Hi, This resource includes a smart board and powerpoint presentation of poetry activities and ideas. The smart board includes hyperlinks to help with moving through the slides. Each slide is presented in a way that is friendly and bright to capture your pupils imaginations and attention! There are 37 slides.Many including a poetry idea/activity. I am a big believer in deepening my pupil’s vocabulary and hope that each slide achieves the same with your own class. I have placed an emphasis on vocab and have used this as discussion points. I hope that you find this resource useful and that your children’s writing shines! Thanks

This resource structures persuasive writing for your whole class. I have used this resource for Year 3/4 but it can easily be adapted for year 5/6. In the past I have used this a whole lesson and written each sentence as a class to really create an in depth piece of writing. I would ask the children for their ideas and they would collaboratively come up with ideas and then write down after sharing them with whole class. I have also cut the sentence strips out and allowed my higher attaining pupils to play around with the structure. This resource allows the lowers a structure to follow and the opportunity to write without worrying about content and structure. I hope that you enjoy using this resource and that your children’s writing is wonderful! Many thanks

Hi, This resource is great for whole lessons. You can model writing a sustained piece and structure how to add depth and creativity to a paragraph/short/long piece of writing. I’ve played around with how I use this presentation, here are some suggestions, and if you find better ways then please share your good practice. 1. Print slides and allow children to use as prompts for writing about a stimulus. 2. Show children stimulus and then do some talk for writing, than ask them to write sentence/paragraph 1 and then share with class. Repeat process for all 6 sentence types. 3. Print the slides and cut the strips up. Allow children to mix and match to create different structures. I really hope that this resource is useful. Many thanks

This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds. To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds. You could use two boards or a die up to 3. I hope that your class enjoys playing these games. Many thanks for viewing.
