A handy writing checklist for early writers. The words have symbols next to them so that the children can understand what they are expected to do and self assess their work related to the success criteria.

Students need to use their knowledge of nouns and adjectives to describe the creature. There is a visual success criteria checklist at the top of the page that remind them to include capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.

A review activity after teaching appearance and personality adjectives to describe a person.

The product also comes with a ‘cheat sheet’ to help learners with ideas and spellings.

This worksheet is for the children to plan out their sales pitch for a chocolate bar they will create. It allows the students to discuss in their groups and write down their ideas. I got my students to do this before creating the packaging for their chocolate bar and creating the script for their pitch.

New years resolution colouring page and worksheet for young learners. Students will write in the star “This year I will try to…”

Students write a letter to themselves to open again at a later date to see how much has changed and how much they have grown. Includes guideline questions to give them ideas on what to write about.

These signs are to be used as an indicator for what students are required to do at each spelling station. I use these for a carousel style lesson where children have about 10 minutes to complete the task with their spelling words for the week, then once the time is up they move on to the next. There are activities such as writing ‘silly’ sentences, writing the words backwards and writing their words in ‘fancy’ writing.

This is a PowerPoint presentation to be used every time you are doing spelling in the classroom. It has space for 4 spelling groups with humorous bee themed names that the children will love e.g. Mr BEEns, OBEE wan KenoBEEs. However these can be edited if required. The PowerPoint has a space to announce the groups, and has an order of tasks in a rotation including teacher time and other activities for children to be working on. There is also slides describing what each task requires them to do.

A home scavenger hunt perfect for a bit of fun during distance learning on zoom. The items that the students need to find are very general and they come up with lots of different cool ideas as some are shapes and colours. Students can talk to the rest of the class about the item they have found for class points! The children love it and it is lots of fun and gets them excited and up and moving around their house instead of sat in front of the computer the whole time. The powerpoint can be edited to be made more difficult or descriptive for older students so it is suitable for everyone, enjoy!

This PowerPoint Presentation is a great introduction to a ‘sales pitch’ style unit using persuasive writing techniques in which they are required to create their own chocolate bar to pitch. There is enough content on this to be used over many lessons. The presentation first explains what a sales pitch is and shows a child friendly example of one. Then the children look at some examples of chocolate bar wrappers before being quizzed on some slogans for existing chocolate bars. It also goes into more depth about sales pitches and offers opportunities for the children to act out some examples and find the persuasive techniques in them. There is also a success criteria checklist for the children to check that they have everything included in their own, such as a rhetorical question, hand gestures and eye contact. I did this with my Primary 5 (Year 4) students and they absolutely loved it!
