This lesson is part of my SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar - sometimes abbrieviated to GPS) collection. This lesson is the first spelling lesson focusing on the year 3/4 spellings. I followed the Herts for Learning Spelling scheme to create these resources. Resource bundle includes: Lesson Powerpoint (PDF), a lesson resource including model sentences and also a wordsearch with all of the weeks words in. There are ten spellings per week. Slide one: Title page Slide two: Week 1 Overview Slide three: Spelling practice using techniques Slide four: Find the definitions task Slide five: Spelling in context - sentences activity Slide six: Word search with the spellings activity

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.

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 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…

A step-by-step visual poster on how to punctuate using dashes.

A set of two posters with the classic FANBOYS and ISAWAWABUB acronyms reimagined in my style to support conjunction use.

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.

Two posters to celebrate reading and to recommend current and past reads throughout the year with my own example attached - as this is a pdf, you can add your own by sticking images over the top once printed/laminated.

An ‘instead of…’ ‘do…’ poster to support partner editing through conversation modelling.
