Lovely week of English work for year 5/6 - carefully planned reading sessions based on poverty of life near a river resulting in the children creating a blackout poem using the text. Uses questions around pictures, uses and teaches examples of figurative language. Discusses and teaches high level vocabulary. Finishes in the children creating blackout poetry of their own using the guided reading text. Planning frames included and editable copies of the text.

Handy little resource for UKS2. Different coloured credit card sized editing passes - I laminated them and had them on key rings in the classroom - this promote independence when checking complete pieces of writing Good for moderation to prove independent editing too Covers: Punctuation Paragraphs Sentence openers conjunctions Detail Presentation spelling and vocab Storytelling Sentences Structure
