The material in this unit contains ideas on how PSHE and Citizenship can be introduced in the early years. Many of the skills and values that fall within this area of the curriculum are taught throughout each day in an Early Years classroom. The qualities they encourage are illustrated on the following page. Three themes: • Fairness • Relationships • Choices have been covered in depth.
Many of the qualities that are developed in PSHE and Citizenship are embraced within these particular subjects. They are fundamental to the Early Years curriculum. Timing In this unit most of the activities would take 10-15 minutes.

6 lessons includes plans and resources
The children will be encouraged to use reading journals to record their thoughts, predictions, questions and notes. To widen their experience they will be given opportunities to read extracts aloud and to watch excerpts from television or film adaptations. They will explore the relationships between characters and the language and techniques used to present these relationships and develop the plot. The children will work in pairs or groups, as well as a whole class and will discuss the techniques they use to help them understand the text, such as prediction, empathy and visualisation, using a story mountain. Finally, they will be supported in writing in the style of the author to rewrite a chapter or write a new one. These lessons use Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94) as the focus text. It will be helpful to have begun reading it as a class before starting this unit and to have finished it before the third lesson. This will enable children to delve more deeply into the plot, characterisation, language and structure.
1 Treasure!• To use technical vocabulary to talk about pirates
Notes on ‘the old sea dog’ • To draw picture notes of the main parts of the story
3.Long John Silver • To study dialogue between main characters to recognise how character can affect their behaviour.

This lesson explores more deeply one of the five pillars discussed in the last lesson: prayer or salah. Islamic prayer takes place five times a day, each time taking about ten minutes. These compulsory prayers help Muslims keep God at the front of their thoughts and keep them from doing bad deeds. Other prayers
also take place at any time and these are called du’a and are often more personal prayers.
The thinking skills strategy of fact or opinion will be used in this lesson. This strategy is used when
material is controversial, such as the idea of a religious belief. It encourages people to think about what is a
fact, a belief or an opinion.
Learning objective
Learning about:
• To understand the importance of regular prayer
in a Muslim’s life; and to understand the beliefs
that teach the importance of regular prayer.
Learning from:
• To understand that what is truth to one religion,
may be considered to be an opinion to another
group of people.
Success criteria
Learning about:
• Pupils will be able to explain the importance of
prayer in the life of a Muslim and discuss how
prayer improves the life of a Muslim.
Learning from:
• Pupils will have considered facts and opinions
about prayers and be able to express their
own views about how different people might
categorise beliefs.

Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination.
Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules.
