This resource contains a poster giving examples of various fronted adverbials and explaining how they are used.
The worksheet is designed to help familiarise children with fronted adverbials and makes a great homework activity or lesson starter. Children are asked to match sentences to appropriate fronted adverbials, rearrange adverbial phrases in sentences and come up with their own fronted adverbials. Answers are also included.
Every two years, our school puts on a Summer Carnival where each year group gives a performance based around a different country. Last year, Year 3's country was Japan. The children learnt how to sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' in Japanese. They also performed a contemporary dance and wore traditional Japanese clothes and accessories. It was a fantastic event and the children loved every minute of it. I have uploaded the lyrics in case you would like to try something similar at your school. This link takes you to the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGgOKEaMWZU
Cut up this grid for children to play a punctuation matching game. They must match the punctuation symbol to its name and how it is used. This makes a good starter or plenary activity.
These Maths activities were created for a problem solving lesson. They are based on similar questions found in SATs papers. The pack includes 5 differentiated activities which involve the children selecting number cards and rearranging them to create different numbers. They must use logic and reasoning skills and show an understanding of place value. I was very happy with this lesson and the children enjoyed it too. =)
I created this resource as a starter for a lesson on writing play scripts. I wanted children to recap what they already knew about the layout and punctuation of play scripts.
Each page of this document was used for a different table group. I cut out the individual words and punctuation marks then provided them to the children in envelopes. They had to work in groups to order the words and punctuation so that they made sense as part of a play script.
The children enjoyed this fun starter and it was also a good opportunity for me to assess their prior knowledge and understanding.
During a Year 5 Unit on 'Aquila' by Andrew Norriss, I wanted to encourage my higher ability pupils to look for evidence in the text to support their character descriptions. The first activity asks the children to come up with words to describe either Tom or Geoff. For each characteristic, they must then find the evidence in the text, noting down a quotation and the page number it was found on.
After this, I asked the children to compare Tom and Geoff including evidence from the text. I provided them with an example that compares the two teachers instead. This way, they could see how I expected the work to be laid out.
I have included the initial table for recording evidence from the text as well as the example I gave them for the main task.
As part of our history topic on 'The Stone Age', children learnt how to dye fabrics using natural sources. After physically having a go, the children wrote instructions about what they did.
I created this worksheet to be used as part of the Year 3 Science topic 'Rocks and Soils'. Children had to describe each rock using a range of scientific vocabulary which was provided. They then had to think about the properties of each rock and suggest uses for them.
These resources were made to support children in Literacy lessons. They can be laminated and left on the tables. The first resource reminds children of the 5Ws when writing a report. They can then make sure they have answered all of the questions. the second resource is a prompt to remind children when to begin a new paragraph.
- A homework task for higher ability Year 5 children, in which they must apply their knowledge and understanding of both present perfect tense and modal verbs.
- A homework task for a lower ability group of children, in which they must colour sentences in different colours depending on the tense of each sentence.
‘Cliffhanger’ by Jacqueline Wilson is a great book that the children always love to read. I was teaching a unit on Letter Writing and wanted to link it to the text we were reading as a class. I created these two example letters from the characters of Giles and Jake. They model using different types of punctuation as well as informal language. The children’s task was to write their own letters in reply to these characters.
I created this resource when I was completing my teacher training as I wanted to evidence that I had explicitly planned for a teaching assistant.
I found it worked really well, especially as the TA was fairly new to the role. I would recommend this resource to NQTs and teachers with new teaching assistants.
I have left an example plan that can be edited. The second sheet also allows the TA to give some written feedback about how the activity went.
This resource contains two posters designed to explain how to use apostrophes to show both possession and omission.
Both posters contain examples for pupils to see as well as explanations of how apostrophes should be used, including for plural possession.
A set of two posters designed to demonstrate how to use the bar model for addition and subtraction. The second poster show how the bar model can be used to solve missing number problems by using the inverse operation.
