Hi, I am Lizzie a primary teacher with 10+ years of experience. I love teaching but the thing I hate is that Sunday becomes a work day. I believe that all teachers deserve to rest on Sunday. For the benefit of themselves and their students. Hence the creation of Teachers Love Sundaes.
The resources I create can be picked up and taught straight from. All lessons include key vocabulary, rewind , active learning throughout, problem solving generated learning , stem sentences and so much more !

Thankyou for looking at my resource.
This is the second lesson in a sequence . The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons or the previous lesson. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable.
Children will be designing a new play park. They will complete a number of tasks to ensure they have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and their previous lesson on material uses. This will also ensure that this prior learning is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning.
Children will discuss with a partner whether paper would be a ‘good’ material for a slide. This will lead into the introduction of the concept of suitability.
The first task children will complete will involve identifying all materials that would be suitable for an object. Children will build up to completing an independent task.
Children will return as a class to look at how the object’s exact use can change which material is most suitable. Children will look at a number of scenarios and discuss which material would be most suitable.
Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks.
The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.
Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Children will be designing a new play park. Children will be shown two play parks and will think about which park they would rather play at. Children will be provided with a stem sentence to improve oracy.
Using the play park children will complete a number of tasks to ensure children have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and that it is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning.
Children will identify the materials used at the play park, differentiate between the object and the material and finally think about why certain materials have been used at the playpark based on their properties.
Children will move on to identifying the uses of different materials throughout the school.
Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.
Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. Each lesson includes a powerpoint and accompanying resources. The lessons can be picked up and taught from however provide the freedom to edit based on individual needs.
Lesson 1
Children will be working to help Zack the Zookeeper.
Children will start the lesson by recapping on their prior learning via a game of which is an animal out of two choices. Children will then be taught a definition of animal. This will be applied to a number of tasks to ensure the meaning is embedded.
Children will be introduced to Zack the Zookeeper. All lessons are based on learning generated from problem solving. Children will learn that Zack has done a number of things wrong but the issue is the task doesn’t name the animals e.g giving dog food to the animals.
Children will be shown a number of animals grouped into the 5 main animal groups. This will support learning in the next lesson where children will be defining the five main animal groups.
Lesson 2
In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by playing spot the difference. This will encourage children to recall animal names and groups.
Children will then be reminded of the five different animal groups.
Children will be working with Zack the zookeeper who will think that all amphibians are the same. Using whole class investigation children will identify what is the same and what is different.
Children will build up to independently comparing similarities and differences between animal groups and at the end of the lesson will be provided with definitions of the main groups.
Lesson 3
In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by recapping on the definition of animal and matching the animal group to the description.
Children will reflect on what animals need to survive which will lead into being informed that Zack the zookeeper thinks that all animals eat the same thing. Children will discuss whether they agree or disagree with this.
Children will be shown a number of animals diets and will reflect whether it is possible to remember all of the individual diets of the over 1.2 million animals that exist.
Children will be introduced to carnivore, herbivore and omnivore as well a small task to ensure that children understand what is meant by meat and plant type foods.
Further to this a discussion will be had about humans and those that follow a vegan/vegetarian/other diet.
Children will build up to independently identifying whether an animal is carnivore,herbivore or omnivore based on their diet.
Lesson 4
Children will start the lesson recapping on their prior learning in the unit through a variety of parter and whole class quick tasks.
Children will be given a number of choices through a discussion of would you rather?
Children will look at how the choices relate to the senses. They will be provided with a clear definition of senses and consolidate this by identifying which sense was most important in their choices.
Children will look at Zack the Zookeeper and a map of the zoo and identify how Zack experiences the zoo through his senses.
Lesson 5
The lesson will start with children recapping on prior learning.
Children will label parts of Zack the Zookeepers body with their partner. This will lead onto a discussion about what parts of the body are there for. Children will reflect on Zack’s view that he only needs his arms and hands for the zoo.
As a class children will discuss different body parts and what their uses are.
Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.
Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Helping hands - Support teacher ‘expert’ group.
Chilli challenge - Children to be given an opportunity to think further about individual animals.
