This is a PowerPoint presentation I made to teach the past participle. It includes the past participle (past perfect, present perfect), using the past participle as an adjective, as well as revision on the simple past (regular and irregular), types of adjectives (OSASCOMP), simple, compound and complex sentence practice. There are teaching slides and student tasks included. I hope it is helpful!

This is a back to school/New school year activity to promote talk and collaboration. The aim is that students go around and talk to other members of the class in order to find someone to fit each category. There are 2 differentiated versions - both editable.

A cut and paste activity to reinforce features of an advert in persuasive text units. Designed for LA Year 3 children. Children paste the examples under the subheadings and then write in some examples of their own (could be provided by the teacher)

These resources ca be used to support the teaching of personification in poetry. I used these resources with a Year 3 class however they could be used up to Year 5.

This is a worksheet designed for year 3/4 when teaching explanatory texts. Each page has a different picture for the children to use, they will both describe what can be seen and explain what is happening in the picture. Resource can be used at any point in the unit.

Children generate adjectives, similes and metaphors from a range of picture prompts. Resource can be used as a follow up to whole class teaching. I used these as part of a poetry unit in Year 3.

Grammar challenge! Can children fill the table with nouns, verbs and adjectives for each letter of the alphabet? A great activity for group or pair work to support understanding of parts of speech. I used this with Grade 3 but could be used up to Grade/Year 5

A Word version of the publisher file

2 differentiated informal letters for the children to cut out, sort and stick into the correct format. Great revision or initial assessment of understanding.

Here are some sample end of year report comments to be used with a year 3 class (could be easily adapted up or down). The comments cover reading, writing, speaking and listening and are differentiated. Enjoy resting your brain!
