This writing unit allows for opportunities for four independent writing outcomes all based on content from the classic fiction story, Oliver Twist, including: 1.Diary entry 2.Setting description 3. Extended narrative innovation 4. Non-chronological report The lesson plan and resources included are suitable for Y5/6 children. Included in the pack is a full unit of lesson plans including lesson starters, a modelling Powerpoint to support all of the lessons in the unit as well as the lesson resources. Apart from adding your groups onto planning and adding any specific needs required by your children or the use of your TA, this is a pick up and go unit. Key skills: Expanded noun-phrases, ing openers, modal verbs, complex sentences with relative clauses, blending description. action and dialogue elements and subject/verb agreement. To make life easier, the lessons on the plan are numbered and then this is correlated with numbered Powerpoint slides and the numbered resources. Anything to make teaching life easier! As this was planned for a Y5/6 class, some lessons have two versions of the resource (Y5 and Y6) so that you can tailor/adapt the learning to meet the needs of the children in the class. Enjoy! Feedback is welcomed.

Full unit of work (14 detailed and differentiated lesson plans) for teaching stone age-iron age Britain, including curriculum overview to support cross-curricular planning ideas, a powerpoint to support teaching and a large bulk of resources to support a wide range of activities (writing, food technology, art, DT, science etc) plus some display resources. A must for anyone teaching this for the first time on the new curriculum and for anyone who is looking to save time and to not have to make own resources from scratch! Some resources provided are linked to the popular animated film 'The Croods' which is based on a family living in stone age Britain, I used these in litracy. showing them a short clip from the film (e.g clip of a certain character) and then using this to stimulate creative/descriptive writing in a fun way. There are also lessons linking to science learning objectives to help you cover the 'rocks and soils' unit. As a taster to the planning, the first lesson includes using a mystery box to which children pull images from and discuss ideas about what they are going to be learning about. Another practical lesson provides a carousel of activities which will enable the children to experience what stone age life would be like. In another activity, children learn about tools and are encouraged to work in teams to design and build a tool for a purpose using only resources found in their outdoor school environment! (Brilliant if you have access to a forest school area). Something like this would have been great when I was looking fir ideas but ended up having to make many myself. Please use, reuse and teach on! :)

This is a fully planned and differentiated Topic (Called 'changing worlds' -you don't have to call it this if you don't wish) based on full coverage of Y3 history skills focusing on the learning of Anglo-Saxon Britain. As well as History skills, the planning clearly identifies NC skills for other foundation subjects which are covered in this planning! The planning included a ppt to support chn's visual understanding throughout theme as well as to support you when teaching. Planning covers areas including Anglo-Saxon; - homes - leisure - everyday life/roles - time line skills - significant events (The discovery of Sutton Hoo) - comparisons of how things have changed over time - observing artefacts/using sources to collect information about the past - questioning skills - understanding of how Anglo-Saxons came into power - fossils The planning is very clear to follow. Each activity is differentiated for HA/MA/LA appropriately, however you may of course have to differentiate further depending on the individual needs of children in your class. I have spent a long time planning this topic, using all necessary documents to ensure NC skills and knowledge are being taught to ensure progression! Download and save yourself time!
