Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. This lesson focuses on using personification in poetry. It comes with an engaging powerpoint presentation and the related lesson plan and example poems. Children learn what personification is and why it is used in poetry. They then consider the effect of the personification used relating to images shown, thinking critically. In pairs/ small groups, the children then read a number of poems making use of personification discussing how they feel about the poems and language used. As a class then complete a modelled write, taking words and phrases from the children to create a stanza/verse of a poem based on the video clip on Australian bushfires. The children then write an additional stanza to the poem independently making use of metaphors for effect. For the extension task, children guess what image is being described in the poems using the personification for clues.

This three-week unit of work is based on the text Pig Heart Boy by Malorie Blackman and the Talk for Writing model with a baseline assessment- planning- imitation- innovation- independent application- final assessment. The pupils will learn what the features of newspaper reports are and how to identify bias. They will look in detail at a ‘model text’ and will learn this off-by-heart to help them reproduce similar sentence structures and vocabulary in their own writing. Through teacher modelling, they will embellish the class version on kidney xenotransplantation before writing their own independently using the techniques they have learnt. Lesson 1- Have a go writing own newspaper report Lesson 2- whole class guided reading on the model text (Pig Heart Boy based) Lesson 3- Looking at how cohesion is created Lesson 4- Features of newspaper reports Lesson 5- ‘Boxing-up’- looking at how the model text is structured Lesson 6- Analysing bias and how it is created in newspaper reports Lesson 7, 8 & 9- Shared writing with teacher modelling Lesson 10,11,12,13,14,15- planning, writing, editing and improving own newspaper reports This unit is planned for Year 5 and 6 children but can easily be modified to suit lower KS3 students.

This lesson will cover the objective: multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers. Students will first be taught how to use the column and grid methods to complete these calculations and reminded of the importance of place value. They will then practise using these methods on simple calculations and word problems. Differentiated worksheets are provided which require students to first work out calculations mentally, then use the methods learnt with simple calculations and then with word problems. By the end of the lesson they will have consolidated their understanding of multiplying decimals by integers and been challenged to do so in context. Answers are provided for the worksheets.

Water resistance is a force that tries to slow things down that are moving through water. It is a type of friction and sometimes called drag. In this lesson, students will learn what water resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about streamlining and how we make things streamlined in order to reduce water resistance. They will also learn about upthrust and how this enables boats to float. They will complete a quiz mid-way through to check understanding. They will then carry out an experiment to investigate how the shape of aluminum foil affects how it behaves in water. The experiment worksheet is provided as well as an explanation into the reasons behind this. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.

Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is a type of friction. In this lesson, students will learn what air resistance is and how it affects us. They will learn about Galileo Galilei who first investigated air resistance and how without air, objects with the same mass will fall at the same rate. They will learn about streamlining in order to minimise surface area and they will complete a quiz mid-way to check understanding. They will then carry out two experiments- 1) paper drop test 2) investigating how the size of a canopy affects the rate of a parachute’s decent. Sheets are provided for the experiments along with an interactive presentation and useful knowledge organiser. This lesson is 1/6 lessons on Forces.
