Two weeks' worth of weekly planning for the Year 1 fairy tales and traditional tales unit on Little Red Riding Hood. I did it towards the end of the Spring term but could be done earlier (though it&'s best done when most chn can write a simple story of several sentences reasonably independently). The kids loved reading and getting under the skin of this fairy tale! Great one for drama and S&L activities.

This is three weeks' worth of planning on senses poetry, using a range of poems mostly taken from 'The Works 2'. I left this Unit for ages and did it in Spring 2. It probably ought to be done much earlier. The more interesting objects you can take in for the children to explore and describe the better. I was amazed by the range of adjectives they came up with for a simple honeydew melon!
