Year 2 To identify uses of different everyday materials Design a play park

(0)
Thankyou for looking at my resource. This is the first lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable. Children will be designing a new play park. Children will be shown two play parks and will think about which park they would rather play at. Children will be provided with a stem sentence to improve oracy. Using the play park children will complete a number of tasks to ensure children have remembered their prior learning from year 1 and that it is at the forefront of their thinking ready to apply for their new learning. Children will identify the materials used at the play park, differentiate between the object and the material and finally think about why certain materials have been used at the playpark based on their properties. Children will move on to identifying the uses of different materials throughout the school. 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.

The lessons can be picked up and taught from however provide the freedom to edit based on individual needs. Lesson 1 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. Lesson 2 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. Lesson 3 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. Lesson 4 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. Lesson 5 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 their 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.

Powerpoint user guide Throughout children are encouraged to rewind on prior learning through rewind sections. 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 maximize 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.

KS1 Writing question sentences

(0)
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.
