If you look to the free resource I have posted (the Powerpoints) you can find the activities the children will be doing daily. As I have used a Twinkl background I have posted the Powerpoints as a free resources but all of the work found on here is my own. Each week the children will complete: -one fun activity such as drawing something based on the text or completing a comic strip etc - handwriting activity where they copy part of the text into their handwriting books. -guided reading with the teacher (you can use the GR prompt questions sheets to record not on for this bit) -answering 3 comprehension questions in their book. -highlighting/underlining or drawing out information from the passage such as GaPS work.

Using the Book Arthur of Albion by John Matthews and Pavel Tatarnikov. This is the planning I have made, using the book above. It has many different text types including: Retelling of a story Newspaper report Instructions Non-chronological report. There is about 5 weeks work here. I hope it comes in handy. PS I only have differentiation for two groups as my BA group get taken out every morning.

I made these for my Year 3 class last year. They are set out in the QCA format so that children got used to planning in tht style. They do not replicate any questions but were based on the writing style we were doing for that week. There is one letter, a couple of fairy tale character sketches and an alient adventure story. I sent these out as literacy homework tasks. (I would photocopy the two pages to make one A3 sheet)

I planned this for my Year 3 and 4 children, a mix of different lesson starters or morning work tasks. Includes: positive and negative adjectives, change the adjective, concrete and abstract nouns, connectives, make a group of activity, and Odd one out - spot the verbs in the highlighted adjectives.

To go alongside my planning and preparation (which you can find in my resources section) or you can use these Powerpoints as a basis for your own planning. In this pack you will find 10 weeks of 15-20 minutes each day worth of work based on the Iron Man book by ted Hughes. Activities are run on a carousel with some that remain the same each week such as: -guided reading with the teacher -handwriting practise -comprehension questions Other activities change each week -fun game, activity or picture to draw -a GaPS activity based on a passage from the book. (In Presentation number one you will notice a hidden feature, see if you can find it) clue: you will need to press F5 first! background from Twinkl but all my own resource. thanks
