This PP and WAGOLL image I used for a lesson building up to Year 6 CHN writing a setting description of a magical world they invented. The week went like this:
Monday- Brainstorm ideas for towns, cities and landscapes.
Tuesday- Draw the map and name the areas. CHN were allowed to colour and add more decorations during their early morning activity for the rest of the week.
Wednesday- Drama! Describe their land to a peer so they can draw it from the description. Note good vocabulary in word bank/
Thursday- Plan the setting description moving through the world they created
Friday- Plan and final write of description.

I like to have a monthly spread in my teacher diary (which our school diaries do not have) so I made this to print and stick on the first day of each month. I like to doodle patterns and colours on it each month too as I find it keeps me more engaged with keeping track.
I created this for some of the SEND children in my class to assist them in becoming more independent in the more necessary aspects of their day such as presentation and spelling.
The mat has the 42 sounds with the linked graphemes, the alphabet, days of the week, a 100 square and some words they are likely to use.
