It's simple really: English grammar can be a very dry subject, but this need not be the case. For a few years now, I have been developing a games-based approach to teaching important grammar concepts. It is amazing how the introduction of dice takes the learning into a new place - the element of chance making it seem less like work and more like play. Because I test my games extensively in the classroom, I get a feel for what works. Dump your boring worksheets and start dicing with grammar.

I always seem to get the best writing from my class when there are strange creatures and beasts involved. If you do too, I think you’ll love these plans and resources.

Here are three of my favourite writing units. I have used them in Y4, Y5 and Y6.
There is 3 weeks of myth writing, inspired by the traditional story ‘The Asrai’ (a mysterious lake creature).
There is 3 weeks of legend writing, inspired by a short version of ‘Beowulf’.
There is 3 weeks of legend writing, `
1 week of performance poetry and book making inspired by ‘Theseus’.
There is 1 week of poetry writing, inspired by ‘The Kraken’.

This is an incredibly comprehensive bundle with many resources that would have taken me ages to source. As a busy teacher using the T4W process in a SEN setting, it is especially relevant as when planning you have to remember to go through the stages in order. It also gives me time to think about how to adapt and ensure my students are suitably challenged.
