I created a series of questions based on Charlie and the Chocolate factory. e follow VIPERS skills in our school so I linked them all to that. They were very successful in my year 4 and 5 classes. Any questions- please ask.

During moderation, using HYPHENS was one area of writing most of my children always found hard to ‘tick off’. So to help them I compiled this hyphenated word bank. I left a space in each letter so they could add words of their own to it. But having them in front of them has definitely helped them to get hyphenated words in to their writing more. Some of them had to be explained to them for meaning, but now they love trying to fit some of the more unusual ones in to their writing. They also add words from their reading books to the list. I found this very useful as there isn’t much on hyphens out there to help us teachers! Enjoy!

I did a 2-3 week unit on the book ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ by Phillip Pullman. I can’t find my planning- but here are the notebook files I made in case they are useful to anyone else.

These grids I made as English Coordinator for children to stick in the front of their book and use to assess their writing. They have been very successful. Pack includes : Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Greater Depth The resources are colourful and contain examples. They have helped us to embed grammar throughout the school and writing has improved throughout.

I am sharing a unit of work I made based on 'You're a Bad Man Mr Gum' by Andy Stanton. My Year 3s loved this and said it was their favourite work they did all year. I have included loads of Notebook Files. 5 weeks worth of planning, pictures, activities, a who wants to be a millionaire game based on the book that I made and loads of self assessment checklists. Adapt as needed and enjoy!

I created a series of plot points and learning chunks in the style of The Write Stuff to get my children to write their own story. They loved it and had great stories from it. I have just put everything I made and used in this pack Any questions, please ask
