A leaflet template with lines for writing and two picture boxes. Can be printed double sided. and edited.<br /> Suitable for any year group. <br /> My Year 4 SEN pupils would struggle to create a leaflet layout like this for an English lesson. This template helped them to focus on the quality of their writing.<br /> The picture boxes broke up the text for the pupils and helped not to overwhelm them with the task at hand, the way a blank sheet of paper could!

L.O.1 Practise ordering the stages of Little Red Riding Hood.<br /> L.O.2 Plan the beginning, middle and end of my story.<br /> <br /> Worksheet 1 - an activity where the children can order 8 stages of the well known Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. These story segments can be cut up and placed into chronological order, or can simply be numbered by the children if they don't need to see it in order visually.<br /> <br /> Worksheets 2 and 3 - examples of story planners to help pupils to plan/ bullet point the beginning, middle and end of a story. Worksheet 3 contains speech bubbles, where the children can write in key vocabulary that they want to include in their stories.

A worksheet with pictures and text boxes, which asks children to write 2 ways in which each animal has adapted to its environment.

Lesson Objectives:<br /> * To know facts about the 1969 Moon Landing<br /> * To know what has changed between then (1969) and now (2000s) in space exploration<br /> <br /> This lesson was for a Year 2 class of pupils studying space exploration in History. This resource contains the following downloads:<br /> <br /> * Space History PowerPoint - This introduces the 1969 moon landing, and simply explains how it all started. The presentation suggests video-clips (YouTube) where children can watch the take-off and landing on the moon. The presentation also includes a time-line of space exploration from 1949 through to the 2000s to give pupils an idea of chronology.<br /> <br /> * Mars Reading - this is a factual short text about the current Mars space exploration, and a comparison about what has changed between space exploration in 1969 and now. The second part of the document shows images of 1969 and 2000s space buggies, space suits, rockets and space food, which the children can look at and compare.<br /> <br /> * HAP answer sheet - Reading comprehension questions to the above text.<br /> <br /> *LAP answer sheet - A template for pupils to write similarities/ differences that they have learnt between 1969 space exploration and present day space exploration.

L.O. To understand the difference between evaporation and condensation<br /> <br /> After discussing the water cycle, and recalling the meaning of the scientific words 'evaporation' and 'condensation', this worksheet (with pictures) will test the pupils' ability to identify situations where evaporation or condensation is occurring, and allows them to explain each process.

<p>L.O. To know that animals are adapted to live in their habitats.<br /> L.O. To know how different animal are adapted to live in the habitats.</p> <p>This download includes 5 pages, as follows:</p> <p>* Questions (with pictures) about how animals (shark, otter, camel, polar bear and parrot) are adapted to their habitat. Pupils need to consider the features of each animal, and answer in sentences.<br /> * A matching activity - pupils match the animal (shark, otter, camel, polar bear and parrot) to the habitat, and can write how they think the animals are suited to their homes.<br /> * Guess the animal activity - the pupils read clues about the animal’s adaptive features and guess the animal from the description (shark, otter, camel, polar bear or parrot)<br /> * Animal Information Sheet - A descriptive paragraph about each of the animals (shark, otter, camel, polar bear and parrot) - can be used as a reading comprehension text.<br /> * Lined page - Pupils completing this activity will write a more in-depth piece about how one of the animals are suited to their habitat (they could use additional information books to find out further facts.)</p> <p>The above activities can be used by the same children for consolidation or end-of-lesson testing purposes, or may be used as a form of differentiation between groups during a lesson.</p>

L.O. To use non-standard uniform units or standard uniform units, to estimate and measure the length of objects.<br /> <br /> I used this resource for a whole lesson activity to introduce the topic of measuring length to a Year 5/6 class of SEND children.<br /> <br /> The first worksheet asks the children to choose between using fingers, counters, cubes or hands as a suitable unit of measurement, and then to estimate and measure a range of objects found within the classroom.<br /> <br /> The second worksheet (contained within the download) is for the pupils who have already started to learn to use a ruler. It asks them to measure the same objects as in worksheet 1, but with a ruler/ metre rule (a standard uniform unit).<br /> <br /> N.B. Bring straws to the lesson - the other objects being measured are all things found within a classroom!

L.O. To proofread and edit writing appropriately.<br /> <br /> A whole lesson to encourage children to proofread and improve on writing after a first draft. The following lesson pupils were going to proof-read and improve their own newspaper reports on an Anglo-Saxon invasion. However, in the past, pupils in my class struggled with knowing how to improve their writing and often thought it meant making it neater, or changing a couple of words. I thought it might help them if we focused on proof-reading my writing first!<br /> <br /> This bundle contains:<br /> * A lesson plan<br /> * Success criteria (differentiated 2 ways)<br /> * x2 versions of the same newspaper report (1 for higher attainers, 1 for lower attainers) for the pupils to proofread, highlight and improve<br /> * x1 'corrected' version of the newspaper report<br /> * A presentation which talks the activity through with the children

A scheme of work and a presentation used as part of two Year 4 'Art days', which encompassed the cross-curricular Viking topic, line drawing, and the skill of incised (press) printing. The ultimate end goal was for the pupils to etch a Viking pattern into polystyrene tiles, and use poster paint to imprint their patterns onto a whole class Viking 'tapestry' (or a shield as outlined on the original plan!). Pupils also learnt artist history (Albrecht Durer, Mattise, and Mark Hearld), line drawing techniques and printing techniques.<br /> <br /> In the new curriculum, Year 4s are expected to use incised printing to create more complex patterns.<br /> <br /> The topics of the presentation are in the following order:<br /> <br /> - introduces the concept of printing (opportunity for discussion)<br /> - describes different printing techniques<br /> - describes 3 famous artists/ printers and their work (opportunity for pupils to make notes in their sketchbooks)<br /> - describes/ shows real-life Viking wood carvings<br /> - allows opportunity to learn about/ practise line drawing prior to etching patterns into polystyrene tiles<br /> - presents a range of Viking/ Nordic patterns to inspire the pupils' artwork

L.O. Identify the features of debate speech<br /> <br /> A worksheet, consisting of a matrix of 21 suitable and unsuitable features of debate speech/ behaviour. Pupils were required to consider each point and shade in if they thought it was a feature of 'debate speech'.<br /> EXAMPLES from the worksheet:<br /> * Stays focused, doesn’t start giggling <br /> * Speaks in a loud clear voice<br /> <br /> Some of the unsuitable features the children found funny, which drilled the point home!<br /> <br /> Background and Suggested Activity:<br /> My Year 4 class watched the most recent General Election debate in order to see real-life debating behaviour.<br /> <br /> During the video-clip I asked them to think about what exactly it is about the speech/ actions of the party leaders that makes them persuasive (we had already looked at how debates are about persuading people towards their side of the argument).<br /> <br /> For higher attaining pupils, I kept this task open ended, and they were to note down the features of the speakers that they thought were suitable for a 'debate'.<br /> For the lower attaining pupils, I knew they would struggle to think of the terminology for 'speech features', so created this worksheet.

L.O. To use the column method of addition (or subtraction) to solve mathematical word problems.<br /> <br /> Children would require an understanding of money, mass, volume and length conversions, as most questions include a mixture of measures for extra challenge (e.g. grams and kilograms within the same word problem - the pupil would need to convert to either g or kg first).<br /> <br /> The Addition Word problems resource contains:<br /> x2 worksheets, one with more difficult numbers, i.e. decimals mixed with whole numbers<br /> x1 sheet contains 'steps to success' for column addition (3 to a page to save on photocopying! The children would stick these in their books and would refer back to them for help.)<br /> <br /> The Addition and Subtraction Word problems resource contains:<br /> x1 worksheet with mixed addition and subtraction problems<br /> <br /> Example question:<br /> <br /> 1) The price of a computer game is £39.99. A boy's mum gave him £15 to pay towards it - his little sister was feeling generous and also gave him 46p to put towards it. After these deductions, how much of his money did the boy end up paying?

Lesson Objectives:<br /> * Listen to a different version of Little Red Riding Hood<br /> * Talk about what happened in the stories and what's different<br /> * Think about new ideas for the setting, characters, the ending, story language<br /> * Write our own fairy tale<br /> <br /> I used this lesson for a Year 5/6 mixed class of SEND pupils.<br /> <br /> This resource is a presentation containing the story 'Little Red Fish' - I wrote this as an alternative version of the Little Red Riding Hood story. The story is presented on the slides in the PowerPoint (so pupils can practise reading aloud to the class), and I have also attached a worksheet version of the story, for pupils to follow with their fingers if preferred.<br /> <br /> The presentation ends by encouraging the children to think about what was different in this story to the classic fairy tale.<br /> <br /> I then asked pupils to think of what they could use in their stories instead of:<br /> * A forest setting<br /> * Little Red Riding Hood (the 'goody' character)<br /> * The basket (the main prop)<br /> * The Wolf (the 'baddy' character)<br /> * Grandma (the damsel in distress)<br /> * The Axe-man (the 'hero')<br /> <br /> We discussed that the above list is just a start on how we could write a fairy tale, but is a very structured way of helping the children to create their own tales.

Used for a Year 4 end of year assembly to parents to show off what the children have learnt. The topic for that term was Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, the children had previously learnt about the Romans. The script aims to be funny with it's game-show style of 'A Journey Though Time' (there were some laughs from the audience!)<br /> <br /> The script then transitions into a &quot;changes over time&quot; section, which takes a more serious tone - it allowed the pupils to explain how they'd tackled the changes they faced during Year 4 (at this point there were some tears from the audience!)<br /> <br /> As this was in a church school, the final section ends in the children's own prayer.<br /> <br /> The script suggests sources of music, required resources (made by the children), and differentiates between the &quot;trickier parts&quot; and the shorter parts. I hope you find it useful!<br /> <br /> N.B. This was in fact my first edition of this assembly, I since padded the script out, but the most recent version included pupil names and was much more personalised.

L.O. To use the formal written method for multiplication.<br /> Worksheet 1 (Multiply these 3-digit numbers by 2 and by 3.)<br /> Worksheet 2 (Multiply these 3-digit numbers by 2, 3 and 4.)<br /> <br /> A worksheet (that the pupils can write on), laying out 3 digit by 1 digit multiplications. Multiplications are x2, x3 and x4 only, as pupils were just starting to learn the formal written method.

L.O. To use the balancing method to solve linear equations<br /> <br /> I created this worksheet for the highest attaining pupils in my year 5 maths group - it contains 10 linear equations which require the pupil to find the value of the letter by balancing the equation.<br /> There is an example broken down into steps at the top of the worksheet.<br /> <br /> I have also attached the 'steps to success' that my pupils liked to refer back to as a first point of call when they were stuck! There are 2 on one page to save on photocopying!<br /> <br /> Answers:<br /> 1) t = 5<br /> 2) x = 18<br /> 3) y = 11<br /> 4) a = 5<br /> 5) u = 9<br /> 6) u = 14<br /> 7) t = 1.5<br /> 8) t = 0.5<br /> 9) n = 7<br /> 10) x = 5

x2 worksheets within the download (the 2nd one being slightly trickier)<br /> <br /> Pupils are required to estimate, then measure each line on the worksheet and record their answers in centimetres. They will need to use string for the curved lines to get an accurate measurement!

L.O.1 To test my knowledge of the 2, 5, and 10 times table.<br /> L.O.2 To test me knowledge of the 3, 4 and 5 times table.<br /> <br /> This resource contains two times table quizzes, with 35 mixed times tables in each. Worksheet 1 tests the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Worksheet 2 tests the 3, 4 and 5 times tables.<br /> <br /> Can be used as a starter, early morning/ registration activity, or one-off test.

This lesson was for Year 5/6 SEND pupils. The objective was for pupils to know what the food groups are (scientific words, e.g. &quot;carbohydrates&quot; introduced verbally), the importance of each type for our bodies, and what a healthy balanced meal looks like.<br /> <br /> * The Food Type Worksheet (2 differentiated versions within download) requires pupils to match the food types to their function for our bodies.<br /> <br /> * The Food Groups as a Pie Chart requires pupils to label a pie chart according to the proportion of each type of food that we should eat in order to be healthy.<br /> <br /> * Healthy Eating Plate - a template of a dinner plate, for pupils to glue on pictures of a balanced meal.<br /> <br /> * Pics - food types - a range of food items for pupils to choose from that they can glue onto their Healthy Eating Plate template (advised that multiple copies are printed - I had 12 pupils in the class so this wasn't too much of an issue!)

Three presentations/ tasks/ ideas for a 45 minute after school Art Club that I ran. Please note that this club focused on elements of art and drawing that the children enjoyed, not necessarily the National Curriculum expectations for art!<br /> <br /> For each session I would talk through each of the steps whilst I did a demo, then I would leave the slides on the board for the children to refer back to as they worked.<br /> <br /> Sessions:<br /> 1) 3D lettering (the children would write their names/ their favourite words in 'cool' 3D fonts)<br /> 2) Sunset Silhouettes (involving graduating/ layering paint, and placing a black figure over the top)<br /> 3) Zentangle Bugs (I printed off copies of several bugs for the children to shade in/ some drew their own designs)

L.O. To use knowledge of the 2 times table to answer halving and sharing word problems.<br /> <br /> This resource contains 2 worksheets containing 8 maths word problems in each, where the pupils will need to divide by 2 to find the answers.<br /> <br /> The questions use varied mathematical language, to familiarise the pupils with phrases that mean the same as &quot;halving&quot;.

L.O. To use non-chronological report writing features in my writing.<br /> <br /> This bundle contains:<br /> 1x Non-Chronological Report Writing Model, which was a visual cue of what a NCR should look like whilst the pupils were writing theirs. <br /> (N.B. Information content of text missed out to prevent the children from directly copying! However a sample introduction and conclusion is provided.)<br /> <br /> 1x Non-Chronological Report quiz (true/ false style) to test the pupils' understanding of NCR features.<br /> <br /> 1x Non-Chronological Report Checklist - the pupils would use this when deciphering if a piece of writing contained NCR features/ identifying a text type.<br /> <br /> 1x Success Criteria / Steps to Success - helps pupils remember how to write a NCR and helps with proof-reading/ editing after the first draft.
