Each school day of December before the Christmas holidays, click on the date and read the next part of the Christmas story from the Bible. I used this at the beginning of every day in December (in a Christian school) and we discussed the meaning of the verses. There are no numbers for the weekend dates, only the school dates. Not all verses are from the same book of the Bible but are in the correct order for the story! Thanks for looking!

A very detailed planning frame for a discussion text on zoos. I used this to discuss ideas as a whole class and then gave to my lower ability children to help them choose sentences for their final piece. I used this for a Y4 class but I think it could be used for older children also. Differentiated plan for the lesson also included with objectives from the Year 4 English curriculum 2014.

This worksheet is for the children to create a piece of persuasive writing to adopt an animal. Our topic was related to lions and so the children were encouraged to choose a wild cat after looking at a few animal adoption charity pages. However, any animal could be chosen. The planning is included but the powerpoint gives an example of an animal adoption charity page and explains the worksheet. Thanks for looking!
