This is by far my favourite display ever! I still can’t believe I created something so cute. Definitely gender neutral and my pupils love it. This is a super cute display for Accelerated Reader, which focuses on percentage rather than words read, so it’s inclusive for all. I went for a star wars theme because I wanted it to go for a sci-fi vibe. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 40 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most reading tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards. Enjoy!

This is a great resource which I’ve used for multiple creative writing tasks, particularly short stories. It includes the key elements of a story, with prompts and a brief description of what is usually in each. Once the scaffolding is used, I often encourage my higher attainers to think how they could move away from the scaffold, perhaps using the ending as a beginning for example.

I have created this resource for pupils to review books that they have read. I’m hoping these will act as inspiration for others in my class and will provide a love for reading. I’m going to display these within my reading corner and perhaps create a floor book with them in.

These are my new cow print display labels, which I’m using on my own displays this year. Hope you enjoy. Miss Hulse ✿
