Stone Age
Subject: English
Age range: 7-11
Resource type: Unit of work
Three week writing unit for Year 3/Year 4. A fully resourced and differentiated unit including all slides and activities. Drama! Talk! Reading skills! Grammar skills! Organising information in fun and inviting ways! It’s all ready to pick up and use.
I have included the full unit in a zip folder (if you buy, just use the zip!), as you cannot see it all in the preview. The children begin with an assessment task (a cold task) and then spend a week exploring a model text about the Stone Age and learning some key grammar skills for year 3 and 4. They go on to learn about structure and organisation whilst also learning about mammoths! Finally they use all of their new skills to create their own information text about the Iron Age.
The whole 15 lesson unit is full of games and activities focused on these skills:
I can show what I already know about writing an information text
I can ask questions to improve my understanding of the text
I can quickly find information in non-fiction texts
I can use conjunctions (when, before, after, while) to explain when things happen
I can use prepositions (in, on, inside, at, by, during, before, after) to explain when and where
I can spot the key features of information texts
I can use paragraphs to group information
I can use headings and sub-headings to organise an information text
I can present (show) information in different ways
I can use glossaries to check the meaning of words (repair ‘meaning breakdowns’)

Edit: just found the planning sorry!! I thought I could go back and edit my previous review. The planning and resources are amazing as always. So helpful, detailed and well planned, and most helpful is the spag links! Second unit purchased along with the spag games. I wish there was more year 4 planning as it’s the best I’ve found in 6 years
This saved me so much time and effort! Really exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and content. So useful, thank you!
This is an amazing bundle. Very well planned with innovative ideas and games. It has saved me so much time - thank you!
This is a wonderful resource, thank you so much for sharing it. I am new to T4W and your framework and ideas have helped immensely.
This is a really brilliant resource, packed full of very useful resources - I'm enjoying adapting it for my own use. I can't find the Quiz Quiz Trade game that goes with the Improving (Mammoth) Paragraphs with conjunctions and prepositions lesson. Any chance you could upload or send me it please. Thanks so much for this unit of work.
