Statements to help you with assessing children against the 2014 Computing Curriculum, or with setting targets. There are separate documents for years 3 and 4, which break down the learning and help to show progress between year groups. As the assessment grids help identify learning for children in each year group, they can also be used to guide planning, again to ensure progress between year groups.

Lesson PowerPoint, planning and activities for identifying living things. The second in a series of lessons to develop children's knowledge about 'Living Things and Their Habitats,' for the 2014 primary curriculum. Links to coverage of the curriculum are explicit in the planning. We are learning to identify and name living things. An interesting mastery starter - 'What am I?' to develop children's critical thinking and reasoning. Recaps prior learning on how living things are grouped. Opportunity for children to work in mixed ability groups to go on a hunt for living things in their school grounds or local environment. Develop's children's scientific explanations of how to identify and name living things (e.g. specific species of trees, butterflies, birds). Some 'mastery' thinking required through the questions posed, for deepening and mastering learning. 'Living Things' hunt work sheets provided for children to identify what they find and record these (focus on trees, shrubs, birds, insects, small mammals). Opportunity for cross-curricular links to ICT for identifying any living things found that are not identified on the sheets. Mastery questions to encourage children to consider what to search for. Also links with e-safety by recapping how to search the internet safely. Choice of 3 differentiated follow up activities (all of which are provided as well as being explained on the PowerPoint). Activities have cross-curricular links to maths (creating a bar graph). Plenary requires mastery level thinking and leads into next lesson by encouraging children to consider why grouping all living things as plants or animals is not specific enough.

Two sets of 20+ images to develop children's reading comprehension skills and discussion. Each image has two questions. These are particularly aimed at developing children's inference skills, justifying from using evidence in the pictures and broadening vocabulary. These will give any ability of child the opportunity to develop their comprehension skills. One set will link well with a Brazil/ South America theme and will also develop subject knowledge in this area. One set is for a topic on biomes.

Two lessons to help children understand remembrance day. One lesson focuses on remembrance day itself, the other on the significance of the poppy - and the different types of poppy available today.

4 lesson PowerPoint. Lessons 1-3 have 3 differentiated work sheets each. Lessons are generally 'sports' themed to engage and motivate boys, as well as girls. The lessons develop and build upon children knowledge of using direct speech in their writing. Each lesson initially recaps children's learning from the day before, prior to building upon it. Lesson 1 - We are learning to identify and correct punctuation in direct speech. 3 differentiated follow up tasks included. Lesson 2- We are learning to turn speech bubbles into direct speech. 3 differentiated follow up tasks included. Lesson 3 - We are learning to choose verbs to describe how something is said. 3 differentiated follow up tasks included. Lesson 4 - We are learning to use direct speech. Mixed ability, group task included, with 8 scenarios for children to turn into speech/ conversations after being read aloud by members of their group. Peer assessment included as part of lesson 4. If you only have a short period of time for SPaG, there is enough material to cover 8 sessions as each lesson PowerPoint has practise activities on it too. The tasks could be used on the following day. Cross-curricular link - lessons also encourage children to be good team players/good sports.

Three easy to follow lesson PowerPoints to build on children’s learning about how to create an expanded noun phrase. Each PowerPoint also has examples for children to practise. Follow up activities for lessons 1 and 2 (lesson 3 is just on the PowerPoint) - each with 2/3 differentiated levels of work sheet. Focus is on building children’s knowledge to create expanded noun phrases e.g. determiner + adjective (s) + noun + preposition phrase. PowerPoints and work sheets are very visual, with supporting pictures. Included is a preposition phrase mat to support children in writing the preposition phrase. You may also want to work with your class on creating a word bank of adjectives.

6 week medium term plan for a topic on Brazil with key stage 2. There are 29 clearly planned lessons, although you could probably get much more out of these and the topic could easily last longer! This is a heavily geography focused topic. Other subjects include: art, design technology, history, computing, religious education, music and P.E. Lessons are planned to be engaging, whilst developing children's skills. Topics include: the rain forest; deforestation; map work; indigenous tribes; villages; cities; fair trade; carnivals; urban art; percussion instruments; the rubber trade; exploration of religion; and the Olympics. The plan is clearly laid out with learning objectives, key teaching points and questions, activities, differentiation, learning outcomes and the resources you will require.
