year 6 Literacy Fiction Genre To plan, draft, write and improve an engaging short story
4 main weeks’s work.
Plus powerpoints and resorces.
Great for year 6.
Sample planning.
Learning/Writing outcome: To plan, draft, write and improve an engaging short story in a particular genre using appropriate language and organisational features.
Introduce the words ‘fiction’ and ‘genre’. TTYP and discuss the meaning of the word ‘genre’. At this point, introduce the new and improved writing journals where children can make notes during lessons, can jot down words they wish to magpie, jot words that they have generated but which aren’t suitable for the task in hand and can jot questions/things they are unsure about. Explain that I will prompt to use these for the first couple of days but then children need to become more independent. Prizes for most effective use!
Ensure the children understand the difference between fiction ‘narrative’ and non fiction ‘non narrative’.
Activity One
Come back together and do class mind map for working wall.
Ask children to think of any titles of books which could fit with any of these genres. Ask children to discuss their preferences and discuss our preferences with them.
Activity Two
Talk about how they sorted the books in activity two. What clues were you looking for? Talk about words which suggest different genres. Explain activity three.
Activity One
In lit books complete quick mind map of different types of fiction genre.
Activity Two
Children to work in table groups. Children to be given a wide range of fiction books from class/school library.
Children to sort the books into fantasy, historical, science fiction and mystery by scanning the book, looking at the front cover and reading the blurb.
Activity Three
Children to have a selection of pictures from books (front covers and insides) and blurbs from a variety of fiction books. Ch to decide which genre they think they book comes from and justify their opinion by highlighting the key words or annotating the pictures.
SEN: () to work as a group on this task.
MA: In pairs. With teacher to work with ‘Quality Question Marks’ (both groups).
HA: Independently.
Plenary:
What have we learned? What is narrative? Non narrative? What is a genre? Name some genres of narrative? What is your favourite? Why? Least favourite? Why?
Does this link to visual literacy (i.e. do films and TV programs split into genres?)

Literacy Year 5 or 6 Stories from Other Countries 3 Weeks Planning Ahmed's Secret Heide
Great planning for year 5.
Plenty to keep you going for three solid weeks.
Powerpoints, planning, worksheets etc etc
The zip has the lot. I have put up some on the ordinary download so you can look.
Sample planning :
Genre: Narrative Unit 3 – ‘Stories from other cultures’
Focus Texts: ‘Abela’ by Berlie Doherty (class reader), ‘The day of Ahmed’s secret’ by Florence Parry Heide, ‘Stories from around the world’ Usborne books.
Objectives
Primary Framework Phase 1
• Create roles showing how behaviour can be interpreted from different viewpoints
• Know and apply common spelling rules
• Infer writers’ perspectives from what is written and from what is implied
• Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured
• Experiment with different narrative form and styles to write their own stories
Adapt sentence construction to different text-types, purposes and readers
Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophes.
Learning/Writing outcome for unit: Write a story from a different character’s point of view. Reflect on writing critically and edit it against success criteria.
LO: Whole Class Shared Learning
Guided and Independent Activities: Plenary:
M Understand and use the word ‘culture’.
Begin to recognise the features of a story from another culture. Show the words ‘narrative’ and ‘fiction’. Children to TTYP and talk about what they mean. Come back together and elicit that they are words for ‘story’. We are going to be studying a narrative unit for two weeks. Briefly recap the five structural features of a story. What types of stories have we studied so far? (Myths, legends and stories by a significant author).
Show the word ‘culture’. Children to TTYP and discuss.
Come back together and explain that a culture refers to “the attitudes and behaviour that are characteristic of a particular social group.” Emphasise that we are not necessarily talking about different religions or even other countries – there are a lot of different cultures even within one country.
Lead to class discussion.
Provide children with copies of ‘The Day of Ahmed’s Secret’ – explain that this story is from Africa. Ahmed lives in a city called Cairo – the capital of Egypt. Show on a map. Have we heard anything about Cairo in the news recently?
Read half of the story and then challenge children to discuss on their tables:
The features of the story.
Their predictions about Ahmed’s secret.
Come back together, read the rest of the story and discuss.
How is Ahmed’s life different from your lives? In his culture it is perfectly normal for children to be working very hard and taking over the family business from his Father. What does his pride at being able to write his own name suggest about his level of education? About his place in society?
Create a working wall list of features to include:
Capital letters used at the start of each sentence and full stops at the end.

SEAL PSHE Year 5 and 6 Planning Well Being Week Multi Faith Anti Bullying
Did a lot of work in my career with year 5 and 6 in the aspect of PSHE SEAL etc.
Gathered together my planning.
Some good powerpoints in here.
There’s planning for a Multi Faith week that covers the whole school.
Well being week covers the whole school too.
Topics tackeld include :
healthy eating
feelings
new beginnings
getting on and falling out
going for goals
relationships
problem solving
going for goals
sample planning
Objectives
• I know that my relationships are all different and that different ways of
behaving are appropriate to different types of relationships.
• I can accept and appreciate people’s friendship and try not to demand
more than they are able or wish to give.
Activities
Ask the children to think of as many different friends as they can (in and out of
school), then to think about the following questions for a few moments, then to
share their thoughts in pairs for 2 minutes.
Do you like all your friends in the same way?
• Do you like doing the same thing with all of your friends?
• Do you tend to see some friends only in certain situations?
• Would you want to see all of your friends all the time?
Take feedback, and hold these ideas. Teacher to demonstrate Levels of Friendship circles on the board, starting in the centre with close friends and family, second circle –good friends/cousins etc, third circle, third circle –people in school/relatives you see rarely, fourth circle –people who are acquaintances or know slightly –postman, doctor etc.
Give out copies of the Levels of friendship resource sheet and ask children to
complete the sheet for themselves. They will not need to share it with anyone.
Plenary
When the children have finished, or the allocated time has elapsed, facilitate a brief discussion as a class, drawing out the point that we all tend to have friendships at different levels, and this is OK. We do not want to be best friends with all of our friends. Some of us have many friends, some prefer to have one close friend.
Outcomes
Children will recognise the different relationships that they have with people that they know, and recognise that these differing relationships are fine to have.

The Highwayman Alfred Noyes Teaching Resources Powerpoints Worksheets
Assorted great planning and ideas for the superb poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.
Great powerpoints.
Great ideas and worksheets.
Plenty to get your teeth into and reassemble.
Sample planning :
Introduce children to ‘The Highwayman’. Explain that it is a poem that tells a story involving a highwayman.
They will need to listen carefully as the poem is read, as it uses a lot of ‘old-fashioned’ language. The poem was written by Alfred Noyes and was first published in August 1906.
Read the poem to the class and then children talk with partner about what they have found out about the story.
Come back together and discuss the story told through the poem. How can children tell that this poem was written some time ago?
Make notes on the board about character and story.
Make notes about the Highwayman’s appearance.
Recap on the techniques we use in fiction writing (and make clear again that poetry is a type of narrative) to describe the scene/setting to the reader. What is our main objective? To create an image in the reader’s mind. We do this by using the senses – recap.
Re-read just the first three lines of the poem, ask children to close eyes and visualise the setting as I read it again. Talk about the language and the kind of pictures it created for them.
The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
Can the children see a technique which has been used in each of the three lines? Metaphor. Discuss.
Children to pick out words which evoke the senses:
Darkness, gusty trees, ghostly etc
Recap what we have found out so far about ‘The Highwayman’. What makes it a narrative poem?
Explain children’s final writing outcome. They are going to use the opening part of ‘The Highwayman’ as their inspiration and they are going to write their own poem based on Bess, the Landlord’s daughter.
Recap on last lesson – what is a simile and what is a metaphor?
What are the three nouns which Noyes describes using metaphor? The wind, the moon and the road. Children are also going to use metaphor to describe these, they are then going to use simile to describe Bess waiting for her love.
Explain that today’s planning session is going to focus on the metaphor part of the writing outcome.
Model how to write a metaphor by first mind mapping each item.

Grammar Teaching Materials Powerpoints Teaching Materials Worksheets
Gathered together all my Grammar teaching materials from Primary school.
The zip contains them all. Over 170 mb of stuff.
I’ve included a few examples in the ordinary upload so you can look.
sample:
Start by reviewing homework and making a list for the working wall.
Define each type of word: Noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Build up a sentence as we go.
Show the children a picture on the whiteboard of a horse galloping and of a lightning bolt. Children to write down 3 (LA) or 5(MA and HA) important nouns from the picture. Share. On the left of the noun, children to write an adjective to modify or describe the noun. Share. After the noun, children to write a verb and then an adverb to qualify the verb.
e.g. The black horse galloped elegantly along the beach.
Children to have 5 minutes to read and digest their new writing target. Ask any questions if necessary.
Praise the children on yesterday’s literacy work – they showed knowledge of the function of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs (HA showed knowledge of the difference between common, proper and pro nouns).
Children to name a range of punctuation – I record on the board (I do not add to it at this point).
Ask volunteers to illustrate uses of the punctuation named. Look on the punctuation pyramid – have we named any L5 punctuation? This is what we should be aiming at all the time.
Children to have a variety of sentences to up level punctuation on their whiteboards.
Come back to ‘The Mysteries of Harris Burdick’. Read through all of the captions and talk about ‘reading’ the illustration. Allow children time to talk about the ‘mystery’ – what do they think happened to Harris Burdick?
Choose a picture from ‘The Mysteries…’ and list all of the questions which it provokes. What do children think of the pictures? Do the captions answer any of the questions?
Talk about the settings in the pictures – often they are recognisable, familiar settings where things are not as they seem. Explain that we would call this ‘Stories in a familiar setting’.
Model the task.

Year 5 Literacy and Maths Planning
Gathered together my lessons for year 5 Maths and English for a particular year. There’s about a year’s worth in there.
Plenty of great ideas. the zip has the lot. the general download a few to have a look at.
Sample planning :
Start by showing the word ‘Instructions’ – TTYP what does this mean?
Come back together and establish that instructions are a set of commands given to help someone do or create something.
Show the children a recipe and the instructions as to how to play Sevens using cards. Look at the instructions. What do children notice about how these are laid out? They are given in an order.
They are bullet-pointed.
Each sentence is fairly short.
There are many ‘bossy’ verbs: ‘place’, ‘play’, ‘turn’ etc. Explain that we call these ‘imperative’ verbs – an imperative is a command. Discuss why it is helpful to have ‘bossy’ verbs and short clear sentences.
There is a title which tells you what is to be achieved.
Numbers or time connectives used e.g. 1, 2, 3 or later, next - are used to show chronological order.
Create a features list on the working wall by sticking post it notes onto a piece of sugar paper –these can be used throughout the unit as a game to start the lesson.
Divide the class into three teams. Deal out seven cards to each team and the teacher! Play a little of the game of sevens, following the instructions. Demonstrate how we can follow the instructions to play.
Return to features of instructions displayed on working wall.
What can you remember about these? Children turn to a partner and tell them 3 different features. Report back & discuss.
Show children the instructions checklist (working wall). Have we mentioned all of these features?
Ask children to think of a new idea for a card game. Use a talking partner & brainstorm a game idea on whiteboards.
Gather everyone’s ideas/discuss the concepts. Pick one idea.
Decide how many players we will need & how to play it. Allow children time with talking partners to practice playing the game. Ask some children to demonstrate.
How will we write the instructions? What comes first? (Title, subheading.) What is our first instruction? Repeat for a few more sentences.
