15 Powerpoints that you can have on the board as your class enters. Nice easy start to the day. Easily adaptable. Nice bits of Math and English.

A nice little unit on financial planning. Some calculations required for better financial knowledge. Introduce ‘My Money’ week to children. Explain that we are going to spend all week discussing money, using mathematical operations, setting a budget and thinking about how we will deal with money in the future. Activity One Come back together and allow groups to share mind maps. Lead into a discussion on what money is; use online dictionary to look for definition. Come to the conclusion that it is a medium of exchange; we exchange money for goods or services. Make a list on the IWB of things which people use money for. Separate the list by highlighting things which people need and things that they want. TTYP – what is the ‘currency’ of the UK? Explain that it is called sterling and it is split into pounds and pence. Use PPT to check that children recognise all notes and coins of sterling. Activity One Children work in groups to mind map ‘money’. Each group to have three colours –create a key to show things they know, things they think they know and questions they have. If I gave you £1000 right now, what would spend it on? What might you wish you had spent it on in the future? Can the children name any currencies of other countries? (Euro, US dollar, Aus dollar, Yuan China, Rupee India etc)

4 nice bits of planning. 3 notebooks. Plus powerp0ints and worksheets. Science Year 4 Planning Friction Habitats Moving and Growing Serarating Liquids and solids example Sorting organisms Elicit children’s understanding of ‘plant’ and ‘animal’. Introduce the term ‘organism’ as a general term for all living things. Obtain a list of various types of organism and arrange them on the board into loose classes, e.g. birds, mammals, reptiles, shrubs, flowers, trees, moss etc. Finish by putting the classes into either plants or animals. Use pictures of eg vertebrates, invertebrates(animals without a backbone), humans, small flowering plants, trees and challenge children to sort them according to their own criteria and then into plants and animals. Let children choose how to record their groupings. (numbers of legs, wings, no wings, leaves, shape) Introduce the idea of some organisms being in more than one group – show using a venn diagram. See photocopiable – PM1 for pictures of invertebrates. More able children – encourage to sort into sets based upon something more scientific – e.g.how the animal moves, or the shape of the plant. Pose questions – Is it possible for an organism to have wings and not have any legs? Identifying different habitats Introduce children to the word ‘habitat’ using pictures to illustrate meaning. Explain the meaning of ‘habitat’. Explain that it is the natural home of plants and animals and a place which offers them food, protection and shelter. Explain to children that they will be studying local habitats. Go for a walk round the school and/or immediate locality to find and make a list of habitats. (Pond, school field, wooded area, grass, trees) Sketch the habitats as we travel around the school grounds. Review the final list with the children and group habitats of similar scale or diversity together eg pond, field, wood, tree, hedge, flower bed, grassy patch, plant trough, under leaf, under stone. Ask children to record the habitats identified through illustrations.

100 grids. Pupils have to fill in the gaps. The squares all have to add up. These puzzles involve taking away and adding.

Some nice planning. Plenty of questions on this great book. sample Look carefully at the book cover, what do you think this book is going to be about?

Great little lesson or short set of lessons for persuasive writing. Couple of nice powerpoints. Endangered Pandas Pandas are rare today and are protected by law in China. In 1963, the first panda was exhibited in a zoo outside of China. Today, there are more than a dozen pandas in most zoos. Pandas can be seen in zoos in Washington D.C, Mexico City, London, Tokyo, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin. All pandas in zoos are given double names; this is a Chinese custom, which indicates affection. Scientists study the zoo pandas in hope to learn how to save wild pandas from extinction. There are only about 700 to 1000 pandas alive in the world today. Imagine you are one of the scientists that are researching pandas and a philanthropist has come to you and offered you a substantial research grant if you can persuade him that your research deserves. He asks you, “What makes a Panda so special that it should be saved?”…. your response is crucial!!! In both short and extended texts, I can use appropriate punctuation, vary my sentence structures and divide my work into paragraphs in a way that makes sense to my reader. Tools LIT 2-22a Throughout the writing process, I can check that my writing makes sense and meets its purpose. Tools LIT 2-23a I am learning to use language and style in a way which engages and / or influences my reader.

A great month of planning. lots of powerpoints. Pupils have to use persuasive language to make a chocolate bar. sample Adverts will be up on the board. Introduce topic by asking what it is… (5mins)Asked to identify the aim of the advert (using mini whiteboards). Teacher leads discussion through the answers e.g. “what made you think it was that purpose?” (10mins) Then asked to go to tables and work in mixed ability groups to identify the aims of adverts on their tables – recording this info(15mins). Extension work – to write the features as to how they knew it was that purpose. class discussion as to the aims of the adverts – questioning how they know that(5mins)etc Discussion to lead onto ‘who is the intended audience’, again using mini whiteboards at first(5mins), then back to groups to identify the audience of the adverts they had seen before – recording this information(10mins). Discuss the audience – recap with new adverts asking pupils to identify both purpose and audience as plenary. (10mins) Starter – to recap on purpose and audience of adverts quickly on the board, using adverts seen yesterday then new advertisements that weren’t seen yesterday (5mins). Put cadburys cream egg advert on board and ask the children to point out some of its features. Ask questions like ‘what makes this advert stand out’ talk about the colour, the slogan, the brand, the image. Put up some other advertisements and ask them to point out the slogan, talk about how slogans rhyme, have a play on words, are short, use alliteration etc (10mins). Go back to their tables where there will be some recognisable products (coca-cola, mars bar, bouncy ball, yazoo milkshake), where children have to come up with a slogan for each. Extension work – come up with more than one slogan and they have to pick their favourite. (15mins) Children then share their slogans with the rest of the class. Table points for the best. Point out that slogans are in big bold fonts and match the phrase e.g. the Cadbury one is ‘gooey’, Children draw out their favourite slogan on A4 paper – to colour in too (20mins). Children asked to explain why they used certain colours or style of writing for their slogans for that product. (5mins). Homework – find 5 slogans from ads.

Planning for this interesting book. sample Show chn the front cover of The Hodgeheg and say that we will be working on this book. Read blurb on back then ask chn what type of story they think this is? Establish that it is a Quest or Adventure story with a problem, journey and resolution. Ask chn what else the blurb tells us and note their ideas for Working Display notes. (E.g. the main character is Max who is a hedgehog, he has a family and he wants to cross the road…). Explain that today we are going to be Sentence Detectives as we read the story. We are looking for sentences which have adverbs in them. Revise the fact that an adverb modifies a verb, telling us how something was done: She went happily to see her granny. Develop this to talk about fronted adverbials, phrases at the start of a sentence which act like an adverb, telling us how, where or when something is done or happened, e.g. In total silence, the girls tiptoed along the corridor. Comprehension 1/ Grammar 1 Display extract from Hodgeheg (see resources). Read it out loud together. Briefly revise the rules for writing dialogue: (1) Speech marks around direct speech; (2) new speaker = new line; (3) Punctuation (question marks, exclamation marks, commas, full stops) that goes within the speech marks. Point out that if the dialogue finishes but it’s not the end of a sentence, then a comma goes at the end of the dialogue within the speech marks. See resources for marked up example. Then make-up physical signs for each type of punctuation, e.g. speech marks = hands held up, 2 fingers on each hand bent; comma = one finger drawing it in the air; full stop = pointing gesture, etc. Draw a map of the passage together, (look at the example map resource to guide you). Ask chn for suggestions for each element. Spoken language 1
