British Science Week Planning Great Resource Primary School All Years year 4 esp
If you are thinking of running a Science week, this is for you.
A plan on how to have a whole week of Science for all Primary years.
Great hyperlinks and you can adapt for your school.
This will save you a lot of time.
I have great Science units. Please have a look.
Science Week
Why are we running the event?
For fun and to motivate children and staff
Raise the profile of science
Inform parents
Encourage involvement in science
Celebrate the science of the school
Raise awareness of practical science activities related to the national curriculum.
Promote outdoor learning
When and for how long will the event be?
Science week will take place during afternoon sessions from Monday 10th June – Friday 14th June, but any links to morning sessions of Numeracy or Literacy are encouraged!
What will the theme of the event be?
INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERY
Inventions are important factors in our everyday lives. Children need to understand that without people thinking of better ways to do things, or making contraptions to make work easier, life would be much different for us today and in the future!
Discovery This part of our theme will allow children the opportunity to answer ‘what if?’ questions! Discoveries are something new! Something we didn’t know about before. So they are, of course, important because they bring something new into society; it could be new knowledge, a new invention, a new scientific concept, a new idea, anything!!
Possible Activities:
• Demonstrations/hands on workshops for children
• Challenges for the children to tackle at home or in school
• Outdoor learning – Encourage opportunities for outdoor learning
• Enquiry investigations
Children are given an opportunity to focus on a full scale enquiry, without the worries of teaching, but the emphasis is on being a scientist, and enquiring.
• Quizzes
Paper based quiz for children to research at school or at home or a treasure hunt around school to find the quiz questions, with answers appearing later.
• Problem solving activities
Using science knowledge to overcome a problem
• Displays
Display photos of activities as they take place. Where possible create interactive displays in common areas that all children can explore.
• Joint planning
Year groups can plan joint activities that link with science topics.

Great Year 5 English Literacy Christmas Planning Alternative Christmas
This is some great planning for Christmas for Year 5 Literacy.
I found the kids loved it.
Advantages for you: kids are interested, it’s non religious so can be shown to everyone, you can watch the lovely short movie umpteen times so takes the strain off you.
It’s based on a great little movie, voiced by the late great John Hurt.
It will fill up the last two to three weeks nicely.
Plus there’s non literacy planning for free.
Some example planning :
To analyse and create a character and setting description for 23 Degrees 5 Minutes North.
I can express verbally what a character may be feeling, thinking or doing
I can explain why I think a character may feel, think or do something
I can describe a setting using figurative language
Starter 5 mins
Pen portrait of key characters in 23 Degrees 5 Minutes North: Children mind map/annotate information about the key characters that they know so far around an image of The Adventurer and Professor Erit. They add information about the internal feelings, thoughts and emotions within and the external information such as physical description, or known facts
Activity 1 5-10 mins
Use key questions and discussion in groups to think about answers to questions such as: Why am I here? Will I be able to find Professor Erit? Emphasise the importance of chn giving evidence to support their opinion when they give a response to these questions.
Activity 10 mins
Return to image of the Adventurer and Professor Erit. Using a different coloured pencil, chn should add information about these characters
Main 20 mins
Give chn an image of the setting and ask them to mind-map descriptive words, phrases or sentences they could use to describe the narrative setting.
Model using the different kinds of sentence-types to record a setting description, using the vocabulary recorder in the mind-map. Chn use sentences to build suspense if they can.
Plenary 5 – 10 mins
Chn share their comments about the Adventurer and Professor Erit with the class.
Chn to explain what they have now learnt about each character - using their skills of inference. Share best sentences to describe setting.
Take a moment to add any extra information after the class discussion to their own work, using another coloured pencil.

Religion Story of the People of God Lots of Planning Catholic Flavour
Lots of great planning.
The unit covers:
Start to understand the structure of the Bible.
Research some different styles of writing found in the Bible.
Discuss some of the important figures in the OT and understand why and how they had a special relationship with God.
Analyse The story of the fall.
Know the story of Cain and Abel.
Relate the story to our relationships with friends and family.
Know the story of Manna from Heaven. (Exodus 16: 1-18)
Understand why God provided for the needs of his people.
Empathise with all involved.
Explain how we can show our love for God through our obedience of the ten commandments.
Sample planning :
Introduce the new unit to the children and explain that, through this five week unit of RE, we will be learning about some of the different styles of literature found in the Bible. We will also be learning about some significant people from the Old Testament and their relationship with God.
Introduce the LO.
Display the word ‘ancestors’ on the board and children to TTYP and discuss the meaning of the word.
Take feedback from class.
Share meaning and address any misconceptions.
Children to think about stories that they know about their family and the ancestors that went before them. Talk about people who research their family tree – they are researching their ancestors. The people who came before them. Discuss the program ‘Who do you think you are?’ on BBC 1. Show the opening credits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeWuSgiqHI
Discuss the title of the program. Don’t these celebrities already know who they are? They know their own names, their dates of birth, their parents’ names: what else are they looking for?
Discuss how a knowledge of where we have come from, might help us to understand or plan where we need to go to.
Bring this back to the Bible. The Bible is a library of books which gives us information about our ancestors – the people of God.
Explain to the children that the Bible contains the story of the Jewish people in the Old Testament and is the foundation of the story of the Christian people in the New Testament.
Revise work from Year 4 about the Bible being a library of books rather than just one book. (Use the ‘books of the Bible’ slide on PPT). Ch to count up how many books in the Bible – 39 in OT, 27 in NT – 66 in total

Science Interdependence Adaptation Food Chains Planning Year 5 and 6
Massive amount of planning.
Over a dozen powerpoints.
More than six documents.
More than a dozen word documents.
Example planning :
Pose the question – when we go into the supermarket, how can you find the things you want to buy?
Lead into a discussion about how similar things are put together. If you want apples, you go to the fruit and veg section; if you want ice cream you go to the freezer. It saves time and makes the shopping easier.
Scientists do a similar thing with living organisms. There are so many varied plants and animals, scientists need to keep dividing them into smaller groups to identify them.
How would they do this? What would they look for?
Explain that they look for similarities and differences to put the plants and animals into groups.
Explain that we talk about the ‘plant kingdom’ and the ‘animal kingdom’.
Animal Kingdom – how many different species of animals do the children think are on Earth? Take estimates.
800 000
They can be broadly broken into Vertebrates and Invertebrates.
Vertebrates have a backbone.
Invertebrates do not.
What group do humans fit into?
Activity One
Use PowerPoint to talk through each group and their characteristics.
