Hi, I am Lizzie a primary teacher with 10+ years of experience. I love teaching but the thing I hate is that Sunday becomes a work day. I believe that all teachers deserve to rest on Sunday. For the benefit of themselves and the students they teach. Hence the creation of Teachers Love Sundaes.
The resources I create are of a very high standard. All lessons include key vocabulary, rewind , active learning throughout, problem solving generated learning , stem sentences and so much more !

Lesson 1 - Children to create six Halloween costume ideas and choose their favourite.
Lesson 2 - Children to use adjectives to describe their costume. Children to be challenged to use expanded adjectives to add more detail to their writing.
Lesson 3 - Children to write a description of their Halloween costume.
Thankyou for looking at my resource.
Central to the lessons within my teaching is by introducing the learning through a problem that can only be solved using the LO. e.g identifying a picture through a sentence that doesn’t contain expanded adjectives so it is impossible to identify the picture.Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding.

Children are also exposed to fast forward where they will see how their learning applies to future learning (be this the next lesson or in future years)
Chilli challenges encourage children to maximise their learning. Challenges should be given to all. Not just your most able. They are purposely open ended. The ‘differentiation’ comes from how your most able access the task.

Summary of learning objectives and task
Lesson 1
L.O To generate ideas for a character description
Children will design six aliens and choose their favourite.
Lesson 2
L.O To use adjectives to describe a character
Children will use their senses to write adjectives about their alien.
Lesson 3
L.O To use adjectives to describe a characters personality.
Children will write attributes to describe their alien.
Lesson 4
L.O To write a character description.
Children will write a description of their alien.
All lessons start with children solving a problem that can only be solved using the LO. e.g identifying a picture through a sentence that doesn’t contain expanded adjectives so it is impossible to identify the picture.Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving and having ownership of their own learning they develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding.

In this resource there are four lessons. Each lesson focussing on a specific type of sentence.
Lesson 1- Questions
Lesson 2 - Command
Lesson 3 - Exclamation
Lesson 4 - Statement
Indepth preview of lesson 1
In lesson one children will look at question sentences.
Children will be challenged to think why we need question sentences via the example of a new child starting in their class. Children will then be taught what a question is and using the child starting in their class will work with a partner to apply the 5 ws + 1h to questions they may ask a new student. Children will independently apply these to a similiar example in their own books where they will fill in the missing W/H. With the most able being challenged to write further questions while helping hands in the form of the teacher to be available. Children will return as a class and look at how we write a question sentence such as the punctuation. Children will be introduced to an alien who has given some answers. Children working with their partner will write the questions they think the alien was asked. Finally children will move on to independently writing the questions they think a paramedic was asked based on their answers. Helping hands scaffold and Challenge additional questions.
Every lesson involves children being encouraged to idenitfy the importance of what they are learning. This is usually through a direct problem such as following instructions where there is no verb to emphasis the importance of a verb in instructions. Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving children develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding of their learning.

In this bundle children will focus on the very basics of a sentence. The noun and the verb. Children will then move on to using adverbs / adverbial phrases to expand sentences.
I have used this throughout the school from year 1 all the way up to year 6 (when they need a bit of a reminder after a holiday)
Through carefully constructed small steps children will not only learn about the different parts of a sentence but also through problem solving learn the importance of these to a sentence.
Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving children develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding of their learning.

Lesson 1 - Where and when
Lesson 2 - How
In this set of lessons children will be looking at simple sentences and expanding them using when and where adverbs/adverbial phrases.
Children will look at the problem with simple sentences. For instance children will be unable to identify which picture a particular sentence belongs to and through this will learn the importance of expanding sentences using adverbs/adverbial phrases . Research has shown that when children learn through problem solving children develop a deeper and longer lasting understanding of their learning.
Children will do a variety of carefully thought out small step tasks to build up their understanding of what an adverb/adverbial phrase is and how to apply these using when,where and how.
