Share the learning outcome for the unit with the children; share the concept of the working wall. What is narrative? Fact or fiction? Ascertain that this unit is about fiction/narrative/stories. We have three weeks to achieve our learning outcome.
Ask children what they know about JK Rowling. Who is she? What is her job? (use correct terminology- she is an ‘author) Where is she from? (Born in Gloucestershire) Can children name any of her books? (Harry Potter series plus several supplements)
Etc.
Activity One
Come back together, show children a picture of JK Rowling – does this help?
Children to move to next group’s poster and add any more info that they can now think of. Is there anything they agree/disagree with?
Lead into a class discussion on this famous children’s author:
Has anybody read any of her books?
What are her stories about? What genre do you think her stories are written in? (Clarify what we mean by ‘genre’ if needed). What is the purpose of narrative writing? (Display ‘to entertain and enthrall’ on the working wall).

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.
Use PPT to study speech punctuation.
Use the pictures from ‘The Mysteries…’ to write some possible dialogue.
Model possible conversations, including synonyms for said and adverbs plus adverbial clauses. With correct punctuation.

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.

Journalist
Communication
Bias

Come back together and discuss, agree definitions.
Would we find journalistic writing anywhere else other than in a newspaper report? Recap that we may find it in magazines or journals as well as scripts for radio and TV news broadcasts.
How does journalistic writing differ from ‘personal’ writing?
Formal tone, 3rd person, balanced, in journalistic writing a person puts the main points in the first sentence of the first paragraph – what will grab a person’s attention. This is followed by the rest of the details and written so that the article can easily be edited from the bottom up, if the article needs shortening. Sources are mentioned within the text and sentences and paragraphs can be short.
Read the ‘Total Eclipse’ article from Essential Non-fiction and discuss.
Draw out the 5 Ws.
Now read ‘Packaging: The Big Cover Up’ also from Essential non-fiction.
Activity One

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.

Christmas 2 Powerpoints Plus the Feast of the Epiphany
Two great powerpoints and some planning.
Nice powerpoint on Epiphany.
Sample :
Share the new targets with the children and explain that this is a short unit – two double lessons.
Read the story of Jesus’ birth from Matthew’s Gospel – Mt 1: 18-2: 23. Who are the main characters in this story? Concentrate on Mary, Joseph and King Herod.
Talk through the story. God had promised a saviour to free us all from our sins and he sent His only son into the world for us.
Talk about the priorities for any family when a baby is expected. (safety and comfort of the mother) .
Activity One
Come back together and watch scene featuring King Herod. Fear gripped King Herod, his mighty power was threatened. He gathered all the chief priests and scribes to see what they knew – they confirmed that Bethlehem had been foretold by the prophets. Herod launched his plan to locate the baby so that he could destroy him. What was Herod’s mistake? (look for the children to understand that Herod thought that Jesus would be an earthly King with a throne and a crown who was overthrow Herod).
What were Mary and Joseph’s feelings about the birth of the baby? Do you think they were scared? Happy? Relieved?
Children to TTYP and discuss – What does the birth of Jesus mean for us?
Jesus truly God and truly human has come down to Earth.
He brings peace, love and true freedom to those who seek him.
He opens the way to heaven for us.
He has come to save all people.
What does the birth of Jesus teach us?
God seeks those with an open heart to receive him.
If you truly seek God, He will find you.
It’s not money, wealth or knowledge that matters because God seeks the lowly and the humble who are looking for Him.

Poetry Imagery Planning Year 6 English Literature Imagery and Personification
Great planning for year 6.
Two weeks worth.
Nice powerpoints.
Sample :
Introduce the new unit and writing outcome.
Read the poem ‘Fog’ by Carl Sandberg together. Write ‘personification’ on the board and discuss what this means.
TTYP – what might it mean?
Agree on a definition for the working wall: Giving human traits to non-human or abstract things. Or making a non-human thing do things that only a human can do. Explain the phrase ‘inanimate object’.
Give out copies of ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room’ by William Blake. Discuss how the sunflowers are given human characteristics – they talk, they feel tired, they want a room with a view!
Return to the poem Fog. In this, it is almost as if Fog is alive – either human or possibly feline (cat-like).
Look again at ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room. ’Underline the words ‘topaz tortoises’.
Ask children what these last lines mean?
Discuss whether it matters if we are not sure of the exact meaning of all the words in a poem. Why might it not matter? Because it is the sound and the rhythm of the words which is as important as their meaning in a poem.
Look up topaz to find its meaning. Does this help us understand what the last two lines mean?
