I’ve included a few in the general upload so you can peruse.

Planning for year 6 Maths. Lots of ideas you can meld into your own school planning. Year 6 is a tough year to teach, so the more material you have, the better. The zip file contains the lot. I’ve put a few in for you to sample. sample Start with A3 sheet on each table – 1 minute to write down any vocabulary, phrases, methods or information linked to addition. Come back together, take feedback and put on working wall. Refer to targets to make children aware that some of them have addition related targets. Discuss methods used for addition. Show Y6 calculation policy and discuss column addition. Show 7648 + 1486 Solve using column addition – compose success criteria whilst solving. Repeat with 1489 + 71 + 3 + 561 Emphasise importance of place value columns and presentation – talk about ‘carrying’. Whole School Mass 11am LO Improve efficient recall of mental maths. SUCCESS CRITERIA N/A Test 11am – 11.10am Self mark and strategies 11.10am to 11.30am - fill in mental maths record sheet at back of each maths book. Final 45 minutes (allow a few minutes for a plenary) – split class into three groups. Carousel activity: Octagon group to go into science area with HM for 30 minute session towards their target; adding and subtracting negative numbers. Group 1: Hexagons (1) and Isabel, Eleanor and Dan O from Hex (2) Group 2: Rest of Hex (2) plus Pentagons (1) Group 3: Pentagons (2) plus triangles. LO Add decimals up to 3dp using the column method. Add numbers with differing numbers of decimal places. SUCCESS CRITERIA Add to yesterday’s in a different colour. Revise use of column method. Show 15.8 + 23.3 and model for working wall whilst emphasising the importance of the decimal point not moving. Show problem: I spend £46.78 in one shop and £27.45 in another. How much did I spend in total? Use column. Show 7.9 + 5.82, model use of 0 on the end of the 9 to make them the same number of dp. Refer octagons to their target.

Planning for the year. Literacy Year 6 I particularly like the 4 week sats revision block. Zip file contains loads. sample planning ; Full range of punctuation used accurately to demarcate sentences, including speech punctuation • Syntax and punctuation within the sentence generally accurate including commas to mark clauses. To revise and produce a piece of journalistic writing. Revise formal & persuasive writing. Whole Class Shared Learning Explain that the next four weeks are important revision sessions. Define the word ‘revision’ and display on the working wall. In their new groups, children to define the following words, definitions on post it notes: Journalist Communication Bias Balanced Come back together and discuss, agree definitions. Would we find journalistic writing anywhere else other than in a newspaper report? Recap that we may find it in magazines or journals as well as scripts for radio and TV news broadcasts. How does journalistic writing differ from ‘personal’ writing? Formal tone, 3rd person, balanced, in journalistic writing a person puts the main points in the first sentence of the first paragraph – what will grab a person’s attention. This is followed by the rest of the details and written so that the article can easily be edited from the bottom up, if the article needs shortening. Sources are mentioned within the text and sentences and paragraphs can be short. Read the ‘Total Eclipse’ article from Essential Non-fiction and discuss. Draw out the 5 Ws. Now read ‘Packaging: The Big Cover Up’ also from Essential non-fiction. Activity One Come back together and discuss activity. What did the children find about the two articles? What are the similarities? Differences? How have the writers used language to report/persuade?

Great planning for year 5. Plenty to keep you going for three solid weeks. Powerpoints, planning, worksheets etc etc The zip has the lot. I have put up some on the ordinary download so you can look. Sample planning : Genre: Narrative Unit 3 – ‘Stories from other cultures’ Focus Texts: ‘Abela’ by Berlie Doherty (class reader), ‘The day of Ahmed’s secret’ by Florence Parry Heide, ‘Stories from around the world’ Usborne books. Objectives Primary Framework Phase 1 • Create roles showing how behaviour can be interpreted from different viewpoints • Know and apply common spelling rules • Infer writers’ perspectives from what is written and from what is implied • Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured • Experiment with different narrative form and styles to write their own stories Adapt sentence construction to different text-types, purposes and readers Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophes. Learning/Writing outcome for unit: Write a story from a different character’s point of view. Reflect on writing critically and edit it against success criteria. LO: Whole Class Shared Learning Guided and Independent Activities: Plenary: M Understand and use the word ‘culture’. Begin to recognise the features of a story from another culture. Show the words ‘narrative’ and ‘fiction’. Children to TTYP and talk about what they mean. Come back together and elicit that they are words for ‘story’. We are going to be studying a narrative unit for two weeks. Briefly recap the five structural features of a story. What types of stories have we studied so far? (Myths, legends and stories by a significant author). Show the word ‘culture’. Children to TTYP and discuss. Come back together and explain that a culture refers to “the attitudes and behaviour that are characteristic of a particular social group.” Emphasise that we are not necessarily talking about different religions or even other countries – there are a lot of different cultures even within one country. Lead to class discussion. Provide children with copies of ‘The Day of Ahmed’s Secret’ – explain that this story is from Africa. Ahmed lives in a city called Cairo – the capital of Egypt. Show on a map. Have we heard anything about Cairo in the news recently? Read half of the story and then challenge children to discuss on their tables: The features of the story. Their predictions about Ahmed’s secret. Come back together, read the rest of the story and discuss. How is Ahmed’s life different from your lives? In his culture it is perfectly normal for children to be working very hard and taking over the family business from his Father. What does his pride at being able to write his own name suggest about his level of education? About his place in society? Create a working wall list of features to include: Capital letters used at the start of each sentence and full stops at the end.

Loads of great planning : Genre: Traditional stories, fables, myths, legends. Focus Texts: Robin Hood (Legend), Hercules (Myth) and Pandora’s Box (Myth). Objectives Primary Framework 7. Understanding and interpreting texts  Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured  Explore how writers use language for comic & dramatic effects 8. Engaging with and responding to texts  Compare the usefulness of techniques such as visualisation, prediction and empathy in exploring the meaning of texts 11. Sentence structure and punctuation  Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophe Learning/Writing outcome for unit: Children can write a new version of a legend, identifying their audience and adapting their writing to suit this audience. Children can reflect on their own performances. Children can reflect critically on their own writing and edit and improve it. Introduce the new unit and look at the writing outcome displayed on the working wall – explain that we have three weeks to achieve this. Allow children two minutes to TTYP and talk about the new unit – do they have any ideas about myth, legends or fables? Introduce the LO for today. Work through the PowerPoint on the features of a myth. Activity One Come back together and create a ‘post it’ note checklist for the working wall, to include: A myth is about gods and goddesses It is set in ancient times It features danger/revenge It includes use of magical powers It uses powerful imagery Characters are heroes Explains a strange/important happening It features strange, frightening creatures Read the following version of ‘Pandora’s Box’ and compare & contrast: Activity Two Recap on what we learned yesterday. What did you think of the texts we looked at? Remind the children of ‘Pandora’s Box’. Who is it aimed at? Why? What is the story about? Children to summarise the main points in pairs. Discuss the features of a myth. Activity One Come back together and discuss the activity. Explain that we are now going to identify the features of a fable: Introduce and discuss ‘Aesop’s fables’ A fable is a complete story Clever/amusing Quite short Uses animals as main characters Treats animals as people Includes a moral at the end Create a checklist for the working wall.

Great 4 weeks planning for this Literacy topic. Really nice powerpoints. Plus free bonus. Plenty of argument planning using Olympics. Example planning :  Identify and discuss the various features of a fiction text, including characters, settings, themes and dilemmas, the author’s intentions, the structure and organisation of the text and the way language is used to create effects on the reader. Speaking  Use the techniques of dialogic talk to explore ideas, topics or issues. Creating and shaping texts  Set their own challenges to extend achievement & experience in writing. Understanding and interpreting texts  Understand how writers use different structures to create coherence and impact. Text structure and organisation  Use varied structures to shape and organise text coherently Sentence structure and punctuation  Express subtle distinctions of meaning, including hypothesis, speculation and supposition, by constructing sentences in varied ways  Use punctuation to clarify meaning in complex sentences To produce several pieces of writing based around the focus text. To learn and identify the features of a formal/impersonal text and comment on occasions where this may be necessary. To produce a formal letter, speech and broadcast using appropriate form, features and content. Remind children of last week’s immersion into the focus text. TTYP – what did you think of the text? If you could talk to the author, what would you say to him? Ask him? Display a ‘Likes/Dislikes/Patterns/Questions’ board on the whiteboard. Explain that we are going to focus on the ‘patterns’ section today. Re-read the last few pages of the book and add ‘false endings’ to the patterns section. Have some photocopied pages from the book in the centre of the tables (each table to have different pages). Give groups ten minutes to note any patterns they see on whiteboards. Come back together and note on the board to include: False endings. Simile Lucy asking her Mother, Father and brother for advice, always in that order. Adjectives for the noises she hears. Alliteration and onomatopoeia. Phrase “You know what they say…” Appearance of pig puppet. What effect do these patterns have on the reader? They give the text fluency, a rhythm almost like a poem. They make the text easier to read and digest. The repetition also mimics the repetition of Lucy’s pleas to her family to listen to her about the noises. They make the reader frustrated on Lucy’s behalf. Have one child write a definition of ‘atmosphere’ on a sentence strip for the working wall. A general feeling or mood. There are a few different atmospheres in this book. Discuss. List tension, frustration, relief etc on the board.

Three weeks great planning. Don’t expect lessons on Charlie. It’s report writing in English using Charlie with powerpoints etc Great powerpoints Zip file has more. I’ve put some example stuff on to give you a flavour. Introduce the new unit and read the writing outcome with the children. Complete a skills audit verbally. TTYP – what skills do you already have that will help you to achieve the outcome? What skills do you think you will need to revise? Are there any completely new skills you will need? Introduce the focus text. We know a lot about Roald Dahl from our biography unit. Has anyone ever read ‘Charlie…’? Seen the films? Explain that we need to know the story line and the characters, so we are going to spend today’s lesson using the 2005 film as a visual text. The rest of the week will be spent comparing the visual text to the written text and completing various activities and pieces of writing. Become familiar with the story by using a visual text. Use both visual and written texts to analyse character and setting descriptions. Finish any of the DVD which we didn’t finish yesterday. Use the written text to read the character descriptions of Charlie, his parents, grandparents and the four other winners of golden tickets. Activity One Come back together, discuss and put information on working wall. Repeat with setting descriptions. Look at a still of Charlie’s house from the film and read the setting description for it. Look at the still from the ‘meadow’ in the chocolate factory and read the description on pages 87-90. Activity Two Revise features of journalistic writing. Compose a newspaper article using the correct form and language. Working in pairs, children to sketch a story mountain onto a whiteboard. Children to then summarise ‘Charlie…’ using one or two sentences for each section of the mountain. Come back together and discuss. Read chapter five of the text. What main event is happening? The announcement of the golden ticket competition. Watch 14:28 – 15:44 – how does the film embellish the details given in the book? Explain today’s task, you are a senior news reporter for the ‘International Herald’ a newspaper which is published in many different countries, many different languages all over the world. Your editor has asked you to write a newspaper article about this event. Your report will be published the day after Willy Wonka’s signs went up. You will be reporting on the competition, the prizes and the mania sweeping the world. TTYP – what are main features of a journalistic piece of writing? Come back together and list for the working wall: Headline, paragraphs, subheadings, quotations, orientation, 5 ws, past tense, direct, formal, balanced etc. Brainstorm some headlines for our article. List the 5 Ws on the working wall. Give each child a checklist and an inverted pyramid.

Tons of great planning, worksheets, powerpoints to help you in year 6 Maths. With SATS you need a ton of material to help you through. Here it is. I’ve combined my planning for two schools to give you max value. The zip file contains the lot. I’ve included a sample in the general download so you can look. The schools used Abacus/Maths on Target/Target Maths, but don’t worry if you do not have these. There are loads of lessons that you can adapt for your school. I think the revision weeks I’ve done are particularly good.
