@bobseberry
Your best bet is to go to the main resources section here:
http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resources/
Then look for the dark blue box and specify your school type: "Primary" in your case?
Do the same on the next page - look for the dark blue box and specify further: maybe "KS2 - English"
Continue with this method on the next page, maybe "narrative texts".
Hope that info helps you find the kind of thing you're looking for :-D

I thought I saw a website link for very quick lesson plans and now I can't seem to find it. Where might it have gone? Did I see it elsewhere?
Thanks

The website is very difficult to negotiate. I can't find the resource which looked so promising on an email flyer. In fact, I can never find what I'm looking for

What a shame that the search box rarely seems to work. All those wonderful resources but no easy way to find what you want without trawling through hundreds of pages!

I am looking for a placemat with info that helps students writing full and meaningful sentences. It has common spelling mistakes, connectives etc.
I fiest spotted it when it was one of the resources sent by email. It had lots of formats so you could choose how busy you wanted the appearance. It is so frustrating when you cannot find resources.
