This resource is a ppt to support teaching on the Viking era. This is aimed at LKS2 but can be easily adapted for upper KS2. The ppt will start by defining chronology and establishing the importance of developing a chronological understanding by comparing the chronology of the Vikings to the development of a key primary resource. The ppt will then go on to teach the differences between BC and AD.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. The purpose of this video is to show you what a typical lesson will look like. This showcases two lessons from a halloween sequence. It shows the key components of all lessons as well as how creative learning is successfully applied to maximise learning ,whilst ensuring students don’t experience cognitive overload.

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. This is the second lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons or the previous lesson. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable. In this lesson children will play a child friendly version of two truths one lie. Children will be informed that Ms Cheeky has changed one of three scientific facts and they have to identify which one is the not fact. This will provide an opportunity for the teacher to make a quick assessment of any learning which needs recapping on. This will also ensure that prior learning is at the forefront of children’s mind to make sense of their new learning. Children will link their prior learning on offspring by thinking how a baby develops from a baby to an adult. Children will start this by looking at humans as an example of offspring that look like their adult . Children will then move onto looking at a frog. Children will have it highlighted that in future learning that this is called metamorphosis. Children will not needed to remember this to complete their learning. Once learning about the frog’s lifecycle and given opportunity to consolidate this learning. Children will create their own frog lifecycle. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks. The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is the second lesson in a sequence . The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons or the previous lesson. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable. Children will be designing a new play park. They will complete a number of tasks to ensure they have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and their previous lesson on material uses. This will also ensure that this prior learning is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning. Children will discuss with a partner whether paper would be a ‘good’ material for a slide. This will lead into the introduction of the concept of suitability. The first task children will complete will involve identifying all materials that would be suitable for an object. Children will build up to completing an independent task. Children will return as a class to look at how the object’s exact use can change which material is most suitable. Children will look at a number of scenarios and discuss which material would be most suitable. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks. The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is the first lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable. Children will be designing a new play park. Children will be shown two play parks and will think about which park they would rather play at. Children will be provided with a stem sentence to improve oracy. Using the play park children will complete a number of tasks to ensure children have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and that it is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning. Children will identify the materials used at the play park, differentiate between the object and the material and finally think about why certain materials have been used at the playpark based on their properties. Children will move on to identifying the uses of different materials throughout the school. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.

Thank you for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by recapping on the definition of animal and matching the animal group to the description. Children will reflect on what animals need to survive which will lead into being informed that Zack the zookeeper thinks that all animals eat the same thing. Children will discuss whether they agree or disagree with this. Children will be shown a number of animals diets and will reflect whether it is possible to remember all of the individual diets of the over 1.2 million animals that exist. Children will be introduced to carnivore, herbivore and omnivore as well a small task to ensure that children understand what is meant by meat and plant type foods. Further to this a discussion will be had about humans and those that follow a vegan/vegetarian/other diet. Children will build up to independently identifying whether an animal is carnivore,herbivore or omnivore based on their diet. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is an informal assessment task that will demonstrate children’s understanding of the year 2 science unit Uses of everyday materials. This lesson is part of a sequence but can be used isolated. Children will be designing a new play park. They will complete a number of tasks to ensure they have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and their previous lesson on material uses. This will also ensure that this prior learning is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning. Children will design a playpark and then answer a number of questions about their choices such as how does their choice of material reduce harm to the environment. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resouce. Children will start the lesson recapping on their prior learning in the unit through a variety of parter and whole class quick tasks. Children will be given a number of choices through a discussion of would you rather? Children will look at how the choices relate to the senses. They will be provided with a clear definition of senses and consolidate this by identifying which sense was most important in their choices. Children will look at Zack the Zookeeper and a map of the zoo and identify how Zack experiences the zoo through his senses. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. Included are individual lesson resources and a detailed powerpoint. This five lesson sequence will see children converting the rhyme Five Little Monkeys into a story. Lesson 1 - Children will learn about the structure of a story and together place five little monkeys into this. Children will go onto create a comic strip. Lesson 2 - Children will focus on the introduction. Through carefully built up steps children will develop a sophisticated story openers and a bank of adjectives and expanded noun phrases to describe the monkeys and their home. Lesson 3 - Children will write the introduction to their story. Lesson 4- Children will plan the rest of the story thinking about how they can expand on the events of the story. Lesson 5 - Children will write up the rest of the story. Children will be guided through each stage in a thorough powerpoint that provides a variety of carefully thought out steps.

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. Children will then be shown the teacher explanation for their choices in their writing. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This powerpoint contains 25 spelling starters with a variety of tasks to help build children’s confidence in their exception words.

This is the first lesson in a sequence. Children will be working to help Zack the Zookeeper. Children will start the lesson by recapping on their prior learning via a game of which is an animal out of two choices. Children will then be taught a definition of animal. This will be applied to a number of tasks to ensure the meaning is embedded. Children will be introduced to Zack the Zookeeper. All lessons are based on learning generated from problem solving. Children will learn that Zack has done a number of things wrong but the issue is the task doesn’t name the animals e.g giving dog food to the animals. Children will be shown a number of animals grouped into the 5 main animal groups. This will support learning in the next lesson where children will be defining the five main animal groups. Independent application - Children will have 5 posters showing different animals and find an animal that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Helping hands - Support teacher ‘expert’ group. Chilli challenge - Children to be given an opportunity to think further about individual animals.
