This is a 12 slide presentation which would be useful to anyone who is unsure about what the subjunctive is and how to recognise it. The slides show examples of how the present and past subjunctive appear in 9 set expressions in English. Students are challenged to write sentences using five of the expressions. There is a linked worksheet available separately.

This worksheet provides an explanation and examples of the use of ‘who, whom, whose’. The exercise which follows challenges pupils to combine simple sentences to make complex sentences linked by a relative pronoun. Answers are supplied, including notes about why some sentences are punctuated differently from others. The objectives are taken from the Y5/6 programme of study, but the worksheet would also be a useful and challenging resource for older students.

This is a set of seven high interest activities on adjectives. Ideal for parents who are home schooling their children, or for teachers needing resources for distance learning.

This activity consists of a teacher card with 50 spellings and their meanings plus 30 different pupil cards (10 sheets of 3). The teacher has the choice of reading out the words or - for more able groups - the meanings. Great as a starter or plenary activity.

A short text to be used at the beginning of the week as a whole class presentation and basis of SPaG discussion. Related worksheet activities accompany the PowerPoint presentation (punctuation, spelling crossword, writing task, differentiated dictation).

Three worksheets to help in the teaching of number formation. The instructions are on the sheet, but will need teacher modelling and reinforcement.

This is a customisable resource for English designed to get the creative juices flowing. A list of random words (choice of 2 - 5) is generated and pupils are challenged to come up with ways of including all of them in a piece of collaborative writing. As the class comes up with ideas, the teacher records them by typing on the onscreen board. The work can be saved at the end of the session. If pupils are not used to this kind of exercise, I suggest beginning with the 2 word sentence option. Challenge them to make sentences that make links between the words. You can move on to the other options in the menu as they become more confident… Although designed for use in English classes, this resource can easily be adapted for other subjects and for whole school sessions like assemblies. It is great for CPD too (safeguarding training, for instance). The PowerPoint file is stored in a folder with a text file named ‘words’. By replacing the words on this list by your own, the words generated on the screen can be related to any topic you like. Make sure that you keep the text file and the PowerPoint file together, however, or the nothing work. I have included a separate folder with three extra word lists (summer, adjectives, and synonyms for ‘said’). If you decide to use them, you need to rename them as ‘words’ and swap them with the original file in the main folder. You need to enable macros on your computer to use the resource, otherwise nothing will happen!

This is the second Bingo activity based on the spelling list for Year 5/6) It consists of a teacher card with 50 spellings and their meanings plus 30 different pupil cards ( 10 sheets of 3).

There is material here for several days' work for year 6 and above on Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The starting point is a guided reading session to allow pupils to get to grips with the meaning of the texts. The pack contains annotated teacher copies of the two texts to be used for comparison . In a second file are notes for a follow-up drama session where pupils explore the contrasting characters of Scrooge and his nephew. The PowerPoint presentation is a step by step guide on how to write a comparison of contrasting characters. A follow-up pupil worksheet is provided.

A short teacher-controlled presentation for more able KS2 and KS3 pupils. It shows that that the Active and Passive ‘voices’ of verbs can exist in all tenses, including present and past continuous forms. The presentation ends with an on screen exercise where the task is to change 10 sentences from active to passive. The sentences require pupils to manipulate a variety of compound verbs (e.g. James Smith was reading the news / The news was being read by James Smith)

The fourth in a series of comprehension exercises from Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The text is the dialogue between Scrooge and his nephew in the counting-house in stave one. The 10 questions on the text are worth 20 marks in all. The same text is used as the basis of four other activities (cloze, 2 punctuation exercises, and a speed reading text). Suitable for Y6 and up.
