This is a word mat for the suffix ation. This is targeted at years 3 and 4 as it is part of the spelling curriculum. This is a useful resource for pupils to use to improve their spellings as well as a useful tool to improve their word choices and quality of their writing. It has two versions; one with colour and the other just in black and white to save on printing costs.

This is an assessment sheet I have designed which has the whole of the primary curriculum for reading. It is broken down into different domains: • Word reading • Inference • Language for effect • Comprehension – Monitor & Summarise • Comprehension – Clarify • Comprehension – Reason & Explain • Comprehension – Select & Retrieve • Themes and conventions I use this to assess the progress of pupils working below age related expectations to prove accelerated progress. At the beginning of each year you mark or highlight where they start in each domain and regularly update it throughout the year as the pupil makes progress. The next year a new teacher uses a different colour. The assessment sheet prints out best on a double sided A3 piece of paper.

Here are 3 different templates (Green, Red and Blue) for a great end of year report. It includes the following sections: • A table to record attainment and pupil's learning behaviour in that section • A section where pupil’s write what their successes have been that year • A section for pupil’s to write what they need to improve next year • Teacher’s comment • Head Teacher’s comment • 4 spaces for photographs • English comment section • English target • Maths comment section • Maths target • Topic comment section • A key for explaining the codes for attainment and also learning behaviour judgements This report prints onto an A3 double sided so it is easy to fold and present on one piece of paper. I usually save it to pdf before I print them to allow the borders to fit the page perfectly. Feedback from parents is they love the simplicity of the design.

I have made a list of abstract nouns to help pupils in my class write more interesting expanded noun phrases. There are 82 different expanded noun phrases which are split into two categories; human qualities or characteristics and showing emotions or feelings.

This is a great 2-week unit where pupils write a mini saga about a mythical creature. This requires them to really edit and refine their work as they are only allowed to use 50 words to tell the story with. I base this unit around the fantastic book; ‘The Atlas of Monsters’ by Stuart Hill & Sandra Lawrence which shows where mythical monsters come from around the world. Pupils will choose one of these mythical beasts and research them then write their myth in a challenging mini saga. This unit makes pupils in my class really consider their word choices and how best to write an engaging and effective story in such few words. I have listed the learning objectives for all of the lessons below. Also, I have included all of the worksheets, PowerPoints, links and resources you will need to teach this unit straight away. Stage 1 - Stimulate and generate- Learning outcomes • To evaluate how engaging a mythical story is • To gather information in note form • To summarise facts about a given subject • To retrieve and record information from text • To discuss words and phrases that capture the reader’s interest and imagination Stage 2 - Capture, Sift and Sort- Learning outcomes • To evaluate and edit by assessing the effectiveness of other people’s writing and suggest improvements • To identify the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph and summarise these • To write expanded noun phrases Stage 3 - Create refine evaluate- Learning outcomes • To plan and organise my ideas to effectively support my writing • To plan and organise my ideas to effectively support my writing • To publish a mini sage Stimulate and generate = This usually starts with a hook to interest the class where the class realise who they are going to write for so they have a clear purpose and audience. Activities can include reading excellent model texts, drama or researching more about the author or the content of the book. Capture, sift and sort = This is the part of the unit where pupils look at key features, practise skills they will need in order to complete the final piece or new learning for objectives they have not learnt yet. Create, refine, evaluate = This is where you bring all you have learnt together and plan the final piece before you write it and then edit it to improve the piece. This can include self, peer or teacher led reviewing.
