explain how to make a sandcastle. A Word document that you may amend to suit student needs.

Set of 24 cards which include standard and non-standard shapes to use as a whole class activity. Word document to allow amendments to suit your students' needs.

A basic Word document, with prompts for writing: the date, three sentences and salutations. Dotted thirds for supporting correct letter formation. Easily adaptable to suit your specific needs.

Good to use as an early morning / fill in activity. All 20 words read left to right. Was unsure whether this is KS1 or Early years, so apologies if 'staged&' incorrectly [from Australian member!]

This poster-type format forms a quick activity for students meeting their (younger student) buddy for the first time. The questions guide the older student to promote discussion and elicit responses which are recorded on the poster. By completing the activity, the buddied students should discover something they have in common, despite age difference.
