After looking at what an onomatopoeia was I got the students to sort the words to see if they had understood.

A postcard to fill in and add a picture to. I used it for the Christmas Truce to send a postcard home as a soldier. Can easily be adapted for other uses.

A sheet for Dragons Den style pitch presentation to ask for money to start a business. Boxes to add notes and assign roles for different stages of the presentation.

Cards that students can use for daily spelling practice. Ideas I have picked up through the years, 19 different activities.

I like to use online Scavenger Hunts to check a range of skills; reading and comprehension, finding information online and recording. This one is for British Wildlife and includes answers.

Whilst watching students can fill in the basic information on the sheet and feedback at the end.

I stick this in their books alongside their non-fiction work to check what they have included.

This worksheet has stills from the Literacy Shed film 'The Planets'. There is a space next to each still for students to record their thoughts. I used the sheet for them to record descriptive words for each planet that they could use in a piece of descriptive writing.
