A great unit on healthy eating. Lovely series of 5 powerpoints plus bits and bobs. sample planning : Keeping healthy In this unit we will learn: · there are many aspects to keeping healthy · about the heart · how heartbeat is affected by exercise · how early ideas about diet & health were tested Enquiry Skill Focus: · repeating measurements · representing data in bar charts and graphs and interpreting these · using results to draw conclusions Begin by discussing ‘science’ with the class. What do they think of the subject? Can they name any important scientific skills? Introduce topic and ask children what they think the word ‘health’ means. Talk with talk partners. Children to find definition in dictionary and write class definition on strips of paper for display wall. Lead into a class discussion on keeping healthy; can the children predict what sorts of topics we might we might be covering? Can the HA children predict what SC1 investigations we might be carrying out? Introduce children to the resources which will be available to help them during this topic; the working wall plus table mats. Explain that each science topic will have a topic page and a glossary. This glossary gives the definitions of important vocabulary which they will come across during the unit. Activity One Children to feed back and complete class prior knowledge map. (Even if facts are not correct, add them on and clear up misconceptions throughout unit.) Children could add to their own map in a different colour any facts they have not got, which their peers suggest.

4 main weeks’s work. Plus powerpoints and resorces. Great for year 6. Sample planning. Learning/Writing outcome: To plan, draft, write and improve an engaging short story in a particular genre using appropriate language and organisational features. Introduce the words ‘fiction’ and ‘genre’. TTYP and discuss the meaning of the word ‘genre’. At this point, introduce the new and improved writing journals where children can make notes during lessons, can jot down words they wish to magpie, jot words that they have generated but which aren’t suitable for the task in hand and can jot questions/things they are unsure about. Explain that I will prompt to use these for the first couple of days but then children need to become more independent. Prizes for most effective use! Ensure the children understand the difference between fiction ‘narrative’ and non fiction ‘non narrative’. Activity One Come back together and do class mind map for working wall. Ask children to think of any titles of books which could fit with any of these genres. Ask children to discuss their preferences and discuss our preferences with them. Activity Two Talk about how they sorted the books in activity two. What clues were you looking for? Talk about words which suggest different genres. Explain activity three. Activity One In lit books complete quick mind map of different types of fiction genre. Activity Two Children to work in table groups. Children to be given a wide range of fiction books from class/school library. Children to sort the books into fantasy, historical, science fiction and mystery by scanning the book, looking at the front cover and reading the blurb. Activity Three Children to have a selection of pictures from books (front covers and insides) and blurbs from a variety of fiction books. Ch to decide which genre they think they book comes from and justify their opinion by highlighting the key words or annotating the pictures. SEN: () to work as a group on this task. MA: In pairs. With teacher to work with ‘Quality Question Marks’ (both groups). HA: Independently. Plenary: What have we learned? What is narrative? Non narrative? What is a genre? Name some genres of narrative? What is your favourite? Why? Least favourite? Why? Does this link to visual literacy (i.e. do films and TV programs split into genres?)

Worksheets to help times tables. The 2 to 12 times tables are tested. 3 sheets for each one. You get 33 sheets The third sheet, for example, has a mixture of multiplication and division questions.

WILF – good expression Read through the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Children to discuss the features and the structure of the opening paragraph. Newspaper articles have all of the important information in the opening paragraph. The opening paragraph is not overly descriptive. This information includes who, what, when, where, why and how. (It is written this way because most people do not read an entire newspaper article all the way through. So newspaper writers put the most important information at the beginning). Children wrote learn the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Firstly as a class, followed by group work. Recap the features of an opening paragraph of an article. SW – target group to discuss the features of the article.

Some great planning you can use throughout the year for year 4 Maths.

Which column to we go to first to see which the bigger number is? What does it mean to partition a number? Children work though a couple of t. led examples. MA – 4 digit number sheet (MT) A – 3 digit number sheet (Indep) LA – partitioning 2 digit numbers. Discuss what each number is made up of - which is the biggest number in a group. Q? What happens if we swap the t & u around? (JH) Prep for Tue – do any children remember the rule for rounding. Discuss in talk partners and report back Partition, round and order four-digit whole numbers; use positive and negative numbers in context and position them on a number line; state inequalities using the symbols How many _ in each number? Children recognise how many Th, H, T & U are there WALT – round numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 WILF – rounding numbers accurately Mental addition of 2 digit nos Well organised pencil procedures Remind pupils of the findings from yesterday’s plenary.

Differentiated worksheets MA – ind A – MT less able JH Investigation. What is the highest and lowest numbers that will round to 4000. What is the difference? Multiply and divide numbers to 1000 by 10 and then 100 (whole-number answers), understanding the effect Children to use whiteboards – 10 x = Division Q? For MA WALT – multiply divide whole numbers by 10, 100 WILF - Understanding of the process Well organised work Moving onto decimals Mental maths methods What happens to a number when you multiply it by 10? Key points Children will know that add a 0 is not the correct answer. Decimal point stays in the same place. All children start by demonstrating their knowledge of mult by 10 and 100 then dividing by 10 100 MA – working with a mixture of whole and decimal numbers (JH) A – using whole numbers only LA – multiplying by 10 JH Who can explain the rule? Pupils are given 3 minutes to come up with the rule for multiplying by 10 or 100. Feedback to the rest of the class
