A whole terms English unit including: learning journey, resources, models of excellence, powerpoints and scaffolds, based on the story of The Savage by David Almond. In particular, boys have really enjoyed this writing unit and have thrived with their writing. This unit of writing includes a character description, suspense writing, diary entry and a newspaper report.
During an apprentice write there is also a unit including the Literacy Shed video ‘Little Freak’ so that they can compare these characters. An extremely emotive video and used effectively.

All of the writing objectives on one handy sheet for every year group!
Each year group is spit into Below, Expected and Greater Depth statements with easy colour coding to seperate transcription, grammar and composition statements.
Useful as a planning tool: to see what needs revisiting or even planning altogether, as well as assessing and planning for progress. I would use one sheet per child but this is not necessary.
All reviews are welcome.
