Following a number of pupils consistently forgetting capital letters and full stops, I have created a superhero themed grammar card! Based around The Avengers, the grammar cards can be used in a variety of different ways. If a pupil consistently uses capital letters and full stops in a lesson, they are awarded a tick on their card, which I stick in the front of their book. For every five ticks, the pupil receives a reward. However, due to the simple design, these cards could be used for more complex examples of punctuation, or working against a success criteria. I have uploaded the report cards in Word format - if you have the font 'Bebas', you can easily edit the text. For example, I have created a similar resource for pupils that need a little extra encouragement with their behaviour! If you do not have the font, I have also provided a jpg example in the same document. Any feedback is greatly received and I hope you enjoy using this resource!

I have created a booklet/resource pack to support persuasive writing! Based around chocolate bars, pupils must design their own chocolate bar, logo and slogan, as well as the supporting advertising campaign. I have used this resource in the past for pupils to work independently, as well as in small groups. We finished the week with having a Dragon's Den style session, where everybody voted for their favourite, most persuasive sales pitch! Any feedback is welcomed and I hope you and your pupils enjoy using this resource.

Following a series of whole school SPAG-related crimes, I have created an assembly PowerPoint to encourage pupils to look out for common spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes! This assembly comes with notes to guide through each of the slides, as well as animations and pictures to represent each SPAG error. Following the assembly, I invited pupils to look out for SPAG errors in the wider community, where they were encouraged to email pictures or videos of mistakes that they had found. To bring together the evidence, we produced a large crime scene display board in school to celebrate pupils' achievements. This assembly has brought the school together, drawn attention to frequent spelling, punctuation and grammar errors, and even brought a little competitive edge between pupils (and staff!) Any feedback is greatly received and I hope you enjoy using this resource!

This is a great way for pupils to investigate different prefixes, developing dictionary skills and building a range of vocabulary. Pupils to add the prefix and root word together to create a new word, then find its definition using their own knowledge or a dictionary. Following this investigation, pupils to conclude how the prefix changes the meaning of the word. Any feedback is welcome and I hope you and your class enjoy this activity.

A set of 14 matching cards for pupils to choose the correct word ending. I have used this resource on a number of occasions, either in independent SPAG lessons or as lesson starters. I print these onto thick card and they have lasted well! Any feedback is greatly received and I hope you enjoy using this resource.

ADD SPICE to pupils' writing by using these clear, informative posters! Working in Years 5 and 6, I noticed that many children lacked variation or creativity in their sentence openers, often leading to repetitive pieces of writing. I decided to make these simple posters to give pupils a range of options to support their writing, and I have noticed a significant difference in how pupils approach writing tasks. There is now a variation to sentence openers, with pupils opting for more complex vocabulary. I use these posters above my Literacy working wall, however they could easily be printed much smaller to support pupils when they are working at their tables. Each poster is displayed in a South-American style (perfect if you have a topic based around this or just want something different!) with a clear heading, example sentence and different examples of the sentence opener. I have provided the eight posters in Word format so that they can be edited with any vocabulary or example sentences. So if you're in UKS2, or desperately want to stretch the writing of your Year 3 or 4 class, this is the resource for you. I hope you enjoy using this resource and I look forward to any feedback!
