This is a set of resources that I use for my year 3 and 4 group. They are Egyptian themed so that they can link in with humanities topic. Shape poems are a great introduction to writing in a poetic structure for children, and the shapes offered in this pack are: canopic jars, a sarcophagus and a pyramid. I modelled the pyramid shape to the class so that my lower ability group had more input tailored to them. LO: To write a topical shape poem

COVID-19 has flummoxed us all, and it is vital that we ensure none of the children in our care get left behind in any facet of English language learning. This Recovery Curriculum document outlines key, end-of-year expectations for Year 4 in line with the National Curriculum strands for English. In this document, Year 3 expectations are included in the left-hand column and act as prerequisites to tick off before a child moves on to the Year 4 expectation. This acts as a net to catch any gaps that may have manifested due to the time off in lockdown during the academic year of 2019-2020. How do I use this product? I will be sticking these into the back of the children’s books and ticking them off when completed. They could also be assigned to a child digitally to save on paper and needless touching of joint resources. Alternatively, these could be used holistically for an entire class, or for emerging, expected & exceeding groups.
