This is an English Reading lesson activity that was used for a Year 1 / 2 class for an ECT interview. The activity was based on the book Dragon Post and was a prediction lesson. This lesson is aimed at around 30 minutes. The book Dragon Post will be needed for this lesson. Within this pack there is: A lesson plan for the lesson activity with assessment for learning opportunities and opportunities for progression with higher ability children. The lesson plan highlights previous knowledge (year 2 children using prediction in year 1), National Curriculum links, Learning objective, Success criteria, introduction, direct teaching, independent task, plenary and assessment points. The lesson plan is fully editable. A learning objective with success criteria suitable for a mixed year 1 / 2 class due to link to the National Curriculum. A “word bucket” for children to access spellings with phonics set 2 and 3 sounds identified. The word bucket is fully editable. A powerpoint used in the lesson. The slides include: a slide to show the learning objective and success criteria, a prediction slide which shows question prompts after reading part of the story, a slide which has stem sentences to help children with writing their prediction, an assessment for learning opportunity slide to add the subordinating conjunction because into their sentences.

Plastic Pollution Planning Sheet and Non-Chronological Report Template These resources were made for an English lesson (curriculum links to Eco school) where the children researched, planned and wrote a non-chronological report on plastic pollution. This resource contains: A word document with 2 pages. This is the plastic pollution planning template. One page has headings for the children to use to guide their research.

A 2 page PDF file that can be used when the children come to write their non-chronological report. I have aimed this resource at my year 2 English class but you may wish to use for other year groups as appropriate. On the 2 page PDF, there is space for a title, subheadings, and pictures as well as smaller boxes for did you know? facts. I designed the PDF on an A3 template so should be ready to go as A3 when printed.
