<p>Reading: predictions and inferences covered, looking at word meanings, comprehension also inlcuded.<br /> Writing: setting, character descriptions covered. Sea shanties covered, with opportunity for children to write their own. We wrote a book review, but the template was from twinkl. Ful and ly words covered.</p>

<p>Year 5 based whole lesson task: children receive a letter explaining how to complete the task and there is a presentation to go alongside this. Children must choose animals based on their budget and choose food stalls and ‘extras’ such as toilets, trains etc. Children then draw their petting farm based on the area and perimeters that have been given - ensuring that they all fit in their petting farm! Based on the ideas around Rollercoaster Tycoon. Should cover addition and subtraction objectives, as well as area and perimeter and other measurement objectives.</p>

<p>Reading: comprehension, ordering and sequencing.</p> <p>Writing: character descriptions (SPAG exp noun phrases) and story writing - retelling the story.</p> <p>From this we then looked at the pirate cruncher (planning also available).</p>

Presentation used to support the lesson. Children work in pairs and read the letter to receive a brief of what to create in the Jurassic Park. Children select their dinosaurs, food stalls and extras by using column addition and subtraction to stay within their budget. Then using area and perimeter clues, children must structure their Jurassic Park by drawing the theme park - making sure everything can fit that they have bought. Uses logic skills, problem solving and reasoning and measurement. Extension activity idea included.

Presentation used to lead the lesson, it includes 'text messages' from a zookeeper who is struggling to run his zoo. He needs help to arrange the animals, so the children need to plan on A3 paper where the animals are going to go, by cracking the area and perimeter codes and draw them to scale. Then some animals escape and the fence must be rebuilt - children have to work out the cost. Then the times for the animals feeding has gotten mixed up, so the children must work out when the animals are being fed and in what order. Uses knoweldge of area and perimeter, measurement in length and times. Answers are included.

Children work in pairs; give them the letter to look at the requirements for designing a theme park. Children pick which rollercoasters they are going to use, then which foodstalls. This is using their budget of £20,000. Then on A3 paper, they use area and perimeter problem solving and reasoning to draw the theme park to scale. <br /> Extension: to create a timetable for a Year 5 class to come to the theme park. <br /> <br /> Uses: problem solving and reasoning, working with money, column addition and subtraction, area and perimeter, height and weight measurements.

2 lessons with activities included, graded as an outstanding lesson. <br /> Presentation 1: describing eye colour and hair colour and style. Games and activities included, including gap fills and matching tasks. Using audio in the presentation and using SPaG elements.<br /> Presentation 2: recap of presentation 1, then introducing height and weight. Activity at the end to recap all presentation 1` and 2. <br /> Images are not my own. Ideas for activities taken from various websites.

Presentations to lead the lesson with whiteboards. Codebreaking activties that can be adapted. First lesson on reflection and coordinates, second is an introduction to translation and third lesson is used for codebreaking. I use Target Maths as my activities for the independent activties in my lessons - so other worksheets may be needed.

SPaG bundle - over a week of SPaG lessons with activities included in the powerpoints. Including adverbs of degree and manner, direct speech and reported speech, relative clauses and prepositions. <br /> <br /> Activites include making your own iphone text messages, whiteboard activities, games and competitions.<br /> <br /> Ideas for lessons are not my own.
