<p>This 3 week unit of work was planned for Year 3 during the final summer term. It would also be suitable for Year 4. The aim of the unit is for the children to write their own exit chapter to add to Roald Dahl’s story. The unit begins by looking at the language Roald Dahl uses when creating his characters which leads onto the children creating their own character and inventing room. There is a focus of editing and improving a piece of writing, as well as a lesson on punctuating speech to ensure the children are secure in the rules before writing their own narrative. A story mountain is used to plan their own story and a lesson each day writing a different part (introduction, build-up, problem, resolution and ending).</p>

<p>There are five different science lessons (smart notebook) to match the objectives for the Year 3 science national curriculum. Easy to work through and engaging for the children. The lessons include practical activities for the children to participate in to deepen their understanding of plants. Experiments are easy to set up but require forward planning.</p> <p>Lesson 1 - What do plants need?<br /> Lesson 2 - Parts of a plant<br /> Lesson 3 - Roots<br /> Lesson 4 - Transporting water<br /> Lesson 5 - Flowers and Pollination</p>
