Hello all!
Here’s a 3-way differentiated resource for getting children into groups of understanding using column subtraction. I use this with my year 3 and 4 children, and they love getting into role to complete it.
The task involves children interviewing for three different jobs in Ancient Egyptian society: High priest, Scholar or Pharaoh. The job they get depends on their answers to the questions- you can discuss that, whilst there was a heirarchy, without people in every role, society wouldn’t exist.
Week 1 of my No-Prep, 6-week How To Train Your Dragon English teaching unit. This week’s focus is on author fact files, research skills, prediction and comprehension.
How to Train Your Dragon is an incredible book to study, and this Pre-Read & Chapter 1 unit pack helps to engage children in the text right from the start. With exciting, attractive and innovative worksheets designed to hook children in to the action from the get go, you can expect children to gain skills in text comprehension, independent research and plot prediction!
Also, my own Guided Reading Approach “AEE” (answer, explain & evidence) is included in this pack, with a 6 page, child-friendly explanation included!
Included in this download:
1 week of planning included in page 3 of the PowerPoint for ease
41-page teaching PowerPoint that breaks down all worksheets & learning

Hi everyone.
This is a powerpoint that I've tweaked from others I've found with my own work on top.
It includes three 1-hour lessons based on
- celebrations (4th july/thanksgiving)
- founding fathers (who and why)
- constitution (what and why)
enjoy!
11 resources for research on broadway, thanksgiving and 4th july.
Works well in an american topic, for obvious reasons, or celebrations around the world for PSHE or RE.

Used when writing descriptions or a sequel to the novel How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, this resource allows children to be creative when writing at length. PDF & Word document versions provided for layout and editing purposes.
How to Train Your Dragon is an incredible book to study, and this 2-pack of resources allows children the space to write their own sequel, present their work neatly and even design their own front and back cover.
This resource could be used as a write-up sheet for character descriptions, as a book layout for writing a sequel or prequel to the story or for writing an in-depth book review.
