Can your students help catch the Easter Bunny Bandit? Turn your SPAG revision into a high-stakes investigation.
The Golden Egg has been snatched, and detectives have intercepted garbled voice-to-text messages between the Bandit and his accomplice. Can your students repair the transcripts before the trail goes cold?
This narrative-driven editing challenge is designed specifically for Year 5 and Year 6, providing rigorous practice for the KS2 SPAG paper while keeping engagement levels high.
What’s Included:
**3 Differentiated Levels of Challenge: **
Level 1: Focuses on sentence boundaries, capital letters, and commas in a list.
Level 2: Targets fronted adverbials, proper nouns, and apostrophes for contraction/possession.
Level 3: A GDS (Greater Depth) challenge focusing on the Subjunctive Mood, relative clauses, and hyphens for ambiguity.
Intelligence Briefing (Reading Inference): An optional follow-up task requiring students to “read between the lines” of the evidence to predict the Bandit’s next move. Helps develop the critical inference and deduction skills essential for Paper 1 preparation.
Full Teacher Answer Key: Professionally proofread, full-text corrected transcripts for easy marking.
