*Example of activity:
Part 1: You left the house. Where were you going? How were you travelling?
Eaxmple: With a spring in my step, I bounded through the creaky old gate. I felt uplifted by the sunshine as I walked towards Amy’s house.

*2nd Example of activity:
Part 1: You went on a trip. Where? What was your mode of transport?
Example: Excited, I got onto the huge train that would take me to the countryside for my camping trip. I was so excited to have a holiday with my scout friends, although I was worried about feeling homesick.

Included:
*The activities are divided into 5 days.
*Each day has a scene descriptor, instructions about what to write and an example as above.
*There are 2 boxes for the children to write their 2 high quality sentences.
*At the bottom of the page are 8 National Curriculum writing objectives from year 3-5.
*Use the objectives by ticking them off, producing tally marks for each skill or using as ‘prove-its’; colour the box then use the same colour to underline where it was used.
*2 of the stories cover 2 weeks (10 parts) and 2 stories cover 1 week each (5 parts) so there are 6 weeks worth altogether.
*After 5 or 10 days, they will have written a full story.
*Created using MS Powerpoint and fully editable.

Suggested use
*Give as morning work and share examples each day.
*Supplement lessons - those days when we suddenly have extra time that we weren’t expecting and need a low resource lesson that can get he children settled and working quickly.
*Lessons - excellent for providing the children with a set structure to follow so that they can concentrate on word and sentence level skills.
*Lessons - Can be completed in 1 lesson then used as a starting point for a longer piece of writing.
*Writing assessment
*Homework
*Excellent for mixed year groups

Tips
*Print onto A3 paper for younger children and/or those with large handwriting.
*Encourage the children to write more than 2 sentences if they need to but stress that the sentences should be high quality and contain one of their year group skills.
*Edit the success criteria at the bottom to suit your class/year group.
