Simply edit the names and then print these cards off onto coloured paper of your choice and display as desired. This is a great way to monitor what your children are reading and for them to see which books each other are reading too. I will get the children to stick new post-it notes on top of old ones which will then create a reading-log in itself. Both myself and my TA’s have a card too as we want to join in the fun and the kids love seeing which books we’re reading!

For World Book Day, our school are completing a whole school project of completing a collection of book reviews. Each child will choose their favourite book and will complete an A4 page review. We will be using this PDF as inspiration for the children to give them ideas and to set a standard. This poster also includes ideas for what they could/should include in their review.
We’re so excited to put the reviews into a book and to display it in our school library!
An annual reading tracker to be completed by anyone to track the books read over the year. Simply colour in a book from the stack from the current month and colour it in and label it to look like the spine of the book you’ve just read. A great way to remember the books you’ve enjoyed over time and a great reward strategy for less enthusiastic readers! Enjoy :)
48 matching prefix cards. 24 of the cards have prefixes on and the other 24 have the root words which can be matched with them. All words/prefixes are taken from the National Curriculum statutory spelling requirements for years 3/4.
Prefixes included are:
Un-
Dis-
Inter-
Auto-
Mis-
Super-
Sub-

Each child receives a loyalty card with their name on and their own personalised target for their weekly spelling tests e.g. ‘to get at least 10 spellings correct,’ ‘to get full marks.’ (There is an allocated section on the card where each child’s target can be written.)Each time the child then meets their target they can add a sticker to their honeycomb collection on the reverse side of the card. Once they’ve received 6 stickers they receive a prize. (I have a box of small prizes including pencils, rubbers, stickers etc).
Whilst the resource motivates children to succeed on their spelling test it also recognises the range of needs in each class and the need for differentiation regarding the words set and their targets.
A great reward! My class are extremely driven by it.
This worksheet teaches that an adverb is a word that describes a verb, adjective or another adverb. It has a clear visual which teaches that there are 5 different types of adverbs: time (when?), place (where?), manner (how?), frequency (how often?) and degree (how much?)
This worksheet has a range of sentences (written in cursive joined handwriting). The worksheet explains that the child needs to underline the adverb and tick whether it is a verb of time, place, manner, frequency or degree.
My class really enjoyed this resource and understood it well.
Children must go on a word hunt (around the classroom or in reading books) to find contractions. They must sort the contractions they find in this grid based on the second word.
An engaging and interactive teaching Powerpoint which teaches expanded noun phrases, gives a range of examples and provides many opportunities for the children to consolidate their learning, including:
3 interactive whole class discussions/activities
Paired game where they consolidate their learning
Independent writing activity
A fantastic and engaging game that my class love.
Simply give each child a card and get them to walk around the classroom. When they meet another child, they should high five them and say, “Quiz, quiz, trade.” Each child then asks the other child their question, when they both give the correct answers, they can trade cards and then continue to move around until they meet somebody else. If a child gets the answer one, a child can help support them by prompting/giving clues as they have the correct answer on their card.
My class absolutely love this game and don’t realise just how much they’re learning when they play it!
