A medium term plan for a 6 week unit of tennis, aimed at year 3. Each week looks at a different focus: reactions, grip, returns, under-arm serves, aim and game application. Differentiation is provided (extending in green, supporting in blue).

Sentences for pupils to sort in to two piles (past and present) followed by mild and medium differentiated activities (mild = ticking past or present and identifying the verb. medium = re-writing the sentence in the other tense). The spicy alternative was to write any sentence and then write it in the other tense.

Notebook progression of skills of written multiplication revisiting partitioning skills then using grid method and long multiplication. The notebook includes a dice game which can be presented either in their books or on a sheet of blank grids (also provided).

There are two maths investigations included for extending and deepening understanding.

Lesson starter > matching the activity to the length of time A practical experiment using stopwatches to measure and record a series of events. Plenary > putting lengths of times in the right order (could be used as a starter for second lesson)

Covers national curriculum strands about understanding nutrition and diet. Looks at the different food groups with meal planning activities, making a healthy plate and sorting foods. This was really practical and engaging. We had some deep discussions about food types and the children were confident taking healthy eating beyond 'healthy and unhealthy' into carbohydrates, fats, proteins, sugars etc.

Sea-side themed (fish bubbles, turtle snap, harbour wall bar models) activities and work sheets to support developing of column subtraction starting with subtracting using a place value grid to spotting which number sentences can/can't be done. Activities follow a mild, medium, spicy structure of difficulty displayed by chilli pepper clipart. Also included: a notebook for the progression of skills.

I print these out and laminate them and have them on the child's desk for me to write simple steps for them to complete the task as independently as possible. I also have a large version of it across the bottom of my whiteboard because generally the whole class benefits from it being broken in to manageable steps and it stops them coming up and asking what to do next!
