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!

You’ll find BLOCK 3 here - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-white-rose-planning-year-3-autumn-2-block-3-multiplication-and-division-11748022 I’ve uploaded my week 1 - 5 planning for Y3 Block 2 Addition and subtraction (that matches the updated White Rose Maths planning). This is my own personal planning - not made specifically for TES, so more useful to inform your own planning or give ideas. Hopefully it will save somebody else some time! The starter activities referred to I’ve uploaded separately (they’re on a power point). I haven’t included the resources and some were hand made and not digital, but see the examples given in the White Rose.

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!

x58 Measurement (Time, length, weight, temperature)- 5 minute recap sessions

x58 Measurement (Time, length, weight, temperature)- 5 minute recap sessions

(0)
I made some ‘mini sessions’ - quick 5 minute recap sessions to use as warm ups and slot into other sessions to keep these skills active in my my children’s minds without spending too much time on them. I get them to self-assess as well so = no marking. x58 mini sessions over all. 1 activity per page, duplicated so it’s easy to print. Will need to print each page roughly 5 times to cover a whole class. Each has a WALT on it making it easy for the children to quickly tick or draw a face next to etc for self-assessment. One document is time (to the past hour, quarter hour and 5 minute sessions). The other is split into weight, length and then temperature. I use them all the time, so thought I’d upload in case others would find it useful.

Using within my class to build fluency within 20. Includes all key facts within 20; 240 of them. The PPT animations slowly reveal the answers to self assess gives an example of a bar model/associated facts Low threshold, high ceiling task that allows your less able children to recap addition and subtraction, but for your more able to apply what they know in a range of others ways. 5 ‘deepen your thinking’ tasks added at the bottom of each slide/same on each.

Hope you find it useful, it’s not made specifically for TES so there will most likely we some spelling errors etc The warm ups 1-4 that are included in this planning don’t relate at all to the White Rose topic and is something I’m trialling personally - spending 1/3 of the lesson re-capping and revisiting prior learning. And since it’s my personal planning it’s mentioned on here as I didn’t want to have to delete it all just to upload. If you want to include them in your lesson as well then they’re all uploaded separately elsewhere. Warm up 1 - Write today’s date with Roman numerals (no resource) Warm up 2 - Fluency PPT adding within 20 ( https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/240-addition-and-subtraction-facts-within-20-ppt-resource-self-assessed-11899007) Warm up 3 - always the ‘closing the gap’ PPT where over the year they revisit key ideas from the Y1-Y3 curriculum (Autumn 1 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-4-autumn-1-maths-closing-the-gap-ppt-revisiting-y1-y2-y3-objectives-daily-11942385) Warm up 4 - re-visting something I know they also need to work on as a class (I tend to do this on the spot/with whatever resources are already in my classroom/sometimes explained in more detail on the planning)
