I made this document to support our year 3 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. The bold statements on the left are end of year expectations for Composition and SPAG (specifically vocabulary, punctuation and grammar). I have then broken down each bold statement into focused learning challenges on the right, which can be used as small steps for pupils to build their skills and confidence as they work towards their end of year expectations. Every teacher does not have to use every target; they can choose those appropriate to their ability groups, or use all of them as small building blocks to build up understanding.

This PowerPoint contains game boards for Connect 4. Each round - narrative (Peter Pan), Creation myths and Classical poetry (The Highwayman) contains similes, metaphors, alliteration and personification for pupils to identify and cover with the cards as they attempt to make lines of four before their opposing team. I have used the games on the whiteboard, with children moving the cards across and also as board games with laminated cards for starters and guided reading activities.

This lesson was created for a mixed ability year 5 class, focusing on using direct speech to build quotes into their newspaper articles. Pupils articles were about reporting the (fictional) theft of a Victoria Cross medal from the Imperial War Museum.

I have been building up this Powerpoint of resources while teaching spellings with my HA year 3 English class this year, but the resources can also be adapted for any year groups in KS2 of LA groups in KS3. It includes editable spelling cards that I have been using to record pupil's weekly spellings so that they can take them home to revise for our tests. The blank rows at the bottom have then been used for pupils to record any words they have been getting wrong in their own writing. The Powerpoint also includes spelling activities that we have been using, including quizzes, card sorts, domino cards and dictionary activities, to support children with their revision of key spelling rules and words. I have used these resources while following the No Nonsense Spelling scheme, but the learning challenges and activities can be used without it as they also link with the National Curriculum spelling focus for year 3.

This Powerpoint includes step by step learning challenges and task cards to support children's understanding of the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. Tasks include games, drawing activities, practical shape investigations and challenges. Slides can be scaled down to A5 (or printed 2 to a page) and then stuck into children's Maths books to give them clear instructions. I used these resources to support and challenge my MA/LA Year 5 Maths class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes resources to introduce pupils to different types of angles, supporting them to name , sort and measure them. The task sheets can be reduced to A5 or printed two to a page so that pupils can stick them in for clear instructions.

I have used these resources with my MA/LA Year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This is a simple board game to support KS2 pupils to develop the detail in their sentences. As pupils role the die and move around the board, they must edit their sentences in different ways, according to the instructions on the square they have landed on. Changes include adding adverbs, choosing more exciting verbs and creating expanded noun phrases with adjectives. Pupils can be independent players, or work together in pairs. The ppt includes an instruction card and a game board which can be enlarged and laminated.

I have used these resources with groups of Key Stage 2 pupils of lower, higher and mixed ability, but they can also be used with Key Stage 1 pupils as they begin to learn their multiplication tables. They are activity/ quiz sheets with 20 multiplication questions - 12 about a particular times table and 8 ‘bonus’ questions from other times tables. The activity sheets can be used for: Times table revision Times table tests – with children working through the different times tables each week. They could even be awarded certificates if they achieve 20/20. Differentiation for more able pupils: Timed multiplication challenges: How many times table Qs can children answer in 1min/ 2min? This is an ideal resource for Year 3 and 4 pupils working towards the future Year 4 multiplication tests!
