A pack for providing evidence for Working Towards, Working At and Greater Depth statements in Maths at the end of KS1.

This MTP is for 5 weeks to cover the ‘Home learning’ period whilst we are off school due to the Coronavirus outbreak. It is aimed at KS1 but you could easily edit and adapt to suit other year groups. I have tried to add in websites and links where appropriate to help support children and parents working at home. I hope you find this a useful document!

A 3 week unit of work for Year 1 based on the Gingerbread Man. Narrative and Non-fiction. 2 weeks focusing on narrative and then 1 week on instructions. This plan can easily be stretched to 4 weeks as I tend to block my lessons to get more done, especially when doing a longer write with Year 1. I have provided most of the resources you will need to teach this unit but not included flipcharts as everyone teaches differently and some prefer powerpoint not ActivPrimary. Before this unit, I sent requests to parents and friends to ask them to send poststcards to school as it linked to our Geography for the term.

A 3 week unit of work based around the story of Chinese New Year. There are lots of opportunities here for Cross-Curricular links. We are using this unit as part of our topic ‘Around the World’. This year CNY is on Saturday 25th January so this plan fits just after Christmas holidays and ends the day before. It is easily shortened and adapted for 2 weeks or you could pick and choose activities to fit a week of planning. We are ending with a Chinese New Year party! There are lots of other resources easily available to accompany this unit across the curriculum from Twinkl, Mrs Mactivity and other similar sites. I have not included flipcharts for this unit but I have included success criteria grids, any activity proformas to use and a story for retelling. The grammar lessons that are built into the unit are subject to change depending on your class’s needs and the resources available in your classroom, therefore the activities are just a suggestion. Hope you find this useful!

There are lots of resources, worksheets and flipchart examples included to help support the teaching of this unit. It has a big talk for writing focus and we have produced some fantastic writing as a result. There are lots of writing opportunities built in, not just an end of unit write. You will hopefully get lots of short burst writing of good quality, linked to this text. Easily editable and adaptable to different class sizes, age groups and term length. Combined with my Fiction planning it will cover a whole 5-6 week term.
