A bundle of resources ideal for both the Stone Age Boy book and Cave Boy book and Stone Age topic in general
This is includes reading and writing (English and guided reading) resources, differentiated resources and whole lessons via the powerpoints here in addition to levelled comprehensions ideal for years 3 and 4 as I have taught - can be easily adapted to suit your classes !!
This also includes 3 big write stand alone lessons with examples and information which would easily see you a half term or more ! There is also a few other bits I have edited for other DT Geog based or topic based within this. This would be ideal for an NQT to use or a more expereinced teacher looking for somewhere to start with such a new topic ! I do hope this is useful !
Complete lesson on re telling a section of the Stone Age Boy story with an example we discussed in class - this is then levelled off into yellow blue or red sections and can be differetated accordingly - A great lesson with not that long on the carpet ! I have used this for year 3 and 4 now and each time the lesson has gone really well with the kids producing some great writing following the story ! I hope it is of use to you and can be adapted to suit your class !!
Sword in the stone reading and writing comprehension ideal for KS2 particulary mixed aged class ( mine!) this activity/lesson went really well to improve reading skills !
Different children read different parts then we discussed key words and phrases - then all of the children completed the attached activties within this Powerpoint identifying word classes intially to improve SPAG skills then developing their reading comprehensive skills with some inference also - Headteacher walked in mid lesson and really liked what she saw !
I hope this helps as a stand alone reading activity or English lesson !
A choices assembly ideal for children or Years 5 and upwards to year 9 or so - It is a bit basic and was a bit off the cuff however, having done this to a large year group of top heavy boys who were very sporty, it did very much appeal to them and the activties within in it in regard to choices and the choices we make in life.
The video is based on a Guiness advert but does not really reference this and is done as a documentary style
Ashwin Willemse: The Right Path tells the story of a man who had a choice of two paths when growing up. One dictated to him by a notorious Cape Town gang, and one he would need to make for himself, to follow a path to the pinnacle of rugby. The film celebrates the choice that he made to defy his circumstances, and with the encouragement of those around him, he became who he really wanted to be, eventually winning 19 caps for his country and becoming a World Champion in 2007.
The video is emebeded in the powerpoint and should work ! Any problems do give me a shout - this would be ideal for a pick up and go assembly ! Enjoy !
There`s a Pharoah in our Bath comprehension lesson and activities - levelled and 3 stages within this - you can differentatie accordingley as it contains blank sections to longer answers to do with inference in the later challenges - attached Powerpoint and worksheet - I have done this with Year 3 and year 4 and it has gone very well and gets the children working more than you !
