I have created these working scientifically bottles to support children in UKS2 in recognising the science skills they are practicing. I use these on my science display and ensure they are placed with easy access so I can take them down and stick them to the board, depending on which is relevant to the lesson we are doing.

Encourage children to write like an author with this author word mat! While reading books, I note down adventurous vocabulary and sentence structures that the author uses. I then pull all of this together to make a word mat for that book, separated into sections: verbs, adverbs, adjectives, nouns and phrases to inspire children to write like an author. As the word mat is separated into sections, it makes it so much more accessible for children to use independently.

A model text written for KS2 based around ‘Fantastic Beasts and where to find them’ that echos all the features of instructions. This model focuses on the ‘niffler’ who likes to steal anything shiny. I have taught this unit for the last 5 years and the children adore it.

A guide I created for my Year 5’s, breaking up all of the features they should include into paragraphs. I stick this down the left hand side of their books and they write next to it, using it as checklist.

Progession cover sheets for every science topic in every year group. An excellent document to have to inform planning and ensure children’s retention of prior knowledge or extension of further knowledge. Also a beneficial tool for subject leaders and staff to feel confident with the questioning during OFSTED visits.
