A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a setting description based on a storm with thunder and lightning. Included in the resource is: Lesson PowerPoints Activity resources Fronted adverbial word bank Word bank linked to storms Drafting sheet adapted from Single Paragraph Outline Example texts Starter activities for the first five lessons with answers included A writing skills booklet that links to storms that can be used separately elsewhere to support writing in the unit Notes for the planning and the aims of the lesson With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 8 and 10 lessons. The first few lessons work on developing ideas and sentence construction ahead of the writing process with a lesson on developing vocabulary ideas, unpicking example texts, working on fronted adverbials and redrafting sentences forming the first four lessons. Where activities are used, these sentences also link purposefully to writing about storms to develop understanding further. This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process. Due to copyright, you will need to source an image to base the writing on - this needs to be a picture of a lightning storm and would preferably be set over a water scene - this is however reflected in the price and all resources uploaded are in PowerPoint format so they can be edited as required, including the lesson PowerPoints that include notes for teaching and where to add your own image

A fully resourced lesson for place value, written for Year 6 but easily adaptable. The resources included provide enough work for two sessions. Included are: A set of 20 slides that can be used as a lesson presentation to work on the place value of numbers. Included are a range of questions and a number of visual representations with place value counters to help children understand how the different values work. Also included are a set of three differentiated worksheets that work on place value for Year 6 children. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets. These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern. Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA) Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA) Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA) Worksheet Four - Same as worksheet three as a spare for anybody who finishes problem solving Answers are included for each sheet.
