Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and the PPT with most of the texts we used on it. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat. These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar as a starting point. Hope it helps :)

Hi there, I'm RE coordinator and a Year 3 class teacher. I've previously uploaded my long term/whole school RE coverage break down and objectives for each year group. This is our planning for RE week/Autumn -2 comprehension sessions on festivals (as part of our shared reading in the morning) -5 English lessons (on holy books) -2 learning challenge sessions (making mosaics) -1 longer food tasting session (in our Science weekly slot) This was not created for TES and are the actual plans we used but hopefully it still makes sense to outside eyes - useful for ideas and as a starting point. Hope it helps!

This is our Year 3 Autumn 1 Science Planning + I've included the break down of coverage across the year at a glance (working doc) so you can see what's covered from the Year 3 curriculum and when. We have 2 hours each week allotted for Science. This planning includes a brief overview of all those sessions with WALTs/WILFs for 14 hours (7 weeks) planning. We also have 2 hours of Learning Challenge sessions each week (history, geography, music, DT, Art etc) you'll be able to see these other objectives in the yearly overview of coverage that I've included. I've also uploaded the planning for these separately. Our LC sessions are also tied to our central question. Some of our English sessions have also been linked into this half term's planning (2 week block on Non-Fiction David Attenborough documentaries) and this has also been uploaded separately. These are the actual plans we used and were not created explicitly for TES. Hopefully they are useful for anyone new to the curriculum or as a starting point. Hope they help!

8 KS2 Shared reading texts + comprehension questions

8 KS2 Shared reading texts + comprehension questions

(0)
I've uploaded 8 shared reading texts (from the same book - The alchemist) and comprehension questions to match. We've been using these in a Year 3 class (1 text over 2 days. Day 1 acting it out and focusing on new vocab, day 2 on the questions) as we're having a big push on vocabulary given the area we work in. However, I shared these with a Year 6 teacher and they've also used them 1 per session with their class and with greater independence. These are seriously challenging texts and will get you thinking too! - the more challenging vocab is highlighted in red. - some of the texts have a warm up in purple above the text. - I've also put how I want them to begin answering the questions in blue for support (seeing as I used it in Y3 ) This is taken from the first 2 chapters of the book and we are continuing to use this text next half term so will upload more then. I've used PIRA stem question starts for the comprehension questions (given it's a tricky text, there may be one than 1 answer or will depend on how the children explain their answers) Hope these help!

Number sentences - differentiated by colour. Green (easiest), Blue, Red, Yellow (hardest). I have these laminated and cut up and in different colour number sentence boxes. A really handy resource to throw out for an extension or independent activity,
Writing Target Card
RachelGraftonRachelGrafton

Writing Target Card

(1)
I use these in my Year 1 class. I stick them onto card (colour coded to their groups) and write on individual targets. The children have them on their tables during Big Write and at the end of the session they show me their work and together we read back the target and decide if they get a 'tick&'. If they achieve 5 tick they get a class reward, have achieved their target and I stick another target over it - just a tab at the top so you can still see their previous targets. Ofsted love them.
