Dear Zoo resource pack

This is a fantastic resource pack and provides you with some quality resources to support children in sequencing the story of Dear Zoo as well as to write their own letter to the zoo... Lesson 1: Children can first of all be introduced to the Dear Zoo story with the animated PowerPoint. Children can then go on to sequence the story by cutting out the story captions in their book; why not print them on to stickers and ask the children to stick the captions in the correct order. Following this children can then work with a partner to peer assess their work. Lesson 2: A lovely differentiated letter template for children to write their very own letter to the zoo.

Conjunction Tennis activity

This is a fun and engaging activity to really get children thinking about conjunctions and using them accurately to extend a sentence. Presented in Power Point format, children will be presented with a sentence that they then most complete by working together using the conjunction that has been giving. This can be completed in small groups or even as a whole class. Maybe the children could go on to set their own conjunction tennis challenge for a friend?

English Target resource pack

English Target resource pack

(0)
This is a fantastic pack to set up an effective pupil target in English. Simply print the targets onto stickers (or cut and stick) and put the appropriate target into children's book. In addition to this you can laminate these targets and attach the relevant ones to children's English book using a treasure tag. This allows an easy reference for the child and you to see what target they are working towards. It is also a great way to record progress. Simply add a sticker to the laminated target when it has been met, and once it has been met 3 times, give your child their next target to work towards. I have been using this target system for 3 years and it has been highly effective in both the Year 1 and Year 2 class I have worked in. It could easily be adapted to work across any year group however.
