These engaging, challenging debates fit into the new OFSTED framework, looking for emphasis on debate. Drawing upon reading, speaking and listening skills, these lessons have proven to be a huge hit with my Year 5 and 6 children!
All resources (including starters) included, including a link to the abridged and original text online. Through debate, comprehension and smaller written tasks, this frameworks a strong written outcome-
great for y5-6. Assessed several times in some 'outstanding' lessons, this was the most successful series of lessons I've made in a long time, and the results were some fantastic written stories at the end!
I’ve included a range of subjects to start the day, combining curricular objectives with holistic life skills. I use these regularly with my class and they love it!
Using famous artworks, the children discuss the art and its producers, learning about the context of great works of art. They explain their opinions and write reflections before producing art. This has been shown to improve written and spoken English in my classes.
I’ve used this as art lead to show my staff how to teach art in KS2. I’ve used Van Gogh as an example here to show hoe I would create a unit of work from his work, Cafe at Night.
