This is a 2 week cycle that leads up to a child’s independent write of a setting description of Narnia. Week 1 consists of a WAGOLL, a comparison of setting descriptions where children can form their own style that they want to emulate, speaking and listening opportunities as well as links to visual literacy. Each lesson has a quick SPaG or spelling activity as we near to SATs to continue our practice. Week 2 reviews speech and how it is punctuated, relative clauses, figurative language, adverbials and layered planning. All resources come with the download and the ppt has notes to help with the understanding of the lesson.

This is week 1 of a diary entry based on Leon and the Place Between. It has a WAGOLL and ideas for how to embed vocabulary and skills. The chn will take part in a ‘hook’ lesson discovering how to do magic tricks and discuss this verbally to prepare them for a written version of a diary.

A Stone Age Boy inspired 3 week Talk for Writing resource. Includes WAGOLL and PowerPoint slides which have notes on how to differentiate and stretch chn in the class.

Embedding the text into the children’s long term memory so that when it is time, they can retrieve this information and apply the skills to their own work. A fun and interactive learning week that gives the building blocks for future learning. The grammar skills focus are coordinating conjunctions, with the FANBOYS broken down into their uses, prepositions and lots of chance for AfL and self and peer reflection. All tasks in week 2 link to the work undertaken in week 1. There may be some resources to make but all ideas are on the slides to structure. Week 3 breaks down the planning and writing that will be undertaken by the chn whilst giving them ownership of how they want to communicate.
