Included is a 2 week plan for a unit of work linked to writing a news report of VE Day for year 6 (though could be differentiated for other year groups). Cross curricular links throughout particularly history and art but also music, maths, cookery as part of a start of unit ‘wow day’. Resources made myself are included, missing are those I found elsewhere such as example newspaper report and comprehension text (though these are easily found elsewhere). Also included are two homework ideas and an end of unit assessment document.

This was originally created as a home learning pack for year 6 but could work for many age groups and be edited to be used in school. I can’t upload all of the resources I used as I found them elsewhere but have included the templates which I created myself.

5 lots of differentiated questions linked to: Five Children and It Evil Star My Shadow (poem) Throwing a tree (poem) VE Day (text not attached)

Quick powerpoint to teach different sentence types. Linked to the book ‘Journey’.
