This bundle includes three lesson plans with resources to be used with the cross-curricular rainforest theme. Art, Drama and Music are all covered in this bundle. All individual lesson plans can be found on their own in my shop however purchasing the entire bundle is cheaper and more beneficial in terms of its fluidity.
This resource is aimed at Year 4 children during their non-chronological topic looking at explanation texts. It is beneficial for the children to be able to write their explanation text in the same format they would read an explanation text in as opposed to simply writing it out in their books.
This template could also be used for a variety of other lessons.
A fantastic starter for Year 4 children who have been introduced to fractions of quantities, or as a recap for Year 5 children.
It allows the children to work in pairs and use the starter as a game to practice their ability to calculate fractions of quantities.
Included is two separate documents, one is for higher ability (HA) and the other for lower ability (LA).
Each document has two sets of the game on one sheet allowing the required number of sheets to simply be printed. Printing them on coloured paper can also make it more interesting for the children. Laminating them and keeping them in envelopes/plastic pouches can keep the individual games together and allow them to be used over and over again.
This resource is for Year 5 and includes a variety of resources covering gestation (humans and animals), puberty, and old age developments. This resource includes: a topic cover page, 2 lesson plans, 2 lesson powerpoints, a variety of worksheets, and a differentiated worksheet. The lesson plans are detailed but can easily be reduced. The learning objectives are: 'to know what happens during pregnancy and explore the gestation periods of different animals' and 'to consider the changes that take place during puberty and old age'. This resource covers the statutory requirement: 'describe the changes as humans develop to old age' (DfE, 2013), as well as some aspects of working scientifically. The resources are all designed to be used together.
This resource is simply an extra practice sheet (with a separate answer sheet) for students who simply need a few more practice questions to solidify their knowledge and understanding. It is most appropriate for Year 5 however can be adapted to suit other years. Some of the questions are taken from the Rising Stars programme pupil workbooks.
This sheet is handy for the student to either work on during spare time they may have/homework club, or can be set as casual homework to be gone through together or marked together at a later date.
It is worth noting that I put together this sheet originally for a student who asked for more help, it was not extra work given, it was provided at their request, and that is how I wish for this sheet to be distributed to any other students.
This worksheet belongs with it's original full resource set which you can find on my profile that comes with a differentiated worksheet, and a lesson plan.
An activity worksheet for Year 6 Geometry: Properties of Shapes in relation to 3-D nets and 2-D shapes. It comes with two documents, one is a Worksheet which gives space for the answers/drawings, the other is a Task List with the same activities but the work itself will be done in their books.
This worksheet as it stands is more of a free taster, but there is no reason why it cannot be used on its own.
This resource is a Year 6 Mathematics lesson plan on Geometry: Properties of Shapes. Included in this resource is: A detailed lesson plan including lesson objectives, outcomes, starter, main activity and timings (based on a 1 hour lesson).
There is also two types of worksheets differentiated based on ability. The Green Sheet (as detailed in the lesson plan) is for the lower-ability children, and the Blue Sheet is for the higher-ability children, with the opportunity for you to decide on the activity most appropriate for those children in the middle. The activity itself is for the majority the same, as is the final outcome, and the basic knowledge of the topic. The worksheets come as two sets of Green and Blue, one set is a Task List of the activities, the second is a Worksheet with space for answers/drawings removing the need for books during the lesson. For those children who are significantly struggling there is also a Net Guidance Sheet.
The learning objectives (DfE, 2014) for this lesson are:
1. To recognise, describe and build 3-D shapes
2. To make nets for 3-D shapes
3. To draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles
A free download of one of the worksheet sets is available for you to take a look at before you buy, however the lesson plan helps considerably as does having the differentiated worksheet. If you do choose to download this resource or the free one I would really appreciate it if you could leave a review.
This resource comes with a lesson plan for the Year 2 topic Uses of Everyday Materials (DfE, 2014) and is done in detail with timings, materials, learning objectives, learning outcomes, links to other areas of the curriculum, the science process skills, new vocabulary underlined, and the activity itself.
The activity should be set up as a circus of activities with four tables set up differently for each activity (to be done before the lesson).
With this resource there is also a risk assessment (feel free to edit as you feel necessary), and an Everyday Materials Worksheet to be used alongside the plan.
This lesson plan and subject area in particular is ideal for joining with a Design and Technology lesson in making a bird feeder, and as such there are references to that in this lesson plan.
This lesson also requires the use of a TA where possible due to the use of water.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could review this resource whether you use it or simply download it. Also, if there are any issues with the worksheet itself due to the varying differences in Microsoft Word, please do let me know by contacting me and I will try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Year 3. This resource includes the lesson plan and the relevant accompanying worksheet.
This lesson can involve the children in the production of music for a particular setting and can give the use of instruments an ‘enjoyable, challenging and also achievable” context for KS2 (DfE, 2011). Allowing the children to listen to and identify sounds can encourage “active and passive listening” and the playing of instruments, “tuned and un-tuned percussions” as the basis of this lesson also satisfies the music curriculum (DfE, 2011). Providing an activity whereby group activity through music is a key feature can at KS2 contribute to the children’s social skills (DfE, 2011). The lesson provides a wealth of opportunities for the children to express their creativity in terms of music through their performances, choices of instrument, and interpretation.
This resource is designed to be used alongside the cross-curricular links to both Art and Drama also through the Rainforest theme. Having a theme such as the Rainforest can give children a broad concept to work with so that they have the opportunity to explore the theme in a way that suits their learning style.
To get the most from this lesson plan you will need to create the PowerPoint listed in the resources.
Year 3. This resource includes the lesson plan and the relevant accompanying worksheet.
This lesson gives the children the opportunity to create their own scenes as they are using their imaginations in response to the video clip they are shown, developing different Drama skills such as hot seating, improvisation, performing and evaluation. It provides them with opportunities to perform to “a range of audiences” by improvising in smaller groups during hot seating, and performing their scenes to the wider group (ACE, 2003).
This resource is designed to be used alongside the cross-curricular links to both Music and Art also through the Rainforest theme. Having a theme such as the Rainforest can give children a broad concept to work with so that they have the opportunity to explore the theme in a way that suits their learning style. Using the Rainforest theme can allow the children to access their appropriate KS2 expectations to “produce work with a clear story line and structure”, and following the theme through the activity provides the children with the opportunity to engage more with their characters (ACE, 2003).
Year 3. This resource includes the lesson plan and the relevant accompanying worksheet. It provides the children with the opportunity to “explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form, and function” (DfE, 2014). They have the opportunity explore an artist who paints with the Rainforest as inspiration linking directly with the theme. Using their sketchbooks to develop their ideas and create a final piece is appropriate for KS2 children and contributes to their Art subject objectives (DfE, 2013). The specific activities and resources provide opportunities for the children to develop their skills, thought processes and evaluation abilities, which are valued across the curriculum.

Year 3 radio broadcast lesson plan. It includes the context that the lesson needs to be taught in in terms of what they already know, the resources required, the introduction, and final part of the lesson. This lesson plan contributes to their Year 3 Narrative Unit 1. It aims to develop their use of appropriate vocabulary for the context, and their ability to identify the key elements of an informative broadcast and the language used in terms of how it can create a change in focus. A large focus for this lesson plan is the development of their speaking and listening skills in terms of performing to the group, working in a group, and listening to others and their feedback.
This French Number Line Game Sheet is designed for Year 3 but can be adapted to suit lower years if they are familiar with smaller numbers. It is ideal for engaging the children in a fun and stimulating context to help them visualise the numbers in the correct order and in relation to the numbers in English to make them easier to remember.
This resource includes instructions for the game and the timeline and numbers in French to go with it, it also includes a separate sheet with the timeline and numbers together to allow you to simply photocopy them and cut them in half.
It satisfies the Key Stage 2 learning objective to be met 'to play games to help remember' and the learning outcome of beginning 'to know numbers 1-10' (QCA, 2007). It also includes becoming familiar with their core language in Unit 1: All about Me. It is also possible to meet the speaking and listening aims to 'engage in conversations; ask and answer questions; express opinions and respond to those of others; seek clarification and help' and to 'listen attentively to spoken language and show understanding by joining in and responding' (DfE, 2013)
