This was aimed at Year 4 pupils but could be easily adapted. The planning goes over a few lessons per chapter so it can be studied in depth. My class loved this book and enjoyed the tasks that we did based around the text.

This unit of work is inspired by and based off of the planning from the Emmanuel Project which is attached in these downloads.
There are 5 lessons in this unit of work. There is a range of activites such as: Art, creating posters, debates and writing.
This unit of work has been taught for two years and has been successful each time.
Lesson 1: Analysis and looking at the work of Alice Bailly and Pablo Picasso. Info about the artists with key questions to answer based on their work.
Comparison task.
(For KS1, this can be done whole class and stuck into books. KS2 independent work)
Lesson 2: Children explore cubism skills by understanding what cubism is and drawing a selection of random objects through a cubist lens.
Lesson 3: Children explore wool painting and have an opportunity to explore different patterns and styles of wool painting.
Lesson 4: Children create their own cubism self-portraits. They add a section of wool painting to the art.
This unit of work is based off of the NCETM lesson spines and is aimed at Year 4. Some tasks have been taken from White Rose to meet the learning objectives from the NCETM.
There are two parts to this planning unit.
PART 1: REVIEW OF FRACTIONS
Lesson 1: Identify the whole and the parts
Lesson 2: Identify equal and unequal parts
Lesson 3: Construct the whole from one part
PART 2: FRACTIONS
Lesson 1: Write mixed numbers
Lesson 2: Add and subtract mixed numbers from a part-whole model
Lesson 3: Add and subtract mixed numbers
Lesson 4: Label fractions on a number line
Lesson 5: Identify how many fractional parts make a whole

Lesson 9: Add fractions with the same denominator
Lesson 10: Subtract fractions with the same denominator
Lesson 11: Add and subtract fractions
Lesson 12: Identify equivalent fractions
Lesson 13: Identify equivalent fractions
Some of these lessons are intended to be purely practical, working with whiteboards and physical resources/manipulatives. This is stated on the first page of each lesson on the PowerPoint.
Lessons that are designed to be in books have tasks that are easily written into books by childen or come with a ‘Fluency, Problem-solving, Reasoning’ sheet to show clear progression. These lessons are provided with a ‘next step’ to move children on even further in their learning.
Each PowerPoint follows the structure of: Revisit, Address Misconceptions, Vocabulary, Focus, Guided Practice, Talk Task, Deepen, Independent Practise, Next Steps.

Independent Task
The ‘Independent Task’ slide has a ‘Now, Next, Last’ visual to promote children’s independence in completing their tasks.
The Powepoint is infused with STEM sentences, different representations, practical activities, fluency, and reasoning tasks.
The overall structure of the unit is inspired by the NCETM for Year 4 and some questions and representations are taken from White Rose. There is a real mixture of resources used and combined to create a comprehensive unit that can be delivered straight from this download.
The lesson objectives are as follows:
Identify place value
Use column addition with regrouping
Use column addition with regrouping twice
Use column addition with regrouping twice
Decide on mental or written strategies
Solve addition problems
Identify the minuend and subtrahend
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with one exchange
Use column subtraction with two exchanges
There are multiple lessons on subtraction with one exchange as this is where I have found children struggle the most within the unit. There are multiple lessons with multiple representations and a variety of challenging questions which extend those who do grasp this concept quickly.

Some tasks, activities and planning is taken from a mixture of and inspired by White Rose, NCETM and various other planning sites and resources.
8 Lessons based on Sweden, all with activities.
Most of these lessons comes with PowerPoints to accompany. There are some lessons where a PowerPoint is necessarily needed so there are teacher comments on the activity sheet on what to do - some require using atlases or Google Maps.
The lesson learning objectives are as follows:
Design my own Swedish Darla Horse (art based - can be turned into a sequence of lessons easily and an art final product)
Compare England and Sweden on a map of the world.
Compare Swedish to English houses
Locate key landmarks on a map of Sweden
Identify Human or Physical Geographical features of Sweden
Why do 90% of Sweden live in the south?
Answer questions about Sweden
Compete in a quiz about Sweden.
2 of the resources are taken and adapted from Twinkl but the rest are my own created for my Year 4 class when we did a Geography unit on Sweden.
The following plan will go through these lessons:
I can understand what a myth is and identify their themes and features.
I can compare and contrast different versions of a Roman Myth
I can use drama to empathise with characters in a story
I can explain when to use possessive apostrophes in character descriptions
I can understand the general structure of a myth.
I can plan the characters and setting for my own myth.
I can use adverbials to open my myth.
I can use conjunctions in my myth.
Lots of fun to introduce the topic of Romans. Made for year 4 but can easily be adapted. Includes smart notes, differentiated resources and activities.
used as a stimulus for writing a job application
Spy Kids stimulus
Smart notes goes through a process of thinking about what the children’s skills are, what experience in secret agent work they have done before (imaginative thinking) and shows appropriate letter structure.
You will be downloading a Powerpoint for a series of lessons that cover the following objectives, stated by the NCETM for Year 4:
1 Pupils represent counting in threes as the three times table

12 Pupils explain the relationship between adjacent multiples of nine (2)
13 Pupils use known facts from the ten times table to solve problems involving the nine times table
14 Pupils explain the relationship between multiples of three and multiples of nine
15 Pupils explain the relationship between pairs of three and nine times table facts that have the same product (1)
16 Pupils explain the relationship between pairs of three and nine times table facts that have the same product (2)
17 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of three
18 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of six (1)
19 Pupils use the divisibility rules for divisors of six (2)
The learning objectives of the lessons included in the unit of work are:
1: Identify the multiplier and multiplicand
2: Count in and multiply by 3
3: Count in and multiply by 6
4: find the relationship between 3 and 6 times tables
5: count in and multiply by 9

Lessons come with accompanying worksheets that are structured into Fluency, Problem-solving and Reasoning tasks. Lessons are also accompanied by next steps which can be stuck into books.
The planning is heavily inspired by the NCETM but I have broken the lessons down into my own PowerPoints to ensure the steps taught are very small so all can access. This unit takes on a mastery approach to teaching maths and has been highly effective in my own classroom.
Included within the powerpoints are visual representations, small tasks for a ping-pong approach, stem sentences, high-level mathematical vocabulary, now/next/last visuals for SEN learners.
