Thankyou for looking at my resource. Summary of learning objectives and task Lesson 1 L.O To generate ideas for a character description Children will design six aliens and choose their favourite. Lesson 2 L.O To use adjectives to describe a character Children will use their senses to write adjectives about their alien. Lesson 3 L.O To use adjectives to describe a characters personality. Children will write attributes to describe their alien. Lesson 4 L.O To write a character description. Children will write a description of their alien. All lessons start with children solving a problem that can only be solved using the LO. e.g identifying a picture through a sentence that doesn’t contain expanded adjectives so it is impossible to identify the picture.Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding.

Children will start by reflecting on prior learning. Children will be provided with a brief overview of what mining is and the importance of it to the Victorian era. Children will then start to explore the general impact of mining,before using the 1842 commission report to identify how mining impacted children. They will finally will look at the impact on Nottinghamshire. Children will write their own report.

The lesson starts with children exploring the concept of chronology. Children will look at how chronology is displayed using a time line and recap on AC and BC. Children will then go on to explore key Victorian vocabulary that may be new to children such as reign. Children will be taught the start and end dates of the Victorian era. As a class children will order some of the key events on a time line they will use a range of skills such as comparing the dates to other key events as well as clues from prior/future events. Children will be challenged to think about what is the most common type of event such as the advancement of technology. Independent application - children to create a time line of key events.

In this resource children will focus on the importance of a noun in a sentence. Children will do a variety of carefully thought out small step tasks to build up their understanding of what a noun is and how to apply nouns to sentences.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is the first 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. In this lesson children will start by completing a number of tasks which remind them of their prior learning from year 1. This will provide an opportunity for the teacher to make a quick assessment of any learning which needs recapping on. This will also ensure that prior learning is at the forefront of children’s mind to make sense of their new learning. Children will start by thinking abut humans. To avoid misconceptions children are guided to think how they have changed since being a child/ will change as well as differences between themselves and other children. It will be established that although there are many differences humans look like humans. This will lead into children making a prediction about all animals looking like their offspring. Children will investigate this independently by matching offspring to their adult. 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.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will not only be writing prepositions but also developing a clear understanding of what exactly a preposition is. Children will start with a warm up task identifying the nouns in a festive picture. Children will then play a where’s wally style game with a snowman which will lead on to children spotting that the commonality of prepositions. Prepositions will be defined however a child friendly version will be established. Children will identify the two nouns relating to the snowman and then identify the preposition. Children will do this a number of times to establish their understanding. Children will move on to independently writing the preposition for various items on a snowman. Helping hands - Children will choose the appropriate preposition. Chilli Challenge - Children will make a snowman and write instructions containing a preposition to instruct a friend how to make theirs.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This unit uses the story of Jack and the Beanstalk to not only engage learners/provide a fun theme but importantly enhance scientific understanding through investigations such as is a beanstalk a tree? In this unit children will be given a mystery seed from the bean seller in the story (teacher’s choice) and will every week use their increasing knowledge to investigate what the plant is. The story will be embedded in other areas of the unit for instance children will use reasoning to decide if a beanstalk is a tree. A ppt of 20+ slides is provided for every lesson and a word document of resources is provided including an overview of what teachers need to prepare in advance. Each lesson gives children an opportunity to reflect on their plant with questions that adapt based on their knowledge of the unit. A good example of this is in week four, children will be asked if they think their mystery seed is a tree. In lesson 1 the story of Jack and the Beanstalk is provided alongside the lesson slides. The aim of this unit is to limit the preparation needed for the teacher. The lesson slides can be picked up and taught fully from either by a teacher with a solid understanding of the prior and future learning of a given class or by a teacher who may be covering an isolated lesson. The lessons are fully editable allowing teachers to edit based on individual class needs. Lesson 1 -To describe and compare seeds, bulbs and plants. Lesson 2 - To name and compare the parts of plants. Lesson 3 - To name and identify common garden and wild plants. Lesson 4 - To name and identify common trees. Lesson 5 - To name and identify common fruit and vegetable plants. Every lesson starts with a rewind task. These are varied and provide an opportunity for the teacher to quickly asses what children have remembered and any potential gaps in knowledge. This also puts relevant prior learning in the forefront of children’s minds ready to apply to new knowledge . This then starts the effective build up of learning through carefully designed small steps. Children are actively involved in their learning throughout with opportunities to reflect, talk with a partner as well as engage in whole class discussions. Reasoning and oracy opportunities are embedded throughout. With stem sentences provided to ensure children are able to eloquently express their understanding and focus on the science. Lessons are designed to ensure all learners are on the ‘journey’ together. Helping hands provide additional support to ensure children are accessing the main learning where as chilli challenges aim to expand/challenging children’s learning with open ended exercises. Challenges are provided to all learners. The ’ differentiation ’ is based on how children access the challenge. Vocabulary is explicitly taught and is repeated throughout the unit to ensure embedded learning.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is the fourth 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 what will happen to the old play park. This will lead onto children learning about landfill. Children will think of ideas to stop the play park going into landfill. Leading on from this the teacher will introduce children to recycling and their experiences of recycling. The example of plastic will be given to show the process of recycling. Children will create a comic strip showing the process of recycling plastic. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This lesson sequence provides a really nice assessment opportunity. Lesson 1 - Children will listen to the story of Goldilocks and then acted out the story. Children will not only reflect on the story but also will think about how we perform e.g using different voices for different characters. Lesson 2 - Children will be introduced to the idea of motive (in a very ks1 friendly manner) Children will think of ideas for what motivated Goldilocks to enter The Three Bears house. Lesson 3 - Using the story map used to support their performances in lesson one children will think about how the story will need to changed when the motive has changed. Children will be guided through adapting the story map plan. Lesson 4- Children will be writing their story. Children will be supported using a story map to write their story and will also be actively encouraged to uplevel their work. A teacher modelled example is provided for the first two parts of the plan children will discuss with a partner what techniques they can see the teacher has used.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This powerpoint contains 25 spelling starters with a variety of tasks to help build children’s confidence in their exception words.

This is the first lesson in a sequence. 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. Independent application - Children will have 5 posters showing different animals and find an animal that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Helping hands - Support teacher ‘expert’ group. Chilli challenge - Children to be given an opportunity to think further about individual animals.

Thank you for looking at my resource. 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. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.
