Constellations and Star signs
I have uploaded a range of resources, teaching children about the star signs and constellations. There are 2 different presentations about the star signs. I focused on explaining how Greeks would create stories about the constellations, in particular, the story of Perseus and Andromeda. The children had a copy of the pictures and re-enacted the story. They then used the planning page to plan their own constellation story.

Various case studies that can be used as stimuli for debates etc.
Explanation texts (updated)
For the bad example of how honey is made, I put the children in pairs to highlight what made the exlpanation text bad. Then we looked at the improved version of how honey is made and the children explained to each other what made it better. After this, we looked at the Hersey's link about how chocoate is made, with a follow-up task of the children cutting out the pictures and instructions; then matching them and gluing them onto A3 paper, in the correct order.
