This bundle contains 29 different emotion cards, which can be made into hand-sized resources for descriptive writing. I pin my to my English working wall, as a resource for pupils to use if needed, but they would work on table tops too! Each card has eight sentences, which show an emotion rather than telling how a character feels. So rather than pupils writing: Emmy feels sad… They could utilise the resource to write: Emmy hung her head low. She took a deep, heavy breath out of her trembling lips…

I created these as visual aids to be hung above my interactive whiteboard, as a reminder of each word class. Great for a teaching resource or a personal memory aid. Includes ** 8 different word classes**, with examples, descriptions and visual prompts. verb noun adverb adjective determiner preposition conjunction pronoun Enjoy!

I’ve collated a range of book recommendations for my Year 5’s to display in my book corner throughout the year. I’m hoping these will act as hooks to engage my pupils and encourage them to read something new! Within this resource, there are 16 pages of recommendations: each page contains 3 book recommendations (48 recommendations in total) for pupils ranging from 9-12 years old. Each recommendation includes a quote, the book cover and a summary/blurb of the book. The recommendations are around A6 in size, but could be printed larger. I’ve opted for a green gender-neutral checkerboard design, as I know it’s a design which all pupils will enjoy. I hope your class are inspired by these as much as mine have been! please note: I’ve included more books than 1 per week, as I’ve tried to account for books being used within the curriculum

This resource contains 40 high frequency words, each containing 14 synonyms. They are a great visual resource for creative writing and editing. I hang mine onto my English Working Wall as cute hand-sized packs, which I ring-bind together, after laminating.

This is a really fun interactive display, which has synonym ‘fries’ within take-away style packaging. My English Working Wall display has synonym store, which has **10 high frequency **words and its synonyms. All of the synonyms are in the form of fries, which pupils can use when they are editing their creative writing. This resources works alongside my ‘mini thesaurus’ resources, however these are more interactive and fun. They have definitely made my pupils more interested in vocab! I bought some cheap craft cardboard chip packages to place my synonym fries in. The text is cursive and written in mayo and ketchup colours! There are 119 synonym fries in total - providing my quick Maths is correct! Note: I use the synonym fries (small) for my display. I hope you and your pupils enjoy!
