This resource supports children with writing up a science investigation. They often need support with what the structure is, how to start each paragraph and what a good write up should contain and this supports each step. It is aimed at children in KS2 but could be adapted for specific parts of upper or lower KS2.

This resource is designed for children in Upper KS2 to have a writing checklist in front of them while they’re writing. When they have used the skill, they remove the slip which displays that specific skill. It means that they are motivated to demonstrate all the skills and can easily see their gaps. It’s great for motivating and targetting children during the editing process.

This resource is aimed at encouraging children to upgrade sentences by editing existing ones with adjectives. The resource includes an adapted version too for children who need more support with editing. This editing task is mainly for the descriptive writing of a setting - specifically a seaside location. The task is aimed at children who have just started in Year 5 but this could be used in Year 4 to Year 6 depending on the ability of the children in your class. The sentences are loosely based around the story Malamander but could be used away from the book if you are looking at setting descriptions.

The resource would be useful for any teacher in Upper KS2 who is looking to get children to edit a setting description. It provides a paragraph and then a checklist for the skills they could show to improve it. There are two paragraphs for differentiation. A lower number of skills and a shorter passage to edit. A more age appropriate expected writing passage with more errors to correct and skills to include.
