I've written out three, thought provoking character portraits in 3 levels, for use primarily with Y6 and KS3 - These could be used in a whole class lesson or as a homework activity, as the texts and questions are in 3 different levels... L5/6 is &'Prisoner&'; L4/5 is 'Cyril the clown&' L3/4 is &';Mr. Beecher, bad teacher'

Brilliant 'new&' character portraits for use in class lessons, such as text-marking exercises. Children can read and analyse the character portraits (descriptions) before planning / writing their own.

Three poems suitable for remembrance day activities, such as assemblies or lessons. World War I poetry and also World War II poetry

A wonderful, simple and inexpensive idea to provide your pupils, whether leaving Y6 to go to secondary school or leaving Y11 in secondary school with a personal memento of their time at your school. A great idea to show just how special they are!! And all my own idea too - all my own words - not stolen from anywhere! Years later, former pupils still mention their 'pebble&' to me, that&';s the power it holds! Many still have it on display in a special place too. Hope you like it...
