There is the story and then two comprehensions aligned to the latest national curriculum and the questions mirror the ones asked in SATS in year 6. Quality text to extend vocabulary.

'The Real Thief' is one of my favourite children's books, here is an exciting unit I have created around this wonderfully engaging story about a loyal goose who is falsely accused of a crime and the emotions that surround this. The unit includes some drama to bring the story to life. It covers reading comprehension, poetry scripts, vocabulary development, shape poetry, persuasive writing and story writing in the first person. The key is not telling the children what happens next, so they do not know who the real thief is until you want them to.The language is exquisite. The second part of the story explores the real thief Derek (a mouse) and his changing emotions . Children learn to empathise when they think of how much they sometimes desire toys etc and can explore both sides of the story, learning that characters are more complex than good/bad.

A straight forward activity where the children answer various questions interpreting a pictogram graph. They have to be careful and remember than 1 face means 2 children!

It helps if the children have an introduction to contractions before beginning this. This is a really enjoyable activity which the children loved. They have to look through picture and chapter books to find examples of contractions.They find that they are often in dialogue. Give them a fixed time and a reward e.g.moves forward. We have a track on the wall and they have to get to the end by the end of the week by getting enough moves forward. If they get to the end they get a small prize. Very motivating. You can also give moves back which they don't like!

This is my simple version of bingo which involves everyone having the same board! They only highlight 4 or 5 of the squares and then get that number of counters. There is a mixture of questions and subtraction vocab such as minus, less, decrease and take away. You give clues by giving the answer to one of the questions or e.g. 'this is the subtraction symbol&'. The first one to have 5 counters on their board is the winner. This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.

You will need a Smartboard. Follow the slides to create a factory poem based on pictures and photographs focusing on the outside features of the factory. The slides take you though how to teach it. Create 5 or more lines following a structure e.g. The + adjective + noun + verb e.g. 'The callous chimney smoked..&' Then complete the line with a simile (like or as) or something else. This encourages them to use alliteration and personification. Use the useful adjectives sheet to extend their vocabulary. Please leave feedback!

Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table. You can do the easier one all together on the carpet and then the children can do the 6 times table one at their desks. I teach in a set so I can able to give them all similar work. If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!
