All resources are listed here and are referenced in the lesson plans. A great unit that is easy to understand and teach to your class. This unit has been intentionally planned to mainly cover the last national curriculum objective apply their understanding of computing to program, monitor and control their products as I struggled to find a unit of work that could help teach teachers before they then delivered this to children. Crumble micro-controllers have been used due to their affordability and ease of use with the teaching and learning of this unit of work. They are avalible at: https://redfernelectronics.co.uk/shop/ (You only need the starter kit for this planning)

**STOP MARKING CHILDREN’S WRITING! ** This editing structure splits the process into two sections, proof-reading and composition. The only ‘marking’ the class teacher must do is, read the child’s work, note down any common grammatical and spelling errors, then add examples (good and bad) to the slides. I have used this process for a whole year and I’ve managed to mark 30 children’s writing AND plan an editing lesson in 40 minutes! This 23 slide notebook include all the KS2 writing writing at and above age related standard assessment criteria to help with assessing the children writing. Give it a go and contact me if anything is unclear. Claim back your evenings!
