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.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. The purpose of this video is to show you what a typical lesson will look like. This showcases two lessons from a halloween sequence. It shows the key components of all lessons as well as how creative learning is successfully applied to maximise learning ,whilst ensuring students don’t experience cognitive overload.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. These resources are designed that they can be picked up and taught from however allow full user edits. The lesson will start with children recapping on prior learning. Children will label parts of Zack the Zookeepers body with their partner. This will lead onto a discussion about what parts of the body are there for. Children will reflect on Zack’s view that he only needs his arms and hands for the zoo. As a class children will discuss different body parts and what there uses are. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thankyou for looking at my resouce. Children will start the lesson recapping on their prior learning in the unit through a variety of parter and whole class quick tasks. Children will be given a number of choices through a discussion of would you rather? Children will look at how the choices relate to the senses. They will be provided with a clear definition of senses and consolidate this by identifying which sense was most important in their choices. Children will look at Zack the Zookeeper and a map of the zoo and identify how Zack experiences the zoo through his senses. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge. Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.

Thank you for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by recapping on the definition of animal and matching the animal group to the description. Children will reflect on what animals need to survive which will lead into being informed that Zack the zookeeper thinks that all animals eat the same thing. Children will discuss whether they agree or disagree with this. Children will be shown a number of animals diets and will reflect whether it is possible to remember all of the individual diets of the over 1.2 million animals that exist. Children will be introduced to carnivore, herbivore and omnivore as well a small task to ensure that children understand what is meant by meat and plant type foods. Further to this a discussion will be had about humans and those that follow a vegan/vegetarian/other diet. Children will build up to independently identifying whether an animal is carnivore,herbivore or omnivore based on their diet. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will not only be writing prepositions but also developing a clear understanding of what exactly a preposition is. Children will start with a warm up task identifying the nouns in a festive picture. Children will then play a wheres wally style game with a snowman which will lead on to children spotting that the commonality of prepositions. Prepositions will be defined however a child friendly version will be established. Children will identify the two nouns relating to the snowman and then identify the preposition. Children will do this a number of times to establish their understanding. Children will move on to independently writing the preposition for various items on a snowman. Helping hands - Children will choose the appropriate preposition. Chilli Challenge - Children will make a snowman and write instructions containing a preposition to instruct a friend how to make theirs.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. I have created 20 Christmas themed morning starter tasks. The tasks are designed to be completed independently and are purposely open ended to support and challenge all learners.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. The lesson starts with a noun warm up which will lead into introducing apostrophes for possession. Children will introduced to apostrophes for possession through seagulls.This lesson will work through common misconceptions to ensure children have a clear understanding of when to use apostrophes for possession. Children will complete two tasks. The first will be identifying correct and incorrect application and the second will see children writing short sentences using apostrophe for possessions.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This lesson focuses on adverbs and verbs. Children will be introduced to the elf. Children will start with a warm up rewind task where they will describe the elf. Children will think about their own experiences with an elf and what mischief they think an elf might get up to. Through careful well thought out small steps children will learn about verbs and adverbs and use these to describe what the elf gets up to. Children will create a comic strip of what the elf gets up to. Children will have access to a word bank.

Thank you for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will recap on their prior knowledge by playing spot the difference. This will encourage children to recall animal names and groups. Children will then be reminded of the five different animal groups. Children will be working with Zack the zookeeper who will think that all amphibians are the same. Using whole class investigation children will identify what is the same and what is different. Children will build up to independently comparing similarities and differences between animal groups and at the end of the lesson will be provided with definitions of the main groups. Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge.

This is the first lesson in a sequence. Children will be working to help Zack the Zookeeper. Children will start the lesson by recapping on their prior learning via a game of which is an animal out of two choices. Children will then be taught a definition of animal. This will be applied to a number of tasks to ensure the meaning is embedded. Children will be introduced to Zack the Zookeeper. All lessons are based on learning generated from problem solving. Children will learn that Zack has done a number of things wrong but the issue is the task doesn’t name the animals e.g giving dog food to the animals. Children will be shown a number of animals grouped into the 5 main animal groups. This will support learning in the next lesson where children will be defining the five main animal groups. Independent application - Children will have 5 posters showing different animals and find an animal that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Helping hands - Support teacher ‘expert’ group. Chilli challenge - Children to be given an opportunity to think further about individual animals.

Thankyou for looking at my resource Children will start with a warm up game of simon says which will lead into children recapping on verbs and ensuring all children have a clear definition of them. Children will think about what they did yesterday and discuss this in partner talk. Children will be shown an example of what somebody did. yesterday but the verb tenses will be incorrect. Children will start by exploring simple past tense verbs and spot that you simply need to add ed. Children will complete a task either independently or with support of an adult helping hands. A chilli challenge is provided when they have completed the main task - the differentiation comes in how children access the task. Children will then be taught examples where you can’t simply add ed. Children will again complete an independent task. Powerpoint user guide Throughout children are encouraged to rewind on prior learning through rewind sections.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. This lesson isn’t explicitly a Christmas maths lesson but it works really nicely. I have taught this lesson from year 2 to year 6 as simple strategies can be applied for year 2 where as year 6s can apply far more efficent and sophisticated calculations. In this lesson children will be finding which numbers can’t be made using gingerbread bisucit tins of 6 ,9 and 20. Children will have a number of small steps to build up their understanding of the problem and strategies they can use to calculate.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. Children will start the lesson with an I spy warm up. This provides a great opportunity to talk about nouns as well as getting children ready for learning. Children will move on to reflect what strategies they use to help them spell such as phonics. Children will shown a list of compound words and will discuss what is the same about them. This will lead into children learning what compound words are. Children will complete two tasks: Matching words to make compound words Identifying the words that have made the compound words. Chilli challenges will be provided to all learners - the difference will be in how children access it. Helping hands are provided for children who need some support to access the learning.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. I have been a maths lead for 5+ years. My subject was deep dived in the inspection which took it from unsatisfactory to good. I completed a maths specialist SSIF in 2019 and have a NPQ in leading teacher development. In this staff training the focus is variation as part of the five main ideas of mastery maths. This resource includes an indepth powerpoint as well as a plan and relevant resources.

Thankyou for looking at my lesson. Today children will be introduced to a Victorian toy maker. They will start by using clues such as girl and boys toys to identify what era the toy maker came from. Using their prior knowledge on Victorian toys. Children will continue to reflect back on prior knowledge when they learn the maker is going to travel forward to modern times. Children will reflect on times such as the 20th century. The toy maker will then show children a toy and will explain why they think its a good toy (the toy is completely against modern times such as attitude and technology) Children will be taught about why things have changed. MSTA - Materials, safety , technology and attitudes. Children will write a letter to the toy maker explaining why the toy is unsuitable. Chilli challenge - Children will be encouraged to give a recommendation and explain why this is a better toy. Helping hands - Children will have a scaffold to allow them to focus on the facts rather than forming sentences.

Thankyou for looking at my resource. In this lesson children will start with a warm up where they will think about the question - If you could make a toy what would it be? Children will rewind on their prior learning of modern day toys and 20th century toys. Children will continue to look at historical sources of evidence. Children will look at books about the Victorians to answer four questions. This will provide a general gist of when the Victorian era was, what Victorian life was like for the rich and poor and what schooling looked like. Children will be guided (in a ks1 manner) to make inferences about what Victorian toys might be like. Children will then learn about Victorian toys through an exploration of actual toys (pictures/videos may be needed if you can’t access Victorian toys) and then a teacher led input about the toys. Finally, children will complete small steps which will support them to independently make simple comparisons in their independent application.
