Hi All!
At the private school that I work at, we do Writing Portfolios to assess the children’s English skills 3 times a year.
Each time we do one, we have a stimulus presentation and we all use the same planning sheet.
This can be used from years 3-6 and is differentiated accordingly.
There’re 2 different planning sheets to suit different abilities and to ensure the planning aspect is standardised across the school.
Enjoy!
Hi there,
I used this lesson as a 35 minute interview lesson, but the resources are easily editable to make use of them for a longer lesson time.
LO: To use subordinate clauses.
Two activities. Resources included!

Hi there!
At my school, the children’s homework generally all leads toward a final goal of creating a book or portfolio. I find these homeworks are great to incite excitement in a topic, to embed organisational skills and very fun to mark!
Hi there!
This is a 7-week homework project that I use for my year 5 English class.
The children absolutely love it because it allows for creative freedom and using art skills in English homeworks.
I find projects work much better in getting children hooked on a topic and, consequently, there work is so much more interesting and impressive.
This project’s about a theft that has occurred in Harcourt Manor- they need to become detectives to work out who the thief was…
Here’s a resource for locating similes, metaphors and personification in context. Children have to underline in different colours to show they can find each type! Differentiated three ways.

I hope this helps. Any questions, shoot them my way.

Hello, fellow teachers!
Here’s a pack of resources for teaching past and present tenses using simple and progressive forms.
There is a differentiated resource for converting between them, including challenges and extensions.
There is also a powerpoint presentation for inputting the lesson!
Hello Fellow Teachers,
Here is an apocalypse adventure-themed, home learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school- it’s perfect for distance learning due to the tasks being able to be completed independently. This resource spreads across 6 tasks (could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour-long each. The tasks included follow these learning objectives:
LO: To write dystopian narrative
LO: To write anon-chronological research report
LO: To write a fictional recount
LO: To write an instruction text
LO: To use non-verbal communication to portray character emotion
LO: To write in 3rd person, past tense
This task would work great for high-ability KS2 (Key Stage 2) or Key Stage 3 (KS3) children.
I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.
If you’re looking for other home-learning projects, here are links to the other resources I’ve put together for my KS2 children.
