What a fantastic resource! Wanting to inspire, uplife and motivate my pupils each day I prepared this PPT file which contains 190 inspirational quote. They are taken from a huge number of sources and will inspire and motivate you and your pupils alike! With 190 examples this should cover every day of the school year :) Enjoy, it took quite a while to prepare!!

This is a gem of a resource. This lesson pack contains your lesson plan, a Smartboard for use, visual help sheets for LA children, peer work, differentiated worksheets, a video stimulus and a WAGOLL for a lesson which I have used in observations and for Ofsted at least twice receiving an outstanding grade (in old money)… The lesson asks children to practice applying appealing adjectives and then to promote an underwater diving experience creating their own posters (differentiated). It can be easily upgraed (as I have done) to include/ interweave relative clauses and other grammar skills quite for those more able pupils. It is open ended giving all children the chance for great success against the LO/ success criteria (also contained within!).

This file contains 10 simple independent writing lessons on Smart Notebook files. They comprise a range of genres including newspapers, letter writing, discussion text, biography, narrative, persuasive writing & setting description. There are a series of warm up/ sentence structure activities for each lesson and including writing time are fully planned/ prepped for between 1hr and 1hr 15minutes each! I combine these with a simple planning sheet to help my pupils organise their ideas and usually scaffold the children by allowing them to do this in HA-LA pairs where possible. There are more examples of this type of writing activity to follow in the Elliott’s Tutoring online shop.

Great as an independent revision tool for pupils, this resource contains both the spelling lists for Yr3-6 and all the correct SPaG terminology, definitions and examples needed in upper KS2 in a glossary/ dictionary style. I copy this each year for each pupil in my class as an A5 booklet to use independently to revise/ remind themselves of terminology.
