A 14 week plan based on ‘Street Child’ by Berlie Doherty. This unit covers story writing, recounts and reports. I have used Pie COrbett’s Jumpstart series as starter and enrichment activities.

This is a Y 4/5/6 week unit on story writing. I have tried to break it down intio all the key skills and concepts neede to write a great story so there is a lot of modelling and guided writing initially before the children write more independently. There are some great links to youtube videos in week 3 and 4 and I have made great use of Alan Peat’s approach to exciting writing. I hope this is useful.

Inspired by the Mission to Mars Speaking and Listening activity, I have collated lots of other fantastic things I found on the Web - thanks to brilliant resources from others I have just put it all together. There are still a few resources to add.

A visual jobs list with space for children's names. Everyone has the opportunity to help keep the classroom running smoothly.

I am using this PowerPoint to revise/teach certain grammar points to my Y6 class in the run-up to SATs. It is still a work in progress and I have used ideas from many other sources ( so thank you). I am no computer wizz so I am sure someone out there can make it look a lot prettier - I hope it is useful, however.

I have created a Notebook file which covers most of the necessary skills to do well on the KS2 mental maths test. I will use these as a short starter each day to develop and reinforce skills. They are not exhaustive but hopefully useful.

I found an amazing set of old photos on Twitter so put them on a |Notebook file. Could be used for all sorts of discussion.
