This writing unit is pitched at Y5. It was originally delivered in the summer term, therefore outcomes are more child friendly. To deliver, we used the graphic novel version of The Hobbit. Writing outcomes include: 1.Persuasive advert 2.Top Trump Cards 3. Play Script for a scene 4. Persuasive letter Skills focus: modal verbs, parenthesis, blendign description, action and dialogue elements, relative clauses and expanded noun-phrases. The unit includes lesson plan, modelling powerpoint and lessons resources. *Note, the first three weeks of grammar starters are planned for and included. The last week grammar starters are to be inserted, to address gaps that your class need revision of ahead of Y6).

This unit included a fully planned and resourced unit on writing poetry with figurative language, inspired by the works of Pie Corbett and Valerie Bloom. I’d recommend teaching this at the start of Y6 to revise descriptive skills taught in Y5, ready to apply them to varies outcomes over the year. The pack includes: -3 weeks writing plan, supporting modelling powerpoint and resources Note: Supporting reading unit resources to use alongside this unit are also available to buy in my shop (2 weeks respond to reading planning, supporting modelling powerpoint and resource and 1 week comprehension week plan, supporting modelling powerpoint and resources) Plans show Y6 skills to be covered and also links to Y5/4 for lower attainers. Lessons, resources and powerpoint slides are all numbered to ease finding and printing resources for each lesson. Anything to make teaching easier! Enjoy!

Week 2 of mystery Genre (week 2 being sold also in my shop) Week is based on the mystery genre story 'I'll take you to Mrs Cole' (story included in a powerpoint). Includes children imagining what is inside Mrs Cole's cellar, practicing dialogue . Chn relate to the story by imagining that they are the child and that they are wondering and threating about what is inside their Head Teachers office. At the end of a week, there is an activity that can be used as an opportunity to assess children's indepedent writing applying skills learnt over the week, All lessons are differentiated.

This resource is a huge time saver! I produced these ppt’s to correlate with the No nonsense spelling framework. This worked successfully in Y5 as it meant I could literally open up the ppt each morning and I was good to go. All spellings on the no nonsense spelling programme have been spread out across the yearly ppts (split into 6 half terms) to ensure coverage. Again, this is to be used alongside the No Nonsense Spelling programme.

Full 3 week unit for 'The Tine Forest' aimed at Y3 literacy skills! Includes differentiated plans, resources, video link and short story text for 'The Tin Forest'. All planning includes grammar focused lesson starters, whole class teach, support identified, follow up opportunities for chn to apply skills modelled, plenaries and success criteria. Each week plan includes an opportunity for an independent write to allow chn to apply the skills practiced in different contexts(context for these provided in plans). This is effective in enabling the teacher to assess how secure skills are and to identify next steps in learning.

This resource is a huge time saver! I produced these PPT’s to correlate with the No nonsense spelling framework. This worked successfully in Y6 as it meant I could literally open up the ppt each morning and I was good to go. The spelling practise follows the no nonsense spelling programme (Y6) which included revisits some prior learning as well as new learning. Again, this is to be used alongside the No Nonsense Spelling programme. I also have these available for Y3 and Y5.

One of my favourite novel as a theme units! This 3 week unit of planning promotes children to use lots of new vocabulary to enhance their writing and reading skills! Skills are practised and reinforces throughout the thorough 3 week unit e.g. sentence structure skills, vocabulary, recounts skills, descriptive skills, writing in 1st and 3rd person, grammar starter prompts plus more. I found that this text was a winner with children as eventhough it had lots of new unfamiliar vocabulary to challenge and stretch the children’s language choices, the humour and mischief that Paddington gets up to throughout the text consistently pulls the children in and makes them enjoy their writing! (Hence making a teachers job easier!) There are some resources to support, along with links to videos where appropriate. The DVD is always a plus to support teaching so that the chidlren can see snapshots of parts of the book that they have read in action (Paddington and the bathroom scene went down a storm!) I strongly recommend this as a Novel as a theme! Planning id detailed, differentiated, with recommended TA/T support where needs, including plenaries, success criterias and grammar starter ideas. All learning objectives are lifted from the Y3 literacy objectives. Enjoy!
