A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Animals including Humans. This lesson is the sixth and final lesson of a sequence, focusing on reviewing the unit/ acting as an assessment of what children can remember and understand.
There are a number of different tasks that link to what has been taught over the unit, including true or false, labelling diagrams, and thinking about different importances of parts of the body. An answer sheet is also included and a presentation of the activity to discuss answers along each stage.
There is a second version of the review task also created for any group working at a slightly lower level with all the same factors and answer sheet included.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Animals including Humans. This lesson is the second lesson of a sequence, looking at the different food groups and the nutrients we require. The lesson presentation includes a recap task looking at prior learning from a previous lesson (can easily be discarded if you are using this as a stand alone lesson) key vocabulary and discussion around why we eat, as well as looking the Eatwell plate and the different food groups within this. This is then followed up by looking at different nutrients, the role they play and good food sources.
This is then followed by an independent activity working on the nutrients and food groups. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included, with an answer sheet also included for the recap task.
Alongside this is a second version of the lesson aimed at any groups who may be working at a lower level. The aim of the lesson is the same and there is a presentation, activity with answers and support sheet at a more appropriate level.
A lesson/s that requires children to write an information text about the Sun, Moon or Earth. Included is a lesson presentation, an example text to show them what it looks like and some support sheets including a self-assessment grid and fact files. If you have iPads available or other technology they could then also use these to support fact finding.
A useful lesson at the end of a topic on Earth and Space to summarise the learning they have done.
A quiz that is a bit of fun/end of topic assessment for evolution and inheritance in Year 6. It takes on the form of a Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz with children competing individually, in teams or just doing it as a class as a bit of fun and a recap.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the second lesson of a sequence, looking at the different things that a plant needs. The lesson presentation includes a recap from a previous lesson of the different parts of a plant (can easily be omitted if you want this lesson as a one off) before then looking at the different things plants need and why.
This is then followed by an independent activity that requires children to name the things plants need before completing a true or false grid with statements linked to what plants need. This is then followed by a challenge question to provide the chance to reason. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included.
There is also a copy of the recap task included should you wish for children to have a go at naming parts of the plant and explaining why one part is important.
A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Animals including Humans. This lesson is the fifth lesson of a sequence, looking at muscles. The lesson presentation includes a recap task looking at prior learning from a previous lesson (can easily be discarded if you are using this as a stand alone lesson) key vocabulary and discussion around why muscles are important to us and how they work.
This is then followed by an independent activity working on applying the learning about muscles and how they work. This is then followed by a challenge question regarding exercise and breathing heavier. An answer sheet and support sheet are also included, with an answer sheet also included for the recap task.
Alongside this is a second version of the lesson aimed at any groups who may be working at a lower level. The aim of the lesson is the same and there is a presentation, activity with answers and support sheet at a more appropriate level.

Lesson Six - Reversible and irreversible changes
A range of reading comprehensions linked to famous people, either currently or from a period of history including politicians, scientists and activists.
A fully resourced lesson that focuses on stages of development for humans. Included is a lesson presentation with questions to get children thinking before identifying the different stages of development. There is then a three-way differentiated activity to apply what they have learnt.
A knowledge organiser that links to the Year 3 unit on plants, including key vocabulary, images and diagrams that link to some of the key information when learning about plants.
Also included are five different quizzes/ tasks that link to the information in the knowledge organiser that could be used on different weeks as a focus task/ revision of the information on the organiser.
These include quiz questions, matching definitions, completing diagrams and filling in blanks. For each quiz/ task, an answer sheet is also included.
Teach children all about the Sun, Earth and Moon with this block of differentiated lesson plans and resources.
These seven lessons take children on a journey from the developing understanding of the Solar System models to writing their own reports.
Lesson One - Reading comprehension task learning about the geocentric and heliocentric models
Lesson Two - Developing understanding of the Earth's orbit
Lesson Three - Developing understanding of the Earth's orbit and rotation
Lesson Four - Developing understanding of the Earth's rotation
Lesson Five - Learning about the orbit and phases of the Moon
Lesson Six and Seven - Writing a report about either the Sun, Moon or Earth.
A bundle full of resources including planning, slides and worksheets for English, Maths, Science and a History topic. Also included is a grammar and punctuation booklet, a KS2 Maths intervention programme and a big activity book for mastering times tables.
A mixed reading comprehension bundle that has a range of reading comprehensions that work on building understanding/ improving knowledge about famous scientists.
Six different posters of animal silhouettes that include facts regarding how they survive in their environment. Useful to form part of a display or as fact files for children to understand features that help animals adapt to their harsh environment, whether hot or cold.
Attached are moderation grids for the interim statements (recently released 2016-2017) for Writing, Science and Maths. This includes working below and greater depth for writing and can be used as a simple tick box exercise. Whilst they include many potential tick boxes, these are in no way how many pieces of evidence you require.
A sequence of lessons on light for Year 6 that includes an investigation. Included are the lesson presentations, any print outs required, a KWL grid to refer back to, a vocabulary triangle and a knowledge organiser.
A complete writing unit for teaching explanation texts through writing one about the digestive system. It has been created with lower KS2 in mind but is easily adaptable.
Each ‘lesson’ is broken into chunks of learning rather than directly being a one hour lesson. This means some of the lessons may take more than an hour and be completed over a sequence of lessons instead, with the focus being on the learning and activities within this rather than ‘rushing’ through in an hour. Altogether, there is approximately two weeks worth of lessons, with slightly longer depending on how long drafting, redrafting and publishing take.
The unit includes lessons on:
Features of explanation texts
Cohesive devices
Research
Creating simple sentences
Drafting and redrafting
Publishing
All lesson PowerPoints with notes are included as well as a model text, a summary organiser about the digestive system, activity sheets and a explanation text summary sheet.
