This is a WAGOLL, written by me, for a mini topic on Antarctic Animals Information Texts. This particular text is on Emperor Penguins, which was what the LA children were writing about. It contains examples from the Y5 National Curriculum, including parenthesis, subordinate clauses, relative clauses, expanded noun phrases, colons and semi-colons. Please write in the Reviews if you spot any mistakes!

A huge bundle of resources linked to Street Child by Berlie Doherty. This is a story based in Victorian times about a boy who loses his family and survives on the streets. It includes work on: narrative writing, report writing, commas, subordinating conjunctions, reading comprehension, diary entries, etc.

This is a WAGOLL that I wrote for a Survival Story mini topic in English. It is aimed at Year 5 children, and includes examples of skills we have learned in previous English lessons, these include (but are not limited to) parenthesis, figurative language, dialogue sentences, use of commas, fronted adverbials, subordinating conjunctions and relative clauses. Included in this file is: A plain version of the WAGOLL A highlighted version - key skills are highlighted to make it easier to analyse/to differentiate for lower ability. A WAGOLL analysis sheet created by me. A WAGOLL analysis flipchart created by me. Here is an excerpt from the survival story: When he finished speaking, I felt the first drop of rain hit me. The droplets were huge, looking like bullets falling into the ocean. Then a gust of wind threw some of them at me, making me cough and splutter. My heart felt as though it would explode from my chest as the ship lurched to the side once more. How would we ever make it through this storm? I heard my dad shout frantically, “Hold on!” and a wave of water crashed into the side and spilled over onto the ship. Suddenly the deck was covered in water, and it was quickly rising up against my legs. I didn’t know what to do. My sister (the brave and sensible one of our family) tried to wade through the water to our dad, who was trying to keep control of the boat. The white sails were billowing like pillowcases in the wind and the wooden sides were slippery and damp.

Originally written for a Y5 class, so the WAGOLL contains examples of various Y5 writing objectives. Could be tailored towards Y4 or Y6. Our focus is on suffixes, prefixes and homophones, so there are examples of these within the setting description. Some words/phrases magpied from the Grammarsaurus. There are also examples of: parenthesis semi-colons fronted adverbials subordinating conjunctions hyphenated words similes metaphors personification Use of 5 senses There is a highlighted version, where various words and phrases are highlighted, so that children can see where examples of the writing objectives have been used.

There are 2 model Year 5 texts included in this resource. One is told from Ayesha’s point of view. (Oranges in No Man’s Land). One is told from her little brother, Latif’s point of view. We had a big focus on prefixes (un, mis, dis, de, re) and homophones. The prefixes in the first are highlighted yellow. The prefixes in the second are highlighted yellow and the homophones are highlighted green. There are also examples of other Y5 writing objectives used throughout both examples, including: semi-colons, parenthesis, subordinating conjunctions, a variety of sentence types, direct speech, paragraphs, fronted adverbials, effective vocabulary, etc.

A selection of different Vocabulary lessons aimed at Year 5 Autumn Term 1 (though the words could be used at any time of the year!!) If you would like an idea as to which words have been used in these flip charts, please see my free resource here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-5-ht1-vocabulary-flipchart-information-words-11500841 There are 5 words per week, and each word contains slides for: definition, sentence in context, visual context, different contexts, a context that the children will understand, i.e. to do with school, etc (these may need adapting for your class!) and a question/discussion/SPaG related question.

4 weeks worth of Activ Inspire flip charts for Vocabulary lessons. This has been a huge focus in my school recently, to improve the vocabulary skills of our children. These words are set quite high, in line with the new National Curriculum. Originally aimed at Y5 children. They include words such as: bizarre, benevolent, lopsided and intact. They contain 5 words for each week. Each word contains a slide for: introducing the word, having the word in a sentence (context), showing an image and definition of the word, having the word in different contexts, having the word in a familiar context (may need adapting for your children), and a linked SPaG question. Contains many opportunities for reading, writing and SPaG links. NEW - now contains a 'potato' activity for each word (see cover image). The children are given 3 sentences with the new vocab words in, but the words have been replaced with the word 'potato'. The children have to use the sentence to figure out what the new word is.

A selection of differentiated success criteria. E = Emerging, D = Developing, S = Secure. This selection includes: A survival story Non Chronological report Diary Entry Persuasive Text Character Description The selection links to the English Y5 Curriculum.

This resource is a WAGOLL Information text written by me, based on The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan. It includes skills we have been learning about in Year 5, such as: fronted adverbials, colons, subheadings, conjunctions and commas.

One flipchart for each week. Each flipchart contains 5 words, example sentences, sentences in context, linked SPaG questions, definitions, etc.

There are 5 weeks of Vocabulary flip charts in this bundle. Each flipchart was made by me, and contains the following sequence: Look at the word, discuss what it means, visual image of the word, meaning, sentences, contextualised sentence, activity (often SPaG linked). There are 5 words per week for the children to learn.

This was planned for a Y5 class and has a Reasoning Focus. The flipchart goes through different hundred squares and which FDP are shown. Children have to explain whether they are correct or incorrect and explain why. The independent activity starts with a Fluency question (Draw a hundred square into your books and colour 50% in blue, 1/10 in red, etc), then moves onto Reasoning. There is a Problem Solving question for the Secure (S) group. S = Secure = HA D = Developing = MA E = Emerging = LA Differentiation by task. The flipchart also contains Reasoning Sentence Starters and some slides specifically for the Secure groups (called Teal table in my class), as these move away from just 'hundred' squares onto squares of different sizes. (60cm squared, 80 cm squared). Good for Maths talking and discussion and to show what children know about percentages and about equivalent FDP. You could change the names on the worksheets to teachers/students in your class.

Includes a full unit of work on The Scarlet Ibis and a selection of WAGOLLs used throughout the unit.

These are a selection of Activ Flipcharts which are used for Vocabulary lessons in my school. There are 5 words for each week, and for each word, there is an image, contextualised sentences, sentences that link to the children's lives (these may need changing for your children) and a question/discussion/SPaG test question at the end. I use these every week to help the children learn more vocabulary. They are working really well! NB: Apologies that the flip charts only start at Week 2! Browse my resources to see an example Vocabulary flipchart freebie :)

This is a free flipchart to show what my paid resource looks like.

These resources give you an idea as to which vocabulary words are featured in my Year 5 Vocabulary Flipcharts. This resource is free, allowing you to see whether the flip charts would work for you. NB: Some of the words may have been changed this year, so these may not be exact, but will give you an idea.

This is older planning based on the Year 5 curriculum. Contains planning and resources made by me.
