Please find attached a format for a Stunning Start based around a sustainable fashion unit (Year 5). It comes complete with success criteria and templates.
Within this resource, you will find a weeks worth of activities for students to investigate the link between music and sustainability. The activities are as follows:
Investigating the link between Music and Sustainability by creating a PEE paragraph using articles.
Student-led inquiry into bands and what they are doing to support a sustainable future (band options and links have been provided so that it is age appropiate)
Lyric video project - learners will then take some lyrics from their chosen artist and edit them to have a sutainability focus. They will then record a lyric video, using their adapted lyrics, in IMovie (or another video editing software). All instructions, lyrics and MP4’s are provided.

The attached documents formed part of a video project for Year 5 history. Learners had to research one of the mistakes in the infographic, then complete the planning sheet and use green screen technology to produce a video. The rubric is also included.
This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’
Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse.
Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt).
Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets.
Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7.
Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’
Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
Rubric to support KS3/KS4 PETAL (Point, evidence, technique, analysis, link) writing on effect and emotive language in text analysis. The link is made back to readers emotions.
Can be adapted to support link back to question where needed.
