We are ExcitEd to share a fabulous literacy lesson for KS1. Focusing on developing children’s knowledge and correct use of sentences and creating a class book linked to the Usborne touchy feely book ‘That’s Not My Dragon.’ This approximately 1hr stand-alone lesson, has been planned for children working in Year 1 and using the National Curriculum. Although, it would also be suitable for year 2 classes in need of support with accurate sentence writing. TAF statements have been used to differentiate this lesson for children working towards, at the expected level or at greater depth. This download includes: A detailed lesson plan with links to the National Curriculum. A PowerPoint presentation to support the lesson. Printable sentence building cards for use in the main part of the lesson. A printable book page template / Worksheets - differentiated Support Materials - Differentiated word banks and sentence builder cards. Printable dragon colouring images. The objective of this lesson is for all children to write accurate sentences about their own dragons. Most children will then extend their simple sentences with ‘and’ and some will create compound sentences using ‘but’ and ‘so’. The main teaching of the lesson starts with an adult led reading of ‘That’s Not My Dragon’ with the reveal of the teacher’s dragon at the end of the book. This acts as a hook for the lesson. During the lesson, the rules for sentence writing are reviewed and then children are asked to help physically create sentences about the teacher’s dragon using sentence building cards. (Included). To accompany and enhance the lesson a PowerPoint presentation is included. All visuals have dyslexia friendly styling, with a clear and simple format. The lesson plan has also been broken down alongside each corresponding PPT slide in the notes to support lesson delivery. To create your class book, a page template is included. 2 versions, each with a dragon image to colour, but one version with a sentence starter already included and the other without the sentence starter and more space for children to write. Alternatively, separate dragon colouring images are also included if you wish for children’s writing and colouring to be done separately. In their independent work, children working towards the expected standard are supported with a word bank and sentence building cards, similar to the class activity. Support materials are also included for children working at the expected level or at greater depth. These are appropriately differentiated to include a wider range of vocabulary and conjunctions and can be used at your discretion We have found this to be a fun lesson with a fantastic outcome that children often like to revisit when in the class library.

Children must add, subtract, divide or multiply a start number to attempt to make 100 or stop anyone else making 100. Children will be given ‘an email’ from a local council asking them to plan a fantastic fireworks display to celebrate an upcoming national event. What an exciting opportunity! In the form of an email from a council events department, children will be given a brief. This sets out details of a budget and length of time that their display must be along with any special requirements which could make this activity more challenging. Along with the email, each team will be given a fireworks price list and a planning sheet. These handouts will support the children in planning their displays and completing the task. Included is also a follow up email from each council which can be used as an extension activity, asking children to calculate prices in discounts are added, or ticket prices for the event. The plenary ends the session with a review of questions about planning a fireworks display.
