Isambard Kingdom Brunel was a famous engineer who lived in Victorian times. He was a very good engineer and he won a competition to build a bridge over the River Avon. This bridge became the Clifton Suspension bridge. This unit links to the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements in the Programme of Study and considers the key historical enquiry question, How do we find out about Isambard Kingdom Brunel? It introduces the children to the idea of historical sources, introduces the concepts of old and new, and encourages them to think about the life and times of a famous person. The approach used could be applied to the study of other famous people. It provides a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their spoken language. It is helpful if the children have: ordered events in time and used everyday terms about the passing of time; answered questions about people/ events in the past using pictures and written sources; recounted episodes from stories about the past; looked for similarities and differences between today and the past. Lesson 1: How do we find out about a famous person? Lesson 2: The story of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Lesson 3: Recording the life of a famous person.

Lesson 6 : Does Tomas Believe in Unicorns- LO:To explore characterisation through drama. Lesson 7:Tomas and the librarian- LO: To use empathy to explore the character of Tomas About this unit There are six units on fiction in this file for years 5 and 6. The second unit focuses on the work of modern authors of children’s fiction. We have chosen to focus on Colin Thompson and Michael Morpurgo, but it is possible to repeat some of the activities using books by other authors with whom the children may be familiar, such as Roald Dahl and David Walliams. The children will examine the story structures and aspects of each author’s style and will have opportunities to write short stories of their own. They will be encouraged to explore various characters and situations through role play and will work towards writing and staging their own short plays. They will develop the habit of keeping a reading journal (on paper or screen) as a way of supporting and extending reading. The Michael Morpurgo lessons are more challenging and you may wish to use them later in Upper KS2 than those on Colin Thompson’s books. The unit focuses on Books by Colin Thompson, for example The Paradise Garden, The Paperbag Prince, Falling Angels, Sid the Mosquito and other wild stories and I Believe in Unicorns and Why the Whales Came by Michael Morpurgo.

Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination. Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules. Leave a review

This non-fiction unit looks at persuasion and argument. Children will read and evaluate texts intended to inform, protest, complain or persuade. In doing so, they will consider how the texts are set out and what language devices are used. They will notice the deliberate use of ambiguity, half-truth, bias; how opinion can be disguised to seem like fact; infer writers’ perspectives from what is written and from what is implied. Children will investigate the use of persuasive definitions, rhetorical questions, pandering and condescension. During the unit, children will write persuasive letters for real purposes, for example to put a point of view or comment on an emotive issue. The first two lessons focus on writing persuasively about environmental issues. The next two lessons look at formal and informal writing and at how to produce a balanced argument. In Lesson 5 the children will take part in a formal debate. The final lesson looks at a famous wartime speech by Winston Churchill. (This could be used separately during a history lesson.) Lesson 1: How big is your carbon footprint? • Evaluate texts intended to persuade. • Identify persuasive devices • Infer what is implied 2 Green letters• Know the features of a persuasive letter. 3 Exploring a controversial issue • To identify textual viewpoints – for, against and balanced.
