This three-week unit of work is based on the text Pig Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman and the Talk for Writing model with a baseline assessment- planning- imitation- innovation- independent application- final assessment. The pupils will learn what the features of newspaper reports are and how to identify bias. They will look in detail at a ‘model text’ and will learn this off-by-heart to help them reproduce similar sentence structures and vocabulary in their own writing. Through teacher modelling, they will embellish the class version on kidney xenotransplantation before writing their own independently using the techniques they have learnt. Lesson 1- Have a go writing own newspaper report Lesson 2- whole class guided reading on the model text (Pig Heart Boy based) Lesson 3- Looking at how cohesion is created Lesson 4- Features of newspaper reports Lesson 5- ‘Boxing-up’- looking at how the model text is structured Lesson 6- Analysing bias and how it is created in newspaper reports Lesson 7, 8 & 9- Shared writing with teacher modelling Lesson 10,11,12,13,14,15- planning, writing, editing and improving own newspaper reports This unit is planned for Year 5 and 6 children but can easily be modified to suit lower KS3 students.

Lesson objective: To recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets. In this lesson, students will recap on 3d shapes and their properties. They will then look at the nets of different 3d shapes and through the interactive links will practise forming nets of the 3d shapes provided. Finally they will learn how to draw the nets of shapes accurately. 3 levels of differentiated activity sheets are provided as well as answer sheets. Duration: 1 hour This is an engaging lesson which comes with an interactive power point presentation and all corresponding activity worksheets. It is designed for Year 6 but could easily be modified to suit lower KS2 and KS3.

A mechanism is a device which takes an input motion or force, and outputs a different motion and force. In this lesson, students will learn about different mechanisms such as pulleys, gears and levers. They will see how each works in everyday life and learn the science behind them. They will be asked to identify which mechanism from the images and will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment creating their own levers before designing their own machines using what they have learnt. The activity sheets are provided which guide them through this process. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

In this lesson, students will learn that there are two types of reproduction in plants: sexual and asexual. They will learn about the life cycle of plants that reproduce sexually looking at pollination, fertilisation, seed dispersal and germination. They will also learn the different parts of flowering plants and will dissect a flowering plant using the guide to help them. They will then look at asexual reproduction in plants through tubers, runners and bulbs. They will consider the advantages and disadvantages with both. They will be quizzed throughout the lesson for retrieval and will then complete an activity sheet which will question their understanding. A knowledge organiser for the unit is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Living Things and Their Habitats, Year 5. To view the other lessons, please visit: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/ResourcesForYou/Primary science

In this lesson students will work towards the objective: use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. They will first learn about how our understanding of day and night has changed over time before understanding the science behind the suns ‘apparent’ movement across the sky. They will also learn how sundials work before explaining what they have learnt on the activity sheet. They will then learn about the seasons and the science behind the concentration of the sun’s energy on the Earth’s surface. They will be taught how this links to time zones and again will explain their understanding through the activity sheet. The engaging presentation- with links to online video clips and the activity sheets are all provided. A knowledge organiser for Earth & Space is also included. This lesson is intended for Year 5 students but can easily be modified for all KS2 and KS3 students. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Earth & Space.

This lesson will cover the objective: multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers. Students will first be taught how to use the column and grid methods to complete these calculations and reminded of the importance of place value. They will then practise using these methods on simple calculations and word problems. Differentiated worksheets are provided which require students to first work out calculations mentally, then use the methods learnt with simple calculations and then with word problems. By the end of the lesson they will have consolidated their understanding of multiplying decimals by integers and been challenged to do so in context. Answers are provided for the worksheets.

In this lesson students will learn about the adult and late adulthood stages of the human life cycle. They will learn that adults are fully developed and stop growing before looking in detail at how as humans age, many of the body systems gradually decline leading to the changes we see in elderly people. They will be given detailed information about these changes which they will read and complete related questions. Finally, they will complete a true or false quiz to assess their understanding. A knowledge organiser for Animals including Humans is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Animals including Humans.

Water resistance is a force that tries to slow things down that are moving through water. It is a type of friction and sometimes called drag. In this lesson, students will learn what water resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about streamlining and how we make things streamlined in order to reduce water resistance. They will also learn about upthrust and how this enables boats to float. They will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment to investigate how the shape of aluminum foil affects how it behaves in water. The experiment worksheet is provided as well as an explanation into the reasons behind this. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is a type of friction. In this lesson, students will learn what air resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about Galileo Galilei who first investigated air resistance and how without air, objects with the same mass will fall at the same rate. They will learn about streamlining in order to minimise surface area and they will complete a quiz mid-way to check understanding. They will then carry out two experiments- 1) paper drop test 2) investigating how the size of a canopy affects the rate of a parachute’s decent. Sheets are provided for the experiments along with an interactive presentation and useful knowledge organiser. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.
