This is a Space themed assembly, designed for two Year 5 classes, complete with script and presentation. The assembly was designed for a 30-40 minute time slot.
The script can easily be adapted to suit any class size.
This Year 5 Non-Chronological Report Activity was designed around the theme of Space.
As a class we revisited the key features of non-chronological reports, and decided which features would make it onto our success criteria (page 2). This was done using the Hexagonal Thinking grid on the IWB (page 3).
Learners then worked in pairs to create their own planets and discuss what details they should include in their non-chronological reports, using the hexagonal thinking grids (page 4).
Finally, the non-chronological report was planned using page 1 and 2 of the planning document.
Used as a Fabulous Finish for Year 5 learners, this resource includes the following:
Brief and Rubric
Editable research template
Week 1 Powerpoint, including research/mood board and basic design creation.
Introduce making inferences to upper KS2, with this engaging and interactive lesson.
In this fully editable presentation, have fun adding pictures of teacher’s shoes. Then, use the editable activity 1 to get students engaged in inferencing (this can be used in small groups).
Once activity 1 has your class begging to find out more about inferencing, you can use activity 2 (suggested to print on A3) for students to practice their skills. A rubric is provided for assessment.
Enjoy!
A fully editable resource, you can either share the template with your learners on Canva or PowerPoint. Initially used for a rocket/design and launch in Year 5, the template contains the follow:
Student Name and Name of Rocket
Frame for student to insert a picture of their rocket (with labels to explain their design.
An area to explain Newton’s 3 laws of motion.
An area to input the forces that act upon a rocket.
An area to explain how much water they used in their rocket and why.
An area for a prediction
An area for a materials list
An area for evaluation
A rubric for assessment.
This resource was made to introduce the topic of Future Cities for Year 5. It includes:
Presentation
Graphic Organiser
Research task
The resource begins by exploring the key considerations when designing a city (you can replace the information on the Whoa slide, with an article from your locality).
Then the learners undertake a reading task using a bespoke text set created on NewsELA, they will record their findings in the graphic organiser.
For the final task, learners will carry out a research task based on future cities currently being conceptualised. Videos and reading materials are inserted to help, as well as a handy glossary. Assessment rubric is also provided.
All designs were intended to be edited as a template on Canva. So, if this is something you would also like to do, please just import the materials.
This Self Awareness Activity allows students to think about how their feelings contribute to their own actions, and how this may affect the people around them. This indirectly links to the following objectives from the Citizenship Programme of Study:
KS3
- the ways in which citizens work together to improve their communities
KS4
- the different ways in which a citizen can contribute to the improvement of their community
However most importantly, it equips students with the skills to effectively manage their feelings and emotions. Which in turn will allow them to contribute to the betterment of their community, and become successful and happy members of society.
This activity is aimed at HA Year 6/KS3 pupils. It covers the below areas in the new mathematics Year 6 programme of study:
Multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long multiplication
Multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to 3 decimal places
Aswell as solving problems involving percentages, this resource also contains a useful page on the long multiplication of numbers to 2 decimal places by 2 digit whole numbers.
This resource accompanies the Year 5 Explanation text rubric:

This resource has been aligned to the Cambridge International Primary Curriculum.
