This was part of a unit of work on the Iron Man completed with Year 3. This week's learning was based around the part of the story where the farmers wake up to discover their fields have been destroyed and their tractors have been eaten by a strange and mysterious creature over night.

<p>Three differentiated worksheets based around the chapter in Who Let the Gods Out?, where Elliot and Virgo meet Thanatos for the first time and he tricks them into freeing him. The worksheets focus around inference skills, specifically character inferences.</p> <p>Children are given a set of words or actions performed by Thanatos during the chapter. They then have to consider why he might have said or done that action and think about what that suggest about him as a person. The first two worksheets provided a guide as to how to answer this inference question.</p> <p>Page 1 - aimed for core majority of class, children given sentence stems to support thinking.<br /> Page 2 - aimed for children who need more support - children given sentence stems to support thinking and multiple choice for the inference part.<br /> Page 3 - a more open task aimed at the more able, presented in the style of a 3 mark question on an assessment paper, children given a section of the chapter to work through and identify what they think Thanatos is like.</p> <p>This was used with a Year 5 class.</p>

<p>A lesson focused on understanding what democracy is and how it grew in Ancient Athens. The lesson offers an immersive learning opportunity in which children take part in their own ‘census’ and then their own ‘vote’, however with the strict rules of the Ancient Greeks i.e. only those who were boys, lived in the local area all their lives, born in a certain city - contexts can be changed according to where you are teaching. The lesson then makes comparisons to what Democracy was actually like in Ancient Athens and there is an opportunity for children to take on the role of the assembly, the courts and the council.</p> <p>Resources include a lesson plan, a powerpoint and voting cards.</p> <p>Some images obtained from Google images on the powerpoint. Information researched with the help of Twinkl.</p>
