A fact file about David Attenborough that is also a reading comprehension. This includes three differentiated worksheets with 10 questions each and answers included to test children's comprehension knowledge as well as learning about David Attenborough at the same time.

Six different posters of animal silhouettes that include facts regarding how they survive in their environment. Useful to form part of a display or as fact files for children to understand features that help animals adapt to their harsh environment, whether hot or cold.

Attached is a full set of differentiated planning and resources for six lessons for electricity that cover the curriculum aims for Year 6. Included within this are tips for writing scientifically, looking at what needs to be included as well as a model example of a conclusion and what makes it good. Lesson One - The history of electricity - Reading Comprehension with answers included Lesson Two - Staying safe with electricity Lesson Three - What make good conductors Lesson Four - Circuits and symbols Lessons Five and Six - Conducting an experiment into variations in how components function During the unit of planning children will get to work on different skills including practising their reading comprehension, creating posters and writing scientifically.

A booklet full of fun, engaging and easy scientific experiments. All 46 experiments include what is required, instructions to complete it properly and an explanation of what is happening. Children will have great fun testing these experiments whilst learning at the same time.

A quiz that is a bit of fun/end of topic assessment for evolution and inheritance in Year 6. It takes on the form of a Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz with children competing individually, in teams or just doing it as a class as a bit of fun and a recap.

A lesson aimed at the Year 3 Science unit of Plants. This lesson is the sixth and final lesson of a sequence, focusing on reviewing the unit/ acting as an assessment of what children can remember and understand. There are a number of different tasks that link to what has been taught over the unit, including true or false, labelling diagrams, considering needs and thinking about roles of different parts of a flower. An answer sheet is also included and a presentation of the activity to discuss answers along each stage.

A complete writing unit for teaching explanation texts through writing one about the digestive system. It has been created with lower KS2 in mind but is easily adaptable. Each ‘lesson’ is broken into chunks of learning rather than directly being a one hour lesson. This means some of the lessons may take more than an hour and be completed over a sequence of lessons instead, with the focus being on the learning and activities within this rather than ‘rushing’ through in an hour. Altogether, there is approximately two weeks worth of lessons, with slightly longer depending on how long drafting, redrafting and publishing take. The unit includes lessons on: Features of explanation texts Cohesive devices Research Creating simple sentences Drafting and redrafting Publishing All lesson PowerPoints with notes are included as well as a model text, a summary organiser about the digestive system, activity sheets and a explanation text summary sheet.

Attached are moderation grids for the interim statements (recently released 2016-2017) for Writing, Science and Maths. This includes working below and greater depth for writing and can be used as a simple tick box exercise. Whilst they include many potential tick boxes, these are in no way how many pieces of evidence you require.

A presentation that gets children to create their own experiment to see whether they can affect magnetism through the use of different materials. The slides get them to work as a class/ individually or in groups to think about and write up different aspects of the investigation while they also have an investigation mat to help them.

An introductory lesson for Year 6 Living Things that gets children to practise being able to classify animals into different groups. Included are all the resources required for the lesson including the plan, presentation and activity sheets for children to use.

A lesson based on Year 6 Living Things that focuses on introducing microorganisms and focusing on examples of helpful microorganisms and also harmful examples.

A lesson for Year 6 based on Living Things where children will create their own animal. Included is a recap of the classification system before children then think about the different classes and how they will create an animal that fits the criteria for one of the classes.

Two lessons based on Year 6 Living Things that focuses on introducing microorganisms and focusing on examples of helpful microorganisms and also harmful examples before then working on being able to classify microorganisms.

A list of ideas for planning cross-curricular lessons based around a history topic. Included are ideas of how this could be linked to English, D.T, Art, Science, History, Geography, Music and Computer Science. Areas included so far: Battle of Britain Nottingham - A local history study

The second lesson of a sequence for light in Year 6. Initially, children will spend time recapping what they can remember from the previous lesson, including an activity where they have to identify light sources, before then moving on to considering how light travels. Children will create a diagram of how light travels based on the model they have seen and videos before labelling an eye to describe how we are able to see from the travelling of light into the eye. The lesson the ends with a quick mini-quiz.

The third lesson of a sequence for light in Year 6. Initially, children will spend time recapping what they can remember from the previous lesson before working on creating an investigation that focuses on how shadows change. Included to support them with their write up is an investigation mat.
