Each activity has a title slide, a whole class activity or teach section and an independent task which may involve a group discussion or independent writing.

As part of our Wind in the Willows topic we looked at adding the plurals s and es. I cut up items of food and hid them around the classroom to find, saying that Ratty had lost the food from his picnic. I then told the children that Ratty wanted to have a picnic with his friends but he needed a shopping list of what to get. We received a letter from Ratty who explained the rules and watched a video on plurals and recapped. The children were to use their word mat (with pictures) to write a list of how many of each thing they needed. LA children needed to add s or es to words on their sheet. MA had words where no change to the root word was needed e.g. sandwich- 4 sandwiches. I threw in jelly for the HA and we had a chat about changing the y to an i before adding es. There was then a challenge on the board for children to complete. The children wrote their list on notepad paper.

A generation game type powerpoint create to encourage children to think about the alternative /ai/ spellings. This lesson followed our investigation of the different /ai/ spellings.
