Guided reading questions for Year 4 children based on the 2014 curriculum reading targets. The questions are for chapter 1 and 2 of the book ‘Stig of the Dump’. The questions are differentiated by outcome as the more able have some more questions whereas the less able have less. You can edit these as you wish. The template is very easy to use on further guided reading texts. Hope it is useful.

Tried and tested Year 4 Persuasive Texts Learning Journey overview template. This template is a great way to plan a whole English learning journey and therefore can be used for many other learning journeys throughout the school year.

This is the learning journey template (Medium term plan) I used for Playscripts this year in Year 4. It worked really well and has been improved massively since the previous year. It is a guide, however I do have the weekly planning if anyone would like to see or have it. Let me know, hope it is useful.

A 2 week learning journey for journalistic writing. I use this template to map out my learning journey which I can then plan from weekly.

Evaluation template for children to use to assess their persuasive writing. I have used this and it helps children save time by giving them specific colours to find each English skill with. I adapt this template for all of my English learning journeys to enable children to look for the specific skills required for a good piece of writing. Hope it is useful.

An assessment grid to assess against Year 4 curriculum requirements for writing and SPaG. It works well with the children once they have been trained how to use it through modeling. It also contains some of the basics as I have found my children sometimes forget the non-negotiables. It can be edited for different groups within the classroom. The teacher column is a great way for children to then find out if you agree with their assessment and find out where exactly they need to improve next time. Hope it is useful.

A 2 week learning journey for Year 5 Myths and Legends. A great base to plan from if you are unsure of what to include in your learning journey.

A small variety of apostrophe worksheets I have used with my class to improve understanding of the different uses of apostrophe. It includes work on apostrophes for contraction, singular and plural possession. Hope they are useful.

Two weeks of Myths and Legends planning for Year 5 on Activ inspire flipchart ready to teach from. Also uses Kagan teaching models. Matches up to the learning journey (can be found in my shop).
