A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences. A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.

Two activities based on using inference and deduction. Both have been differentiated slightly for higher and lower ability pupils. The first activity gives a situation. Children have to use clues to decide how the character is feeling and what must have happened to them. The mastery activity uses a paragraph of fiction in a familiar setting. There are test-style questions underneath, with more scaffolding/multiple choice for lower ability pupils.

This resource requires children to cut up information (and subheadings for more able) and group them into the correct paragraphs. It is differentiated 3 ways to support different abilities. The writing concerns facts about volcanoes. Pictures used are from Twinkl.

This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.
