Thankyou for looking at my resource. In this resource there are four lessons. Each lesson focussing on a specific type of sentence. Lesson 1- Questions Lesson 2 - Command Lesson 3 - Exclamation Lesson 4 - Statement Indepth preview of lesson 1 In lesson one children will look at question sentences. Children will be challenged to think why we need question sentences via the example of a new child starting in their class. Children will then be taught what a question is and using the child starting in their class will work with a partner to apply the 5 ws + 1h to questions they may ask a new student. Children will independently apply these to a similiar example in their own books where they will fill in the missing W/H. With the most able being challenged to write further questions while helping hands in the form of the teacher to be available. Children will return as a class and look at how we write a question sentence such as the punctuation. Children will be introduced to an alien who has given some answers. Children working with their partner will write the questions they think the alien was asked. Finally children will move on to independently writing the questions they think a paramedic was asked based on their answers. Helping hands scaffold and Challenge additional questions. Every lesson involves children being encouraged to idenitfy the importance of what they are learning. This is usually through a direct problem such as following instructions where there is no verb to emphasis the importance of a verb in instructions. Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving children develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding of their learning. Powerpoint user guide Throughout children are encouraged to rewind on prior learning through rewind sections. Children are also exposed to fast forward where they will see how their learning applies to future learning (be this the next lesson or in future years) Chilli challenges encourage children to maximise their learning. Challenges should be given to all. Not just your most able. They are purposely open ended. The ‘differentiation’ comes from how your most able access the task. Helping hands provide children with additional supports to allow them to access the main learning.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will not only be writing prepositions but also developing a clear understanding of what exactly a preposition is. Children will start with a warm up task identifying the nouns in a festive picture. Children will then play a where’s wally style game with a snowman which will lead on to children spotting that the commonality of prepositions. Prepositions will be defined however a child friendly version will be established. Children will identify the two nouns relating to the snowman and then identify the preposition. Children will do this a number of times to establish their understanding. Children will move on to independently writing the preposition for various items on a snowman. Helping hands - Children will choose the appropriate preposition. Chilli Challenge - Children will make a snowman and write instructions containing a preposition to instruct a friend how to make theirs.

The concept will then be further investigated as children explore the difference between words with the prefix un and words that simply start with un.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This lesson sequence provides a really nice assessment opportunity. Lesson 1 - Children will listen to the story of Goldilocks and then acted out the story. Children will not only reflect on the story but also will think about how we perform e.g using different voices for different characters. Lesson 2 - Children will be introduced to the idea of motive (in a very ks1 friendly manner) Children will think of ideas for what motivated Goldilocks to enter The Three Bears house. Lesson 3 - Using the story map used to support their performances in lesson one children will think about how the story will need to changed when the motive has changed. Children will be guided through adapting the story map plan. Lesson 4- Children will be writing their story. Children will be supported using a story map to write their story and will also be actively encouraged to uplevel their work. A teacher modelled example is provided for the first two parts of the plan children will discuss with a partner what techniques they can see the teacher has used.

Thankyou for looking at my resource Children will start with a warm up game of simon says which will lead into children recapping on verbs and ensuring all children have a clear definition of them. Children will think about what they did yesterday and discuss this in partner talk. Children will be shown an example of what somebody did. yesterday but the verb tenses will be incorrect. Children will start by exploring simple past tense verbs and spot that you simply need to add ed. Children will complete a task either independently or with support of an adult helping hands. A chilli challenge is provided when they have completed the main task - the differentiation comes in how children access the task. Children will then be taught examples where you can’t simply add ed. Children will again complete an independent task. Powerpoint user guide Throughout children are encouraged to rewind on prior learning through rewind sections.

Lesson 1 - Children to create six Halloween costume ideas and choose their favourite. Lesson 2 - Children to use adjectives to describe their costume. Children to be challenged to use expanded adjectives to add more detail to their writing. Lesson 3 - Children to write a description of their Halloween costume. Thankyou for looking at my resource. Central to the lessons within my teaching is by introducing the learning through a problem that can only be solved using the LO. e.g identifying a picture through a sentence that doesn’t contain expanded adjectives so it is impossible to identify the picture.Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding.
