DAY 1 and 2 =Features of newspapers, DAY 3= The 5Ws, DAY 4= Headlines and DAY 5 = Fact and Opinion. Grammar starters include: 1st and 3rd person; Apostrophes, Homophones, reported speech and its/it's

An exciting lesson (one I was observed doing) including a little tension, receiving a letter from a museum professor with a task of designing different sized enclosures for a variety of Stone Age animals. The children loved it and talked about it at the end of the years, as being one of their favourite lessons! There are differentiated worksheets ( chilli challenges - mild, hot and spicy) and extensions. Plenty for everyone and cross curricular too! Using and Applying Maths
