<p>In this project, students create a toy bear, using sprites to simulate “touch pads” -making the bear smile, blink, change colour, etc. Enhancements include using the keyboard instead of sprites, and adding sound.</p>
<p>There are many sites offering Scratch Projects. However, many tend to be like recipes - students almost mechanically enter code and create “delicious cakes”, without learning a lot about Scratch.</p>
<p>My goal is to get students to create a fun project, and at the same time learn how the instructions work and fit together. I use the following approach:<br />
- break the project into manageable chunks<br />
- present “pseudo-code” for each chunk<br />
- provide the Scratch commands to implement the pseudo-code, but jumbled up<br />
In this way, students learn about pseudo-code (an important part of coding), and have to understand the Scratch instructions in order to sequence them correctly to match the pseudo-code.</p>
<p>The lessons comprise:<br />
1. a PowerPoint with instructions<br />
2. a Word document with the instruction slides printed 2 to a page as a handout<br />
3. accompanying Scratch files for teachers that match each stage of the project</p>
<p>ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested”, and continually updated. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so please provide constructive feedback.</p>
<p>5 Creative dance lessons suitable for ks1 or lower ks2 based on the original Toy Story film.</p>
<p>The lessons focus on the characters & their qualities/attributes.</p>
<p>These lessons have been written with covid 19 restrictions in mind & whilst still allowing the children to work together they do not require physical contact, limit travelling around the space and the activity level is moderate & sustained rather than high impact.</p>
<p>Each lesson follows a simple step by step format where the teacher is simply required to ask questions to stimulate movement ideas in the children; there are hints & tips along the way to guide the teacher how long each task might last & what they can do to further support learning. Further to this the skills that each section of the lesson focus upon are noted in a column on the right.</p>
<p>The lessons can be performed in any order & you do not need to cover all of them.</p>

This resource is a complete 6-9 week KS3 unit on the planning and making of a moving toy, for year 7 students. It outlines and explains how students are to follow the design process in order to make a unique and individual moving toy using readily available classroom materials. Perfect for schools that don't have wood or specialised machinery. The PowerPoint outlines the steps to make this toy, while introducing the design process to year 7 students. This resource contains quality teacher and student examples. This resource is EAL friendly as language is clear and is used in conjunction with visual imagery.
A simple introduction to continuity and change. This resource has pictures of old and modern day toys for pupils to talk about and compare. Then they are asked to draw or find a picture of thier own.
Interactive timeline of toys
I used this with a Y2 class during a cross-curricular History/Literacy lesson before writing instruction manuals for toys.
<p>An Inference-based lesson exploring language and interpretation, using Shaun Tan’s text ‘Broken Toys’. This goes with AQA’s Paper 1 revision for Question 2.</p>
<p>The idea is to discuss more in comparison to writing - you can use mini-whiteboards instead of exercise books as the students enjoy writing on it and then rubbing it clean to start something new. However, it can be easily adapted if you wanted more evidence of written work.</p>
<p>There is a mixture of individual, pair and group work throughout and focuses on the short story in three sections (one page at a time). Students are encouraged to think for themselves and arrive at interpretations and inferences - some really good discussions have come from this lesson.</p>
<p>Currently made for a 90-minute FE lesson, but can be easily adapted.</p>
<p>Victorians - Victorian Toys (KS2)</p>
<p>This lesson has many pictures of Victorian toys and pictures of Victorians children with their toys. Rich and poor children’s toys. A link is also included that shows lots of different Victorians toys that children may recognise. Also included in one of the slides is a class comparison activity to teach how to compare and what to look for.</p>
<p>This lesson is in PowerPoint format and can be taught as it is or changed to suit individual classes. Detailed PowerPoint Lesson with 20 slides.</p>
<p>This lesson comes with a suggested activity or task that is also attached. The task for this lesson is a comparison activity and pictures.</p>
<p>Learning objectives<br />
• To learn about Victorian Toys<br />
• To compare Victorian Toys with modern Toys</p>
<p>A practical lesson guiding students to test different variables on the speed of a car on a ramp. Linked to distance-time graphs. Information on acceleration and deceleration with graphs,<br />
Information on a woman in Science</p>
<p>Topic – Toys</p>
<p>Children love to investigate items, so why not encourage them to investigate materials toys are made from. This resource is a great tool to encourage children to develop their speaking and listening skills. It gives them opportunities to look at, touch and talk about different toys and what materials they think they are made from. It creates great social opportunities, and allows you as a teacher to develop their language skills, and understanding of different textures and materials.</p>
<p>There are three different sheets for the children to record their findings. You could also add observations of the children’s discussions to show their understanding.</p>
<p>Thankyou for looking at my bundle of resources.</p>
<p>Lesson 1- To find out about toys and explain how we find out about the past.<br />
Lesson 2 - To know about toys in the 20th Century<br />
Lesson 3 - Comparing Victorian toys and modern day toys.<br />
Lesson 4 - To recognise how toys have changed over time.</p>
<p>Throughout the lessons children will look at historical sources and discuss which sources are best for particular areas of learning.</p>
<p>In lesson 1 - Finding out about toys and explaining how we find out about the past.</p>
<p>In this lesson children will start with a physical warm up where they will show their preference to two items (one being a toy) . This will lead into a discussion about what a toy is and what children’s favourite is. Children will interview each other and proceed to write up their answers.</p>
<p>The teacher will then show children a toy from the past. They will generate questions to ask the toy and then discuss how we can find our answers.</p>
<p>lesson 2 - To know about toys in the 20th century</p>
<p>Children will start the lesson by reflecting on their prior learning and vocabulary.<br />
Throughout all of their toys lessons children will be actively thinking of historical sources of information. Considering what is a good source of information and what might not be the best e.g children will think about how they aren’t a good expert group for toys from the 20th century as they weren’t alive during this era.</p>
<p>Todays focus of historical information will be the internet. Children will be shown a basic timeline of toys popular in the 20th century created by the teachers research from the internet. Children will then go on to do a focus research on lego. Children will be guided creating useful questions.</p>
<p>Children will final go onto present the facts they have learnt on a lego brick. With a chilli challenge and helping hands support to ensure all children maximise their learning.</p>
<p>Lesson 3 - To compare Victorian and modern day toys</p>
<p>In this lesson children will start with a warm up where they will think about the question - If you could make a toy what would it be? Children will rewind on their prior learning of modern day toys and 20th century toys.</p>
<p>Children will continue to look at historical sources of evidence. Children will look at books about the Victorians to answer four questions. This will provide a general gist of when the Victorian era was, what Victorian life was like for the rich and poor and what schooling looked like.</p>
<p>Children will be guided (in a ks1 manner) to make inferences about what Victorian toys might be like. Children will then learn about Victorian toys through an exploration of actual toys (pictures/videos may be needed if you can’t access Victorian toys) and then a teacher led input about the toys.</p>
<p>Finally, children will complete small steps which will support them to independently make simple comparisons in their independent application.</p>
<p>Lesson 4 - To recognise how toys have changed over time.</p>
<p>Today children will be introduced to a Victorian toy maker. They will start by using clues such as girl and boys toys to identify what era the toy maker came from. Using their prior knowledge on Victorian toys.</p>
<p>Children will continue to reflect back on prior knowledge when they learn the maker is going to travel forward to modern times. Children will reflect on times such as the 20th century.</p>
<p>The toy maker will then show children a toy and will explain why they think its a good toy (the toy is completely against modern times such as attitude and technology)</p>
<p>Children will be taught about why things have changed. MSTA - Materials, safety , technology and attitudes.</p>
<p>Children will write a letter to the toy maker explaining why the toy is unsuitable.</p>
