Year 3 - English - Non Fiction - how to trap a dragon (instructions) 2 weeks of planning

(0)
Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and 1 PPT with most of the texts we used on it. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat. These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar as a starting point. Hope it helps :)

New White Rose Planning - Year 3 - Autumn 1 (Block 1 - Place Value)

I’ve uploaded my week 1 - 3 planning for Y3 Block 1 Place Value (that matches the updated White Rose Maths planning). Hopefully it will save somebody else some time! The starter activities referred to I’ve uploaded separately (they’re on a power point). https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mental-starters-11805783 (free) The other activities should be pretty self explanatory in reference to the White Rose planning (I haven’t included the resources and some were hand made and not digital, but see the examples given in the White Rose).
Year 1 - Whole year's worth of weekly plans - maths, literacy + medium terms for other subjects

Year 1 - Whole year's worth of weekly plans - maths, literacy + medium terms for other subjects

Hi there, I thought I'd share the love and give others a chance to benefit from the hours and hours worth of planning that goes into each weekly plan. These are my own plans for the whole of the year. You will obviously need to tweak as some half terms are longer/shorter, or INSET days may vary. I've also included all my weekly timetables with a weekly overview on it + homework for the year! Hope it helps somebody in need!
Editable book labels

Editable book labels

(0)
Hi there, I thought I'd update a set of book labels I made for our school to keep consistency. Each class has an animal name and picture as you will see, each of these is easily changed. We print these onto labels (standard 4 to one A4 sheet) to make it easier to stick onto books. There are 4 boxes in the bottom left, we use these to colour code books and identify for Pupil Premium, SEN, EAL and slow movers. This makes it easier for books scrutiny's but also mean the children won't know what they mean. Hope it helps somebody looking for a whole school theme!

Year 1 - Differientated homework for the whole year (Maths, Literacy, Phonics alternating)
RachelGraftonRachelGrafton

Year 1 - Differientated homework for the whole year (Maths, Literacy, Phonics alternating)

(0)
Hi all, I've used this homework for the past 2 years and it's always gone down well with parents. Each bit of homework is differentiated into 4 parts based on the ability groups and colours within my class (can be changed). I've included an initial letter to parents to explain the homework (on the first homework doc). I've never sent homework home to parents in Autumn 1 due to transitioning up from Foundation and the step up in learning already. It usually alternatives maths and literacy each week and then I've included phonics homework for when you near the phonics screening. All the homework was hand made by me, so not just copied resources from elsewhere online. Hope you find some use in it and can tweak it to suit your requirements.

RE whole school Y1-6 broken down objectives, planning, activities, trips, visitors + policy

(0)
Hi all, I'm RE coordinator (amongst other things) at my school and thought I'd share the the whole school planning I've put in place. We have a termly RE week so it's divided up in that way. I've also added in trips and visitors etc to cover all bases and so that we aren't duplicating across school. It has objectives for each year group broken down for each term. I've also then added planning ideas and activities for each. I've added our policy and also the Nottinghamshire Agreed Syllabus for RE where the objectives have been taken from. Hopefully I've saved you some work! :)
Phonics - soundstrips to use on tables

Phonics - soundstrips to use on tables

(0)
I use two sound strips to support my Year 1 class in their writing at their tables - I borrowed these from the school I did my training placement at, so I cannot take credit for them! The first contains all the sounds your class need to phonetically attempt any word. The second sound strip colour groups different ways to make the same sound. I have also included the word doc I use to assess which sounds the children can read and write. These assessments help inform my teaching in the lead up to the phonics screening test.
