After hours of searching for differentiated worksheets for children in Year 3 to plan an informal letter in role of a character, I ended up making my own. The worksheets are all differentiated for HA, MA, LA and SEN and have differentiated Success Criteria at the top of the worksheet. HA have to include; Feelings, questions, contractions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. MA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. LA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. For this group the Address was already written. SEN have to include; Feelings as well as plan some the key features, including a main paragraph. I hope this saves you lots of time!

This is a simple timeline for children to complete. The first timeline has 5 boxes to complete and the second has six boes to complete. It can be sued for history, maths, ordering routines, stories etc! I have used it for PSHE to order the changes of the children (photos) over the last 5 years! Looks great in their books. This can be easily edited and will save time!

This is a letter template to the three bears from Goldilocks. It is differentiated three times (HA/MA/LA) and includes a key vocabulary list for the chn to use when writing. Will save time and easy to edit!

This is a worksheet where the children have to rewrite the story of David and Goliath (short, picking out the main details of the story). The worksheets are differentiated for LA and MA. I gave the HA the MA worksheet and extended them by asking them deeper thinking questions in their learning journals. At the end of the worksheet there is a question for LA - asking them what they liked about the story and why. The question at the end for the MA was asking them what they found inspiring about the story and why. As a whole class we practiced writing a summary of the story together, but you can use this to edit and make even better with your children! Will save time!

This is a newspaper report ready for the Year three class to complete. We have read the story 'Stone Girl Bone Girl' and we have studied features of newspaper reports, identifying them in real newspapers and other newspaper report texts using highlighters. It is now time for the chn to write their own, based on Mary Anning finding the sea monster fossil. For the more able group I have left this blank - they have to include a catchy heading, by line, strapline, quotes, paragraphs, caption for the photo etc. Then I have differentiated the other groups where some have to think of the strapline / introduction, some have the strapline given, some have the heading given and some have to think of it themselves etc. All worksheets have a photo of the fossil on there. Easy to edit and will save heaps of time! The title of your newspaper will have to be changed as I have done this one to suit our school.

This is a short informal letter for you to get the chn to either independently or in groups (blown up to A3) to highlight and annotate the key features. Can easily be edited :) LO & Success Criteria included at top of worksheet for chn to read and refer to.

This includes the success criteria for the lesson. There are 8 simple sentences for the Year two children, common exception words are highlighted in yellow. There are 5 simple sentences for the children working at year 1 level - again year 1 common exception words are highlighted in yellow. You could even copy the Success Criteria table onto another sheet and cut out and stick into their books which will make it easier to mark!

This is a really handy resource I use in Year One. During guided reading sessions, several of my groups will read their guided reading books independently and then work through these questions. The worksheet can also be edited to differentiate questions. It is a great way of demonstrating to the children how to answer questions using a full sentence.

This is a slide which introduces the LO; To write a powerful description. It is all based on writing a powerful description on the topic of a forest. There are various photographs of forests that the chn can 'think, pair and share' on what they see, hear, feel etc. The photographs can then be annotated. There is a forest description already written that can be read and discussed with the class, and then finally the Success criteria is shown to discuss with the chn how they will be successful. Will save time I'm sure!

The topic web includes Learning objectives on; Extended writing - Writing instructions Grammar PSHE - Empathy training RE - Jesus growing up PE - Gym ICT DT - making tabbed outfits or a teddy Art and Design - weaving History - clothes present and past Music Science - everyday materials

This week we have begun to introduce Reciprocal Reading to Y3. For the first session we did it as a whole class. First I handed out the picture that went with the story. We discussed it and came up with words which described the pictures and then predicted what the story was about. Next we clarified any unknown words / phrases, encouraging the chn to ask questions to each other and then I gave them three question, a looking one (retrieval) and clue (inference) and then a thinking question - their opinion. Finally we summarised the passage using the key points. The children loved this passage - it can be found online - COLD AS CLAY (from a book full of short scary stories) and the photo was of two people on a horse.

These are two acrostic poem templates for 'TIGERS' HA and MA/LA They look great in the children's books and are very eye-catching to keep the children focused.

This is a slide I made when I ask the children in Year 1 to plan their own story. This can also be used/edited for Year 2. It works through the characters, settings, title, objects, beginning; middle and end of a story and then there is a planning sheet page, where you and the class can plan a story together. The success criteria are also included in the slide and a question at the end asking the chn to explain what they have learned today!
