A revision tool for studying the poems Cousin Kate and Valentine. Useful to stick in pupil books, display on the wall and to use as a lesson resource. My pupils have found this very useful.

A couple of lessons I made linked to the picture book Journey. Pupils really enjoyed this and I also linked it to the trailer on YouTube.

A different way to engage pupils for work on autobiographies. Pupils can start with filling in the iPad, which can then lead to further extended writing. Pupils can then make a list with pictures in the bucket, then write about one of these adventures coming true. Then pupils can write an acrostic poem. A few lessons to get to know pupils.

Used for an English module on Criminal Minds. Pupils use their imagination to pretend they are a prisoner in Alcatraz at night. They then write a poem based on senses and other feelings. Differentiation is included with sentence starters and word mats for the senses, and for other feelings with pictures. Please comment.

A lesson for between levels 2 to 5.

I used this to show pupils how much they have improved and come on since starting High School. I started the year making paper chains with their strengths. After they completed this they added to it and their confidence improved massively! Please comment.

The pupils absolutely loved this last year so I thought I would share. You can get more into the theme by getting them to wear Elf hats. I am going to try that this year! Can be adapted for higher levels. Please comment. Thank you.
