77 files in total. The preview gives you an idea of the flavour. Sample planning: Reading as a Reader Introduction Discuss the purpose of instructions, what could they be used for? Allow the children to discuss for 1 minute the different types of instructions that there are that they know of. Take feedback and write on spider diagram. Inform the children that they are going to be going through several types of instructions over the next couple of days and analysing them as a reader. What made them successful for them, what they would have done differently etc. Main Activity Discuss the ‘Witches Fingers Recipe’ with the children, What do they notice straight away that is useful for us as readers? Annotate on WB. Inform them that we are now going to create these treats reflecting on the information provided and how useful it was for us as readers. Split the class into 2 groups - Create the treats – discussing the instructions as they go along. Ask the children to complete the reflection sheet in pairs. Discuss the instructions with the children and their reflection sheets, what made them successful? What would they have done better? Why? How would it have changed these instructions? Were the children ablet o follow the instructions? Were they able to evaluate the effectiveness of these instructions as a reader? Were they able to identify some of the key features that made them effective, such as the layout etc? Introduction Remind the children that they are evaluating instructions as a reader. Inform them that today, they are going to be evaluating different card game instructions and their effectiveness. Also that we are not to support them, as they need to evaluate them themselves and they are going to tell me whether they were effective instructions at the end of the lesson and why. Main Activity Children are to be in mixed ability reading pairs, read through the instructions and follow the instructions independently and play the card games. Carousel the pairs to the different games, allowing them 10 minutes at each activity.

A great deal of planning on Fiction. Loads of great powerpoints and word documents. Sample: 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: (Mrs Shephard & Mrs Maguire’s groups) to work as a group on this task. MA: In pairs. Miss Noble 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?)

8 powerpoints 12 word documents Looks at the Greek Myths. Example : WALT: box up the labours of Heracles looking at details of setting, obstacles, proof of time, how obstacle was overcome for each event You need to draw or write brief notes about the setting of each event, about the obstacles that had to be overcome, the words used by the writer to show the passage of time and how the obstacle was overcome. Remember to think about the senses (what could be seen, heard, smelt, touched or felt) to describe the setting. Event 1: Setting Event 1: Obstacle

Some planning and powerpoints. Sample: (BOOKS) Go through the first few slides of the ppt. Discuss that we are going to be writing a letter pretending we are a soldier on the front line writing to their family or friend. Have an A3 letter on the board. What do chn notice straight away? Discuss the purpose. Why do we have the date? Why do we have the address? Resources: Checklist Letter example – one per child and A3 for WW (BOOKS) Quickly recap the lesson from yesterday. Quick fire feature checklist quiz Read the passage. Discuss any words that are unfamiliar. Chn are to work as a class to identify the main events. Can they now order the events? Remind chn that each event is a new paragraph Can we write linking words for each of the paragraphs? All chn are to have a go and write linking sentences/words in between their events. Resources: Read passage from war horse of an event for the chn to write a letter from.

couple of lesson plans and some worksheets. Sample: Share L.O and STS with the children. Introduce the cover for the new book – what do you predict will happen in the story? I predict that…….because Why do you think the book is called Tuesday? Has the time got anything to do with it? I think that it is called Tuesday because…. Give children images taken from the book – what order should they go in? encourage groups to discuss the order as a group – explain that there is no right or wrong answer because they are predicting. Invite children to share the order they chose and justify their choices. CT model writing the story using the order they have chosen and time connectives. Model THINK, SAY, WRITE, CHECK method for writing. Remind children of noun phrases to add interesting detail. Encourage MA children to use complex sentences. Resources: Tuesday images Sentence starter flash cards (differentiated) Time flash cards Images for books Share LO and STS. What do we know about the story so far? What are the main events? Children to share their work from previous lesson. Watch: How has the order changed from what you predicted? Arrange key images from the story in chronological order on the working wall. Language starters to retell the story – ‘So far I have discovered that…’ ‘First, then, after that…’ Whilst x was… y was…’What is inference? Where have you seen it before? Why is it important with this text? Establish that it has no words so we must assume what is happening to tell the story. Use the PowerPoint to tell the story as a class. Share L.O. and vocabulary – where are we on the learning journey. Ink Waster – Jotters – 2 minutes to write down everything you remember about the story. Key Questions When did it happen? Where did it happen? Did anyone see anything? Display an image – Can you explain what is happening? Partner talk using language ladder openers to support – children to share with class. Give groups of children images from the story and time connective sentence starters – children to sort the pictures into the correct sequence and use time connectives to retell. Explain written task. What is a noun phrase? What is an adverbial phrase? How would these be applied to this piece of writing? CT model writing against STS

Some nice powepoints and planning. Couple of weeks work. maybe a shade under. sample: Discuss the life of L.S. Lowry Read a short biography from the internet and add any more information the children know or have already discovered themselves. Recap the features of a biography. Word/sentence Level Connectives – recap time connectives and how to use them. Make up some sentences with ‘later, after, before etc’ H/A Children to write a short biography of L.S. Lowry Study some of the portraits created by L.S. Lowry Mind-map/thought shower words to do with the subject of the picture – using the name as well if available. Read some good quality character descriptions (level 5) (VCOP) Vocabulary – note down wow words that you may wish to include in your character description to describe thoughts and feelings. H/A Children to create character descriptions Use different narrative techniques to engage and entertain the reader. Select words and language drawing on their knowledge of literary features and formal and informal writing Create a poem based on L.S. Lowry Listen to ‘Matchstalk men’ linking the song to the work of Lowry Look at the Lyric of the song – discuss how songs are like poems. Thought shower words to do with Lowry, his subjects and the scenes he created – think of emotive language Discuss how we could write a poem about Lowry’s life, or about subjects or about Salford when he was painting. Look at a range of poetry and discuss how it doesn’t have to rhyme, but can; how it often has a beat/meter

Some nice simple planning for this excellent book. Plus some other bobs and bits. example: WALT: Prepare a short drama performance. Display an image of a cave on IWB. Hand out a post-it note to each child and ask them to write a sentence on it to describe one of the caves. Once they have finished, they should swap their post-it with a partner and try to edit or improve their partner’s sentence. Enlarge the illustration from pages 24-25 of Stone Age Boy. Ask the children to imagine how the boy feels as he enters the cave. Arrange children into an ‘alley’, with the children each facing a partner in a long line to make a corridor. Ask for a volunteer to be the boy and allow each child to say what he might be thinking as he walks past them down the middle of the cave corridor. Mixed Ability Groups: Ask children to work in groups to role play the boy and Om walking through the cave. They should prepare a short drama of this part of the story and they need to include a ‘narrator’, whose role it is to explain what the boy is thinking and feeling. Prompt children to use the thesaurus skills they worked on earlier in the week to find interesting words to include in their drama. Take time to perform some of the dramas. Ask for feedback from the other children including what went well and what could be improved.

A great set of planning. Concentrates on rewriting Shakespeare’s famous tal. Sample planning: Begin by introducing the new topic and the learning outcome. We will be studying ‘older’ literature. Explain that older literature is defined as anything written before 1914 but we are going to look at much older than this! Show a picture of William Shakespeare: children to TTYP – Who is this man? What is he famous for? Can you name any of his works? Come back together and elicit that William Shakespeare was an author – not of stories but of plays and sonnets (poems). Talk about some of his more famous work and explain that he wrote 38 plays and over 160 sonnets. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613 – why do you think he wrote mostly plays rather than stories? Elicit that he was an actor so he loved the stage and he intended his works to be acted out rather than just read and also because of the times. TV and film were not entertainment options and the majority of people couldn’t read so going to the theatre or watching an outside performance was very popular. Explain that Shakespeare’s plays can be broadly split into tragedies and comedies. TTYP – what does this mean? Show a list including some of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies and tragedies. Talk about our recent history topic – who would have been on the throne when Shakespeare was writing (Elizabeth I until 1603 and then James I start of the Stuart dynasty). Talk briefly about the context to Shakespeare’s plays – Elizabeth I ruled over a very successful empire, England was starting to explore and find new shores and arts & culture were becoming more important and sought after. Finish reading the children’s version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Explain that this has been adapted for a young audience – it has been changed from a play script to a narrative and the language and been modernised. List the main characters on the board, to include: The Capulets etc

Lots of nice planning. A melange. Three nice powerpoint on adverts. The kids have to build their own advert. Plus some performance poetry and general grammar. example: Starter – to recap on everything covered so far by using post it notes on the working wall, in order for students to see throughout the rest of unit (10mins). Split the class up into mixed ability groups of 5-6children and explain they will be working in these groups for the next few lessons. Tell them that the aim of today is to come up with some ideas for their own chocolate bars. What do they want it to be like? Who is it for? Is it cheap and easy or posh and luxurious? 10mins) Children then present their product ideas to the rest of the class and their slogan justifying why. Rest of class offer opinions whether they like it and if they think they could improve it (20mins). Pupils then to go back to their groups and complete an initial design idea for their chocolate bar, thinking about the points the rest of the class have made. Annotate work, stating why they have selected ideas for their product. Homework – find a product similar to the one they have designed and research it – e.g. how it’s been advertised before etc.

Show class an example of a newspaper front page. Can anybody name any of the different features? Call children out to front to highlight on IWB. Children are then sent off to have a go at annotating a real-life example on their own. Children will then be stopped and asked where they are with the task. As a class revisit work from the previous lesson (refer to working wall.) What can we remember from last lesson? Can you name any features of a newspaper? Children to be given a worksheet with cut outs from a newspaper article. Can any of you recognise these different segments of a newspaper article? Where would this segment go in a newspaper? Children will be asked to justify their choices as to why they have put a segment of the article where they have. Why would you put this here? Does this segment make sense here?
