A collection of 6 fact file writing frames - one for each of the key brass instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar, and harp. Writing frames include 6 prompter questions with lines underneath to help students structure and focus their fact file. There is space to provide an image. Prompter questions focus around key features of the instruments and their sound, history of the instruments, description of the instruments, then finish with more reflective questions, encouraging children to think creatively and form opinions. This resource is a great example of cross-curricular working, allowing students to develop knowledge on a specific topic whilst furthering their literacy skills in a proactive fashion. It combines student’s critical thinking with creative thinking and knowledge-based learning.

Designed as a lesson to introduce younger children to conjunctions. The lesson provides a simple explanation of what a conjunction does. The lesson focuses on four different conjunctions: and, because, but, so. It shows children what each of these conjunctions mean and shows examples of how they can be used in sentences. The lesson takes the form of a highly interactive presentation that is structured in four chunks as follows: What is a conjunction? Examples of conjunctions (introduced to the 4 chosen conjunctions) Using (four-chosen) conjunctions in sentences Activities By using just 4 conjunctions, it is hoped that younger children will develop a basic understanding and competency of conjunctions and how to apply them to their writing without becoming overly confused or overwhelmed. This lesson helps to introduce younger children to the principles of conjunctions in sentences, so they can later progress onto to using more advanced conjunctions with minimal difficulties, drawing on the foundational understanding gained in this lesson. The lesson is highly interactive and students are encouraged to take an active role in their own learning. It is certainly not a lesson to sit and listen too. Students are asked questions throughout and encouraged to problem-solve to come up with their own solutions; the lesson offering its own solutions for reference as it progresses. Throughout the lesson aims to be applicable to wider literacy skills, writing, and real-life skills. Showing children examples of conjunctions in sentences occurs throughout the lesson, with the third section showing multiple step-by-step processes of how sentences can be constructed with conjunctions. Every time a sample sentence is provided, the topic of the sentence is always something relevant and appropriate for younger children for example sentences about animals, food, the beach, games etc. The final section of the lesson includes four suggested activities. These take the form of games to add a physical element to the lesson. Games include musical corners and a listening game. There is also a short, simple rhyme included at the end to help children remember what a conjunction is and the examples they’ve looked at. Colour and subtle animations are used throughout to aid memory and provide aesthetic interest. A worksheet pack is also available from this author’s shop which would accompany this lesson, however this is not compulsory. There is enough content within this resource to be a standalone lesson, therefore, removing the need for any worksheet based activities.

**Lesson three in a 6-part unit of work on musical instruments and instrumental families. ** This lesson covers the brass family. HOWEVER This lesson can work as a stand-alone teaching resource for introducing students to brass instruments and does not need to be used in conjunction with other lessons in the lesson series The aim of this unit of work is to enable children to learn about music and musical instruments without the requirement of any specialist music teacher, prior musical knowledge, or practical music resources like instruments. This lesson covers the brass family. The following topic areas are covered in the lesson: recap of instrumental families, introduction to brass family and brass instruments, walk-through of individual brass instruments, comparing brass instruments. The trumpet, trombone, French Horn, euphonium, baritone, and tuba are discussed in this lesson. The lesson is structured as a detailed presentation. Questions are asked throughout to help engage students’ attention and allow them to have an active part in their learning. Activities are also involved in the lesson to help students consolidate their knowledge. Activities include the following: mind map activity hot-seating/interview activity poster-making/ advertising activity written fact-file activity Creative design activity The presentation has 43 slides. Depending on the needs of the pupils and length of the lesson, this lesson could be broken-down into 2 or 3 separate lessons. If breaking the lesson into 2, I would recommend commencing lesson 2 from ‘comparing brass instruments’. If breaking the lesson down into 3 separate lessons, I would recommend commencing lesson 2 from the walk-through of individual brass instruments, and lesson 3 from ‘comparing brass instruments’. Colour is used throughout to aid memory. Animations and transitions are used throughout to engage attention but they are used subtly so as to not become overwhelming or overstimulating.
