Here are 20 lessons based on the book The Great Chocoplot by Chris Callaghan.
Each lesson comes with a Powerpoint and a task. Each task if based off of the reading VIPERS.
This was taught to Year 4 but can easily be taken and slightly adapted to Year 3 and 5.
Each Powerpoint follows the structure:
Talk Task (discussion question based on the book)
Vocabulary (introducing new words they may come across in today’s reading)
Focus (main reading part with a focus question)
Deepen (children asked to explain something)
Independent Activity (questions in Guided Reading books based on the VIPERS)
Exit Pass (summarising quick question)

In this unit of work you are downloading 15 lessons. Each lesson comes with a Powerpoint presentation. The number of lessons can be extended if you decide to add a ‘edit and improve’ session and a ‘publishing’ session on produced pieces of work.
This unit is inspired by the Power of Reading unit for Hot Like Fire by Valerie Bloom. The book is not needed as all resources needed from the book have been typed up and provided into the download unit.
Learning Objectives are as follows:
PART 1:
Session 1: to annotate a poem
(exploration of ‘Grandma, Bandana an’ me’ and ‘How to ask for a hamster’)
Session 2: understand language used in a poem
(translating the poem ‘De Familiar thing’ from Jamaican dialect to English)
Session 3: Understand the meaning behind words
(dramatising the poem De Bread Van’)
Session 4: Identify the difference between poetry and prose
The following sessions follow a writing cycle which allows build-up to a piece of writing/
Session 5: understand and annotate a poem (‘The People Next Door’)
Session 6: Identify and use conjunctions
Session 7: plan a responding letter (to the invite to dinner that is given to the audience in the poem ‘The people next door’)
Session 8, 9 and 10 can be a writing session, editing session and then publishing session.
PART 2:
This part of the planning unit is exploring and writing with inspiration by Valerie Bloom’s ‘The River’ poem.
Session 1: Explore a poem (The River by Valerie Bloom and then 'Life is Like a River by Patricia Walter)
Session 2: understand rhyming patterns
Session 3: Create my own rhyming poem (inspired by the river poems)
Session 4: Create a drama piece
PART 3
This part of the planning unit is about creating poems about chocolate, using the learning and inspiration that has been covered int he last two parts.
Session 1: Use onomatopoeia and alliteration
Session 2: Use rhyming couplets and expanded noun phrases
Session 3: Experience chocolate for our poems
Session 4: Plan our poems
This will then lead onto a writing session, editing and publishing session.

Some of these lessons are intended to be purely practical, working with whiteboards and physical resources/manipulatives. This is stated on the first page of each lesson on the PowerPoint.
Lessons that are designed to be in books have tasks that are easily written into books by childen or come with a ‘Fluency, Problem-solving, Reasoning’ sheet to show clear progression. These lessons are provided with a ‘next step’ to move children on even further in their learning.
Each PowerPoint follows the structure of: Revisit, Address Misconceptions, Vocabulary, Focus, Guided Practice, Talk Task, Deepen, Independent Practise, Next Steps.

I am a maths specialist and have created a unit of work based off of the NCETM spines for division. This starts with the foundations of division and leads into short method/bus stop method for division.
I have dived into a variety of high-quality resources including NCETM, White Rose and diagnostic questions. The activities and tasks have been specially designed and ordered to provide a solid understanding of division. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download.
Lesson 1: multiply and divide by 11
Lesson 2: multiply and divide by 12
Lesson 3: divide using resources (practical lesson)
Lesson 4: divide two-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 5: divide two and three-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 6: use written method for division - no exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 7: use written method for division - no exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 8: Use written method for division with one exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 9: Use written method for division with one exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 10: Revise multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.
Each lesson follows the same maths lesson structure of:
Revisit

The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks.
The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks.
Here are 3 high-quality lessons on decimals which is intended to follow on straight after the children have been taught a unit on fractions. A unit of fractions is available in my TES shop.
The following learning objectives are covered:
Lesson 1: Compare decimals
(this is a practical lesson with plenty of visuals and explorative activities)
Lesson 2: Order decimals
(this lesson compares and orders decimals using a variety of contexts such as measurement)
Lesson 3: Identify decimal equivalents to fractions
(this is a practical lesson with matching activities)

Next Step (3 differentiated next steps available to stick into books)
Lessons come with accompanying worksheets that are structured into Fluency, Problem-solving and Reasoning tasks. Lessons are also accompanied by next steps which can be stuck into books. This means lessons show clear progression.
The planning is heavily inspired by the NCETM but I have broken the lessons down into my own PowerPoints to ensure the steps taught are very small so all can access. This unit takes on a mastery approach to teaching maths and has been highly effective in my own classroom. Key tasks, some slides and questions have been taken from a variety of sources including NCETM, White Rose, Diagnostic questions, Twinkl etc.
Included within the powerpoints are visual representations, small tasks for a ping-pong approach, stem sentences, high-level mathematical vocabulary, now/next/last visuals for SEN learners.

Here are Powerpoint slides of five lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Year 2.
In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities, Lego activities as well as writing tasks. This is ready to download and teach.
The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows:
Lesson 1: Engage in the idea that God created the universe.
This starts off with the children completing a key word writing activity where they write 5 of the unit’s key words 3 times. The teacher and children then discuss what they know about Creation so far and start writing down some questions they would like to find out. The teacher then goes through the Powerpoint which tells the story of Creation. The activity is to complete a storyboard of the Creation story. This lesson may take 2 sessions of learning.
Lesson 2: Explore the big frieze Creation panel
Here children will explore the order of the Bible and see that Creation comes first. They will explore the Big Frieze that comes with Understanding Christianity which are large images representing each part of the Bible. Children will explore the Creation image looking at it carefully and seeing what they spot. After this, children will create their own panel image to represent Creation. Place all of the images together to take a picture for display and their books.
Lesson 3: Explore that God has a unique relationship with human beings.
Building on learning from the last session, children will create their own Lego creations and understand how it feels to have some of it broken. They will learn how God may feel when people don’t look after the Earth. Children will discuss key questions at the end of the lesson.
Lesson 4: Understand how Christians look after God’s creation.
The class will come up with a brain shower of all the ideas they can think of to look after the Earth. There is a video to watch here to support this lesson. Children will complete a worksheet that asks questions about what Christians believe and how important it is to look after the world. This will include ways children can help look after the Earth.
Lesson 5: Evaluation and express my learning on Creation
Recap of unit’s learning.
Adding what they have learnt as a class to the class Wisdom wall.
Key question worksheet to answer the big question of this unit.
Included:
The Powerpoint with all of the links required inside
Worksheet for each lesson
Wonder Wall and Wisdom Wall templates for display
Clear Now/Next/Last slides included in the Powerpoints
