I did this as an observation lesson and I received 'outstanding' for it so I thought I would share! This is to teach the chn about how seeds germinate. I made them use their bodies to represent this e.g. spreading out limbs to represent 'sprouting'. There are slides which include a concept cartoon and 3 differentiated broad bean diary templates that I made into A5 booklets to monitor our broad beans over 3 weeks. This took HOURS to plan so enjoy!

Out of the Blue - a whole term of planning!

(3)
Here we have a who term (13 weeks' worth) of planning for a topic entitled 'Out of the Blue'. This topic as focused on life under the sea including texts such as Hooray for Fish by Lucy Cousins, Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae and The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch by Ronda and David Armitage. I have included our topic web, medium term plans and weekly planning for Maths and English. I hope that this saves you a lot of time and provides you with some idea for an under the sea topic. This was a real success! Please note that the first 7 weeks of planning for Maths and English involve continuous provision. We established a set of 'busy learning jobs' in Maths and English for the first half term so that the children could settle into Year 1. This worked brilliantly! Enjoy!
