Help your children to improve their descriptions and narratives by using these colour vocabulary sheets in your literacy lessons or on display. They equip pupils with exciting words for ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘green’ and everything in between!
I have been using these colour thesauruses as part of a Writing Toolkit (coming soon!) that I give to my class at the start of the school year. After modelling how to use them in writing, the children then independently use stronger, more effective colour descriptives when describing settings or characters- I even see them cropping up in their speech!
BOTH SPELLINGS OF COLOR/COLOUR INCLUDED!
Included in this download:
A display poster and pocket-sized version of the color vocabulary grid
PDF versions of the resources
.docx Word versions of the resources for editing purposes
2 fonts to edit your resources with
UK/AU/NZ/CA version using ‘colour’ spelling

I hope this product saves you time and stress,
Happy Teaching!

Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on How To Train Your Dragon (Book 1) by Cressida Cowell.
In this book review, children are asked to summarise the main parts of the story, give their opinion on the story as a whole, state the funniest, scariest and favorite parts, rate the story from 1-5, explain if they would recommend the book, and discuss who their favourite and least favourite characters were.
This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are.
Included in this download:
PDF version of the book review
.docx Word document version of the book review for editing purposes
‘Lost in Chalk’ font to help you edit the resource and keep the style
I hope this resource helps you to save time and save stress!
Thank you, and happy teaching!

Hi All!
Here’s a pack of resources that can be used for diary entries and descriptions of Mr Morris Lessmore (and his fantastic flying books, of course!)
There are differentiated writing frames, worksheets that’re attractive for presenting work and photos for stimuli.
Enjoy :)
This is a set of resources that I use for my year 3 and 4 group.
They are Egyptian themed so that they can link in with humanities topic.
Shape poems are a great introduction to writing in a poetic structure for children, and the shapes offered in this pack are: canopic jars, a sarcophagus and a pyramid.
I modelled the pyramid shape to the class so that my lower ability group had more input tailored to them.
LO: To write a topical shape poem
