This lesson explicitly addresses racism that may have been happening in your school or class.
The learning objective is to understand what racism is.
The first slides focuses on what racism is and has a link to a child friendly youtube video to answer this question.
The next few slides focus on identity and how someone’s identity is who they are and many of these qualities you cannot change ie. skin colour, sexual orientation, likes, dislikes etc.
One of the slides addresses the fact that just because someone has a different preference or quality to you doesn’t mean it effects you personally. We are all different but that does not matter - we all have the same community and need to work together.
There is another link to a Youtube story ‘a kids book about racism’ by Jelani Memory.
We then look at WHY someone might grow up with racist views ie. parents, closed-minded etc.
We then discuss how you can be racist without realising ie. saying certain words or stereotyping.
We then look at quotes and we address why those comments are racist.
The next few slides show motivational posters to stop racism which are a discussion point.
I have attached Twinkl’s racism scenario cards which is what my class responded to in their books.

Lesson 1: Analysis and looking at the work of Alice Bailly and Pablo Picasso. Info about the artists with key questions to answer based on their work.
Comparison task.
(For KS1, this can be done whole class and stuck into books. KS2 independent work)
Lesson 2: Children explore cubism skills by understanding what cubism is and drawing a selection of random objects through a cubist lens.
Lesson 3: Children explore wool painting and have an opportunity to explore different patterns and styles of wool painting.
Lesson 4: Children create their own cubism self-portraits. They add a section of wool painting to the art.
I taught this to a Year 4 class but this can be used from Year 4 - Year 6.
This will support children in knowing how to cope with loss and exploring this and strategies to support them. Included in this are the tasks and links to stories on Youtube so you do not need the physical book yourself.
4 Lessons based on shadow work of Kumi Yamashita.

Smart notes goes through a process of thinking about what the children’s skills are, what experience in secret agent work they have done before (imaginative thinking) and shows appropriate letter structure.
This uses the stimulus video of Alma.
The Smartnotes document goes through the short film step by step with key questions to think about and promote creative, descriptive writing.
Can be used flexibly throughout KS2.
Here are 8 lessons which goes from page 1 up to page 53 of the book.
-Read the book to the children/Children read the chapters stated.
Children complete the activity for the lesson.
Answers included for easy marking.
Made and completed for Year 4.
Easily Adaptable.
9 weeks worth of homework!
Each week consists of two sets - one for on track learners and one for ‘SEN’ learners. The SEN homework is slightly more visual and goes through the KS1 spellings. The on-track homework takes spellings from the Year 3/4 government spelling list.
The homework is intended to be printed double sided with a times table task on one side and spellings on the other.
The homework has the due date written on the top of the page which is due in on Fridays but this can easily be amended.

This unit of work involves 5 lessons that are creative and go into depth in inferring from the text. This is a unit of work that works on inference and understanding the text. It mostly follows the plan from the CPLE Power of Reading planning for this book. The lessons have some writing opportunities, group work activities and drama/role-play activities.
Lesson 1 - Infer from illustrations
Lesson 2 - Write an encouraging letter
Lesson 3 - Share my opinions about the character’s actions
Lesson 4 - Explore the impact of language choic
Lesson 5 - Ask questions
Each lessons comes in its own Powerpoint.
The book can be accessed online via Youtube.
Each lesson has a section for a quick spelling practice that currently include Year 4 spellings but this can be easily changed.
Each lesson has a short grammar warm up and ends with a word game.
Learning objectives:
Identify place value
Use column addition with regrouping
Use column addition with regrouping
Use column addition with regrouping twice
Decide on mental or written strategies
Solve addition problems
Identify minuend and subtrahend
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction with one exchange

This is a unit of work for three History lessons on Ancient Maya.
They include:
The Mayan creation story
Mayan Gods
What were Ancient Mayan homes like?
There are a range of activities such as drawing, designing, researching and creating a fact file.
Here are Powerpoint slides of five lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Year 2.
In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities, Lego activities as well as writing tasks. This is ready to download and teach.
The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows:
Lesson 1: Engage in the idea that God created the universe.
This starts off with the children completing a key word writing activity where they write 5 of the unit’s key words 3 times. The teacher and children then discuss what they know about Creation so far and start writing down some questions they would like to find out. The teacher then goes through the Powerpoint which tells the story of Creation. The activity is to complete a storyboard of the Creation story. This lesson may take 2 sessions of learning.
Lesson 2: Explore the big frieze Creation panel
Here children will explore the order of the Bible and see that Creation comes first. They will explore the Big Frieze that comes with Understanding Christianity which are large images representing each part of the Bible. Children will explore the Creation image looking at it carefully and seeing what they spot. After this, children will create their own panel image to represent Creation. Place all of the images together to take a picture for display and their books.
Lesson 3: Explore that God has a unique relationship with human beings.
Building on learning from the last session, children will create their own Lego creations and understand how it feels to have some of it broken. They will learn how God may feel when people don’t look after the Earth. Children will discuss key questions at the end of the lesson.
Lesson 4: Understand how Christians look after God’s creation.
The class will come up with a brain shower of all the ideas they can think of to look after the Earth. There is a video to watch here to support this lesson. Children will complete a worksheet that asks questions about what Christians believe and how important it is to look after the world. This will include ways children can help look after the Earth.
Lesson 5: Evaluation and express my learning on Creation
Recap of unit’s learning.
Adding what they have learnt as a class to the class Wisdom wall.
Key question worksheet to answer the big question of this unit.
Included:
The Powerpoint with all of the links required inside
Worksheet for each lesson
Wonder Wall and Wisdom Wall templates for display

I am a maths specialist and have created a unit of work based off of the NCETM spines for division. This starts with the foundations of division and leads into short method/bus stop method for division.
I have dived into a variety of high-quality resources including NCETM, White Rose and diagnostic questions. The activities and tasks have been specially designed and ordered to provide a solid understanding of division. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download.
Lesson 1: multiply and divide by 11
Lesson 2: multiply and divide by 12
Lesson 3: divide using resources (practical lesson)
Lesson 4: divide two-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 5: divide two and three-digit numbers with remainders
Lesson 6: use written method for division - no exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 7: use written method for division - no exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 8: Use written method for division with one exchange (practical lesson)
Lesson 9: Use written method for division with one exchange (applying the new skill in books)
Lesson 10: Revise multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100.
