Year 3 - English Non Fiction - David Attenborough documentary (2 weeks planning and most resources)

(0)
Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and most of the resources for documentary texts. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat. These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar. Hope it helps :)

Editable book labels

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.

Bridging 10 - visualisation resource - Ten Frame

I've made a PPT of the key 20 number facts (number sentences) that bridge 10. I use this to model on ten frames how to recombine to make 10. I've added animations to show the transition and movement of the coins. e.g. 8 + 7 10 + 5 = 15 Hopefully you find it useful!

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.
