I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
I recommend that you first model the activities to the class and then let the children explore.

Key Stage 1 National Curriculum Criteria and statutory Requirements.
By asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways
observing closely, using simple equipment
performing simple tests
identifying and classifying
using their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions
gathering and recording data to help in answering questions.
‘Working scientifically’ is described separately in the programme of study, but must always
be taught through and clearly related to the teaching of substantive science content in the
programme of study.

I have compiled the list of National Curriculum Spellings for Years 3 and 4 and created a bank of short spelling sessions. This resource is designed to encourage children to understand the origin of spellings and help create meaning for spelling sessions. Each spelling has at least two slides/pages and I have defined, explored and used fun facts to make spelling more memorable. Some spellings come with a short jotter task.
This is Term 1
I have broken them down into terms which should ensure that the word list is covered over the year. The resource is alphabetical and covers spellings A-C. I have created this resource in PDF and Activ Inspire Format.
