Hi there,
Here's some of this week's planning for play scripts. It's an often forgotten text type, but is helpful for many reasons.
I used this blank iphone template for children to separate who is saying what in a piece of text in order to prep them for writing a play script this week. I hope it works for you!

Hi there!
This is one of my biggest bundles for you guys.
In here, there are 8 meticulously planned lessons, with extension work and opportunities to extend the learning over multiple literacy slots.
There are 12 separate work sheets, including sorting activities, flash cards for drama, using the example of how chocolate is made.
All learning objectives and success criteria are outlined for each individual lesson, and all links for extra resources to be found are on the series plan.
Honestly, this has the potential to save you a LOT of work!
It can be used for any year in primary, as there are alternative difficulty options, and vocabulary choices that can be altered to make it harder/easier.
I hope you enjoy it :)
Happy teaching,
Miss Ritchie

Here is a diary planning resource. It comes as part of a larger set, which you can find at this link: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks2-diary-writing-entire-unit-12301089
Hi there,
There are three resources in this pack. There's a background assembly powerpoint to create a backdrop (including links to sound effects etc), the lyrics to a version of 'Gold' by Spandeau Ballet with the lyric changed to 'STONE!' (much comedy), and the script.
On the script document, there's also a helpful table to write down who's who.
