I created the splat activity resource for a student who was having difficulty in knowing when to use ou and ow in spellings. The activity itself can be easily adapted to other spellings and I first came across it as a game for teaching the multiplication tables. The second activity I created to revise magic e spellings with an older student, using the National Curriculum KS2 spelling list to identify words that use magic e. The activity can be used with any spelling list or text. It could also be sued as an independent individual or group learning activity.

An activity to support students in spelling past tense verbs (both regular and irregular). This activity enables the student to practice spelling rules such as change the y into I and add ed and when to double a consonant before adding ed.

I created this resource to support a reluctant writer to write with detailed. The student has wonderful ideas when we discuss writing stories and descriptions but frequently does not include these ideas when writing. The prompt encourages the students to quickly build a bank of words, identify the theme for each paragraphs. After writing there is also a prompt to edit and develop their work. I have also used this prompt with a student preparing for GCSE.

I created this resource using two traditional rhymes with the purpose of supporting students in learning to spell the days of the week and the months of the year. It can also help them remember the sequence of the months. It evolved to became a writing prompt where the students create their own poems describing activities that occur on a particular day or month.

This resource encourages students to use both similes and metaphors.

I created this resource for an individual student who was asking about remembrance poppies. The student is not a confident reader so I wrote short statements and instructions are given for the students to follow so that at the end of the activity a poppy and a leaf is cut out and glued correctly onto a coat template. The students are also encouraged to add their own thoughts and facts about Remembrance Day.

This resource includes facts about the Northern Lights with a prompt for writing a kenning. Some two-word ideas are included to support students who are not confident writers.

This resource is based on the poem ‘In the Bleak Mid-Winter’ by Christina Rossetti. I created it for a student who can discuss a text but as a reluctant writer needs encouraging and practice at writing about poetry or a given text in detail. The resource includes the poem, a exam type question, a success criteria and a prompt for organising a written detailed answer. Although the resource was created for an individual student it can be used as a classroom resource or as an independent learning activity.
