Hi there, Here's some of this week's planning for play scripts. It's an often forgotten text type, but is helpful for many reasons. I used this blank iphone template for children to separate who is saying what in a piece of text in order to prep them for writing a play script this week. I hope it works for you! Miss Ritchie

Hi there, There are three resources in this pack. There's a background assembly powerpoint to create a backdrop (including links to sound effects etc), the lyrics to a version of 'Gold' by Spandeau Ballet with the lyric changed to 'STONE!' (much comedy), and the script. On the script document, there's also a helpful table to write down who's who.

Help your children to improve their descriptions and narratives by using these colour vocabulary sheets in your literacy lessons or on display. They equip pupils with exciting words for ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘green’ and everything in between! I have been using these colour thesauruses as part of a Writing Toolkit (coming soon!) that I give to my class at the start of the school year. After modelling how to use them in writing, the children then independently use stronger, more effective colour descriptives when describing settings or characters- I even see them cropping up in their speech! BOTH SPELLINGS OF COLOR/COLOUR INCLUDED! Included in this download: A display poster and pocket-sized version of the color vocabulary grid PDF versions of the resources .docx Word versions of the resources for editing purposes 2 fonts to edit your resources with UK/AU/NZ/CA version using ‘colour’ spelling Looking for the full Writing Toolkit?

It’s a week long, and all of the planning, resources, evaluations, examples, success criteria and word banks are provided!

This pack includes 4 activities. The main activity has three tasks that involve classifying words into 1 of 7 categories. This opens up for lots of conversation and debate, which is a great basis for a lesson. The other three activities are mazes where children must get from the top row of the word-table to the the bottom by linking words of that type. I hope this proves helpful! Miss Austin
