KS1 Complete Lesson
STEM
Science: Working Scientifically
This is a great lesson as part of a STEM project, a Science topic or as a stand alone lesson. Designed to show the difference between warm blooded and cold blooded animals, this lesson allows children to predict, conduct and review and experiment independently. This lesson is engaging based around Dinosaurs and requires a thermometer or data logger and two (different size) bottles filled with warm water.
Key Stage 1 National Curriculum Criteria and statutory Requirements.
By asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways
observing closely, using simple equipment
performing simple tests
identifying and classifying
using their observations and ideas to suggest answers to questions
gathering and recording data to help in answering questions.
‘Working scientifically’ is described separately in the programme of study, but must always
be taught through and clearly related to the teaching of substantive science content in the
programme of study.
Year 1
**identify and name a variety of common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles,
birds and mammals
describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals (fish,
amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, including pets)
describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials**
Year 2
explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things
that have never been alive

survival (water, food and air)
As Design and Technology Subject Lead, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Somme vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with Year 1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green.
It have separated the vocabulary into the seven areas of DT:
• Design
• Structure
• Mechanism
• Electrical Control
• Materials
• Food Technology
• Evaluation
This list can be used by:
Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school.
Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad art curriculum.
Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge.
Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum.
To ensure Art is linked to English and reading where possible.
Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic.
My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of art vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English.

As a member of SLT, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list along with the History lead to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Some vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with KS1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green. The vocabulary in purple is repeated from the previous key stage.
This list can be used by:
Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school.

I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
I recommend that you first model the activities to the class and then let the children explore.
This is Level 1 : Colour and font
Level 2: Bullet points
Level 3: Text boxes
Level 4: Images
Level 5: Spelling and grammar check
Level 6: Symbols
I have compiled a bank of review and plenary activities. The resources here are editable and are a great resource to have on your memory stick.

Ideal for:
Student Teachers
NQTs
Observations
Supply Teacher
Experience Teachers who would like easy access to their plenary activities.

I have compiled the list of National Curriculum Spellings for Years 5 and 6 and created a bank of short spelling sessions. This resource is designed to encourage children to understand the origin of spellings and help create meaning for spelling sessions.

I have designed a whole speadsheet covering the KPIs or Assessment Criteria for Maths from EYFS to Year 6.
I have included code to make assessment and monitoring is easy.
When the strand is taught double click the KPI/ Assessment cell once to turn the cell red if the child had struggled, Double Click twice to turn in amber if they have some understanding and double click three times to show the child is secure.
Editable learning mat for KS1 topics including; Who am I?, What makes me, me? and People and Animals. Knowledge organiser designed to scaffold learning and provide new vocabulary to your topic.

Provide the children with the knowledge organiser at the beginning of a topic or us it as a checklist of coverage. This resource is suitable for Key Stage One and EYFS.

Timeline of growth
Opportunity for children to copy the spellings
