This pack is aimed at 11-13 year olds on the theme of Christmas. It contains material for use with special needs students.

There is work covering adjectives, adverbs and connectives. An explanation and examples of the grammar are given, with exercises and cloze to assess understanding. Writing frameworks, and writing ideas, for discursive and imaginative writing (the latter with a word bank) are there as is work on improving simple sentences so that a high quality paragraph is produced. Also included are poetry, an extract with a cloze exercise, seasonal greetings in other languages, and a sheet on which there are spellings with silent letters and suggestions as to how they can be used. Research ideas into Christmas characters, legends and customs, with a presentation framework, are formulated as well.

With clear links to basic skills, but also the National strategies for Literacy and Teaching and Learning, these sheets provide a useful bank of materials to meet the needs of special needs students.
