White Rose Year 4: Autumn Block 4 - Multiplication and Division. Week 2 (of 3)

(1)
I’ve uploaded my White Rose ‘Multiplication and Division’ Autumn Block 4 planning. Including resources I’ve used from the White Rose (turned into an easily printable format and visual PPT to share). This is week 2 of 3. This is my own personal planning which I’ll be using in my class in a couple of weeks. Hope you find it useful, it’s not made specifically for TES so there will most likely be some spelling errors etc week 1 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-year-4-autumn-block-4-multiplication-and-division-week-1-of-3-12018441 week 2 - here week 3 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-year-4-autumn-block-4-multiplication-and-division-week-3-of-3-12019068 The warm ups 1-3 that are included in this planning don’t relate at all to the White Rose topic and recapsg and revisits prior learning. And since it’s my personal planning it’s mentioned on here. Warm up 1 - Write today’s date with Roman numerals (no resource) Warm up 2 - Fluency PPT adding within 20 ( https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/240-addition-and-subtraction-facts-within-20-ppt-resource-self-assessed-11899007) Warm up 3 - ‘closing the gap’ PPT where over the year they revisit key ideas from the Y1-Y3 curriculum (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-4-autumn-1-maths-closing-the-gap-ppt-revisiting-y1-y2-y3-objectives-daily-11942385)

I’ve uploaded my White Rose ‘Geometry - properties of shape’ Summer Block 5 planning. Including resources I’ve used from the White Rose (turned into an easily printable format and visual PPT to share). This is week 1 of 3. This is my own personal planning which I’ll be using in my class in a couple of weeks. Hope you find it useful, it’s not made specifically for TES so there will most likely be some spelling errors etc Week 1 - here Week 2 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-year-4-summer-block-5-geometry-properties-of-shape-week-2-of-3-12107640 Week 3 - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-year-4-summer-block-5-geometry-properties-of-shape-week-3-of-3-12107658 I’ve not made the summer warm up PPTs yet as I’ve planned far in advance. They’re not linked to the topic, just something additional I do at the beginning of each lesson. If you’ve been using them as well, I will reupload when they have been created - closer to when I actually teach this myself in class
Year 1 - Differientated homework for the whole year (Maths, Literacy, Phonics alternating)

Year 1 - Differientated homework for the whole year (Maths, Literacy, Phonics alternating)

(0)
Hi all, I've used this homework for the past 2 years and it's always gone down well with parents. Each bit of homework is differentiated into 4 parts based on the ability groups and colours within my class (can be changed). I've included an initial letter to parents to explain the homework (on the first homework doc). I've never sent homework home to parents in Autumn 1 due to transitioning up from Foundation and the step up in learning already. It usually alternatives maths and literacy each week and then I've included phonics homework for when you near the phonics screening. All the homework was hand made by me, so not just copied resources from elsewhere online. Hope you find some use in it and can tweak it to suit your requirements.

Hi there, I thought I'd update a set of book labels I made for our school to keep consistency. Each class has an animal name and picture as you will see, each of these is easily changed. We print these onto labels (standard 4 to one A4 sheet) to make it easier to stick onto books. There are 4 boxes in the bottom left, we use these to colour code books and identify for Pupil Premium, SEN, EAL and slow movers. This makes it easier for books scrutiny's but also mean the children won't know what they mean. Hope it helps somebody looking for a whole school theme!

I’ve uploaded my White Rose ‘Money’ Spring Block 2 planning, including resources. Hopefully it will save somebody else some time! The starter activities referred to I’ve uploaded separately (they’re on a power point). https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mental-starters-11805783 I’ve also included a variety of mini maths sessions (57 separate activities) based on the NFR Y3 Autumn assessment papers which I use throughout as additional warm ups and plenaries.
Autumn 1 Maths PPT - Warm up - recap Y1/Y2 curriculum

Autumn 1 Maths PPT - Warm up - recap Y1/Y2 curriculum

(0)
5 minute activity for each session in Autumn 1. Aim is to recap the basic skills taught in Year 1 and Year 2 in starter form. Answers included for children to self assess. Most tasks are differentiated by colour. I've included the overview planning for the terms over the year (subject to change) P.S. I do automatically include mistakes on some of my slides to promote the children to think for themselves and challenge or correct me. Even if these are accidental I leave them on for future uses. We are working on our 'growth mindset' and how learning happens through mistakes - including the teachers.

Phonics - soundstrips to use on tables

(0)
I use two sound strips to support my Year 1 class in their writing at their tables - I borrowed these from the school I did my training placement at, so I cannot take credit for them! The first contains all the sounds your class need to phonetically attempt any word. The second sound strip colour groups different ways to make the same sound. I have also included the word doc I use to assess which sounds the children can read and write. These assessments help inform my teaching in the lead up to the phonics screening test.

Mental starters

I use these for 5 minutes at the start of a maths lesson and children then mark it themselves in less than a 1 minute. I do put deliberate mistakes on most slides to prompt my class to challenge me if they get a different answer and to promote growth mindset - I’m always learning as well as them. Either I’ve made a mistake and I learn, or they’ve made the mistake and they learn.
