A highly-detailed and complete teaching sequence for teaching children how to write a high-quality persuasive letter.
Included are:
Two high-quality end of KS2 standard persuasive letters to use as an example and reference.
A Planning proforma.
A whole PowerPoint teaching sequence that has activities, probing questions and learning opportunities related to:
What is a persuasive letter?
Analysis of the text type.
Comparing two letters (activity included!)
The structure of a persuasive letter
Planning
Writing a high-quality introduction
Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (First person pronouns, The passive voice, Fronted adverbials, Past tense verbs, Punctuation for Parenthesis)
Writing for effect (Emotive language, sentence structure)
Editing and redrafting
Responding to feedback
Celebrating success
Designed to save you hours and raise attainment, this is an excellent resource to get the best out of your whole cohort.
This is a writing sequence that I did in the Autumn Term (7-8 weeks) with my year 6 class. The slides include lots of printable worksheets, grammar starters, word banks and sentence starters for your Lower Attaining children.
The sequence includes: -poetry writing
-diary entry
-role play/drama lesson
-letter writing
-a lesson on fronted adverbials
-lessons on setting description
-a lesson on direct speech
-planning lessons for the Big Write
-Shared Writing lessons
I taught this sequence in conjunction with the YouTube video of the book and 16 copies of the physical book. I would definitely give your class some background knowledge on refugees and why people are sometimes forced to leave their home country.

Finding the nth term or formula for sequences based on powers 1 and 2 (square)
Explain to students that the position number becomes the n in the formula.
This booklet is a comprehensive introduction to Sequencing on BandLab. It is designed to teach the basics of sequencing including: changing instrument sounds, recording, editing, using the metronome, quantizing, multi-tracking and creating drum beats.
The booklet has 22 pages and includes:
-Space for starter questions
-Introduction and setting up account
-Lesson 1: introduction to Bandlab and Recording.
-Lesson 2: Using the metronome
-Lesson 3: Multi-tracking
-Lesson 4: Drum beats
-Lesson 5&6: Assessment.
-Troubleshooting guide when logging in
-Assessment Success Criteria and Feedback sheet
-Knowledge Organiser
All of the lessons above are laid out with step-by-step guides including screenshots and explanations.
*It is worth noting that in advance of the lessons, class teachers would need to set their school up on BandLab Education and create a group for the classes. They would also need to set individual assignments on Bandlab for the students to access and submit their work on. The project will also require plenty of modelling in advance of completing the tasks too.

Start Sequencing comprises a photocopiable sheets of 2, 3 and 4-picture sequences and 5 sets of attractive, full-colour pictures. It provides essential practice in sequencing events and is excellent for improving visual perception skills. This flexible resource provides ample opportunity for language development, and can also be used for sentence work and story writing. Previously available through Easylearn.
Year 7 consists mainly of three sections: number, shape and data handling. This PowerPoint includes everything you need to teach this unit for up to 6 weeks!
This topic covers a variety of skills essential for the year 7 syllabus, and is suitable and differentiated for everyone; for mainstream students and SEN students.
Including key words, plenaries and learning objectives, this module covers:
sequences
pattern sequences
coordinates and midpoints
extending sequences
straight-line graphs
position-to-term rules
This well thought out worksheet has been structured to increase in difficulty gradually, beginning with scaffolded intro examples and building up to challenging extension questions that really get them thinking.
Under the hood
Recognising geometric sequences
Finding missing terms of geometric sequences
Nth terms of geometric sequences
Thorough, comprehensive, and carefully designed to boost confidence and grades.

These differentiated science foldable activities make learning about food chains fun!
Children can sequence plants and animals for different food chains before cutting out their templates and folding them. The finished results are ideal for an interactive science notebook or whole-class display.
There are two resources in this food chains bundle.
**Rainforest, Woodland and ocean habitat food chains **
For each habitat, there are 4 options included:
Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold.
Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.
Pupils draw their own food chain on a black and white template, cut and fold.
Pupils draw their own food chain on a pre-coloured template, cut and fold.
Food chains animal head foldouts
This resource has templates for 3 food chains (lion, grizzly bear and shark). For each one there are 3 similar options;
Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included and fold.
Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.
As above but with a simpler, straight cutting edge.
Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside (see preview video).
There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Students need coloured pencils, scissors and glue.
Room on the Broom (by Julia Donaldson) sequencing sheet allows the children to re-call and re-tell the main events of the story. I have attached a completed copy of the correct order, a copy with titles for the children to add the pictures in as well as a totally blank copy for the children to add their own captions as well.
Could be used as a cutting and sticking activity or you could attach velcro to each of the boxes and the characters for the resource to be used over and over!
All the characters / objects are attached at the end to be cut out.
This book can be used for both spoken language and work on writing. The pictures appeal to a wide age range and contain lots of interesting detail to promote discussion and description. The wide variety of sequences ranges from fairy tales and fantasy stories to everyday events. The books also contain colour versions of the pictures which can be printed and used as cards or used on an interactive whiteboard for class/group discussions etc. Another book with different pictures but the same format, More Sequencing Pictures, is also available. Previously sold through Easylearn.
A complete lesson with the 9-1 GCSE Maths specification in mind.
Activities included:
Starter:
Some recap questions on solving two-step linear equations (needed later in the lesson).
Main:
An introduction to Fibonacci sequences, followed by a quick activity where pupils extend Fibonacci sequences.
A challenging, rich task, inspired by one of TES user scottyknowles18’s excellent sequences rich tasks. Pupils try to come up with Fibonacci sequences that fit different criteria (eg that the 4th term is 10). Great for encouraging creativity and discussion.
A related follow up activity where pupils try to find missing numbers in given Fibonacci sequences, initially by trial and error, but then following some explanation, by forming and solving linear equations.
Extension - a slightly harder version of the follow up activity.
Plenary:
A look at an alternative algebraic method for finding missing numbers.
Some slides could be printed as worksheets, although it’s not strictly necessary. Answers to most tasks included, but not the open-ended rich task.
Please review if you buy as any feedback is appreciated!
This is a great game for memory and sequencing with the addition of Makaton signs.
How to play:
One child or the adult starts by saying the sentence starter such as ‘I went to the farm and saw a…’ and adds one of the objects on the sheet (cow) to complete the sentence.
The next person continues by saying the previous item (cow) and then something else (sheep).
Continue around the group/class, adding one more item to the end of the list each time.
The resource comes with 3 games in total, the shop, park and farm.
A question by question breakdown booklet of the LP1 Section A ‘The Sound of Thunder’, complete with models, stucture strips, whole-class feedback, vocabulary banks, re-draft templates, and much more!
