The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates
by Jenny PearsonWINNER OF THE 2022 BEST LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK FOR 9-13-YEAR-OLDS The super funny, heart-warming adventure of three boys, one summer holiday, and a few miracles along the way, from breakout talent, Jenny Pearson, illustrated by award-winning Rob Biddulph. Freddie Yates likes facts. Just not the one staring him in the face - that his secret plan is not, in fact, secret. Because Freddie's journey wasn't meant to involve Big Trev and the onion-eating competition or the loo-exploding pear-and-potato turnovers. And Freddie definitely didn't expect to end up, with his two best friends, on national television in a supergirl costume. But journeys never take you where you think they will. And for Freddie, that fact might just have to be enough...

Cracking Creative Writing in KS2: 100+ Activities To Improve Key Stage 2 Children's Writing Confidence
by David Horner100+ activities to inspire Key Stage 2 children to write creatively and independently: to be in charge of their own creative writing process. Writing doesnʼt have to be a chore – slow and uninviting. It can be a source of pleasure and success and, above all, quick! This book is the proof! The book contains 100+ tried and tested activities which will inspire Key Stage 2 children to write creatively. Each sheet begins with a worked example showing the kind of finished piece being aimed at. Then step-by-step instructions explain what young writers need to do to create their own piece of writing that they can be proud of. The aim throughout is for the writer to be independent and in charge of their own writing, not the other way round. The activities take between 30 and 60 minutes each to complete and cover a great range of writing-related features and terms as well as some creative routes into the trickier aspects of the National Curriculum grammar requirements. The ideas here cover a great range of writing-related features and terms as well as some creative routes into those trickier aspects of English grammar and punctuation. Some are straightforward, others more demanding. Rather than using decontextualized exercises, these activities invite young writers to explore the language. The children’s own creative writing becomes the context for their playing with, and thus learning about, the language – how it works, its rules, its possibilities – and crucially therefore, what they can do with it. These are not ‘free’ writing activities; each has its specific challenges, constraints and formal game plan. If a child could benefit from using, say, a dictionary or thesaurus for a particular idea, then they are told this at the outset. ‘Writing is the greatest human invention.’ – Professor Brian Cox Writing matters. It matters to teachers, and it certainly matters to children – they want to be able to do it, and be good at it. As teachers, we want children to write successfully and also enjoy the activity itself. Perhaps even find it fun.
Daily Sentence Structures: 15 Minutes A Day Towards Better Writing!
by Alec LeesDaily Sentence Structures (2nd edition) has become a best seller amongst primary teachers. By the end of primary school, pupils are expected to be able to write using varied sentence structures. This practical guide provides a straightforward way of teaching pupils to use a range of sentence structures in their own writing, whatever their ability. The sentence structures taught vary from short, dramatic sentences to complex, compound sentences. Compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions are included as well as subordinating complex sentences using subordinating conjunctions. Each has been broken down into a series of 15-minute sessions that build on each other. By completing the daily sessions, pupils will have at their fingertips a system for creating imaginative and interesting writing in as little as six weeks. The Daily Sentence Structures approach raises attainment across all abilities and covers many of the writing requirements of the National Curriculum: • Use grammatical structures • Make meaning clear and create effect • Use a range of sentence starters to create specific effects • Use commas to mark phrases and clauses • Sustain and develop ideas logically • Vary sentence structures • Use semi-colons and dashes Furthermore, the systematic approach appeals especially to boys, who will enjoy applying the logic to their writing and being able to create ‘instant paragraphs’. All pupils’ confidence and self-esteem will increase, leading to better results across all subjects.
