Very simple powerpoint to help children understand how to quarter quantities through halving and halving again. Includes some simple word problems to check understanding.

This is a set of 2 Art plans based around the famous painting ‘Starry Night’. The first plan focuses on the beautiful night sky in the painting, whilst the second looks at the buildings in the painting. Each plan has 3-4 creative activities which the children can rotate around. This could be done over 2 full days or a few weeks/half term. The art work the children create can be used to create a beautiful display. A simple powerpoint accompanies the planning to introduce the children to the painting and artist.

This resource includes a teaching powerpoint with interactive activities. Within the powerpoint are printable differentiated varied fluency and reasoning and problem solving activities for Spring Block 2 (with answers). The powerpoint finishes with some Did You Know? Facts about money and a traffic light reflection task. All you need for Step 1, teaching your Year 3 children all about pounds and pence. I hope you enjoy this resource. Thank you :)

This resource includes 7 days of detailed English Planning and resources which begins with the children listening to some Aboriginal Dreamtime stories before working in groups to act out one of the stories. The rest of the planning focuses on children using Talk 4 Writing to story map one of the stories before innovating it/inventing their own Dreamtime story. To give the planning purpose, the children choose how to present their stories. The majority of my class chose to make picture books/comic strips so they could read their stories to the children in Foundation Stage. The children in my class thoroughly enjoyed listening to and writing their own Dreamtime stories. This planning was written for a mixed Year 3/4 class, but was also adapted for an able Year 2 class. I hope you enjoy it!

I planned these activities for my children in Foundation Stage 2 and they loved them! You will receive 4 days planning based around 4 different activities which the children move around during the week. These include a Hot Seating activity to promote speaking and listening; a Free Buzz and Woody Class Challenge based around phonics/reading; a Please Help Us! Letter Writing activity; and a playdough activity where children create their own Toy Story character. A selection of activity templates and resources are included. These are all editable so you can change fonts and adapt to suit your children. These differentiated activities followed on from other Toy Story activities which the children enjoyed and talked about all year. I hope to add these soon x All activities could be adapted for Year 1 children.

Detailed English planning for Grade 1 based on the story of Stick Man by Julia Donaldson. Activities are differentiated as appropriate. There are plenty of opportunities for speaking and listening, along with peer work. Day 1 focuses on working together to make a list of different ways to use a stick. Day 2 encourages children to answer the question 'What is the most dangerous thing about being a stick man?' Children are invited to take on the point of view of Stick Man, arguing their view point and justifying their decision. Day 3 invites children to pretend they are Stick Man and recount the story to their family at dinner. Day 4 focuses on Stick Man's feelings and emotions throughout the story. Day 5 invites children to write postcards and letters from Stick Man’s point of view back to his family about one of his adventures. Please note this planning has been written using the English National Curriculum objectives.

Weekly planning based on The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. On Day 1 children listen to and retell the story through story maps. On Day 2 children use adjectives to change the opening sentence of the story. On Day 3 they explore woodland creatures and introduce a new character into the story. On Day 4 children use adjectives to describe the Gruffalo. On Day 5 children create their own terrible creature and describe him/her. This planning could easily be adapted/extended, so that children write their own version of The Gruffalo. Please note this planning has been written using the English National Curriculum objectives.

My children loved these activities. Ideally, you will need access to a woodland area. We began by visiting the 'Wise Tree' in the wood. The children sat around the tree and waited for it to whisper their names. They approached the tree and chose a name from each bag. This became their woodland name, for example Creeping Blackberry or Misty Willow. The children loved these names and we ended up using them in our daily register! The children then used their senses to describe the woods. On Day 2, the children wrote a description of the woods using their senses and exciting adjectives. On Day 3 we began to question whether or not the wood is enchanted! The children looked for clues in the woods before making their decision. For example, is it just a flower or is it a fairy's umbrella? On Day 4 the children wrote a description of what they found. For example, Walking in the enchanted wood I see an icy, frozen troll's tear. This can then be made into a shape poem on Day 5. This was a wonderful week of activities, loved by boys and girls alike. Enjoy!! Please note this was written using the English National Curriculum objectives

Full week's English planning for Grade 1. Children start the week by describing their favourite superhero and then go on to discuss whether Emmet from The Lego Movie is a superhero. The children describe Emmet and then go on to create Bricksburg or Cloud Cuckoo Land out of lego/collage materials. They finish the week by describing one of these settings using their senses. AWESOME week of activites which particularly inspired the boys in my class. Please note - this was written based on English National Curriculum

These lessons were planned for a series of 4 EYFS English lessons, but could easily be adapted for Year 1 children. The first lesson focuses on introducing the story and the children talking and writing about their own bedtime routines. The second lesson encourages children to retell the story using words and actions before sequencing the story using pictures and sentences. The third lesson takes the children outdoors as they change the setting of the story to Mr Bear trying to get to sleep in his tent in the woods. Children go on a sound walk to identify sounds which might keep Mr Bear awake. The final lesson encourages children to write their own simple story of Peace at Last with the new setting of the 'the woods'. If you do not have access to woodland, other outdoor areas could be used. All activities are differentiated and engaging. Hope your children enjoy them as much as mine. The sequencing pictures have been taken from the story Peace at Last by Jill Murphy.
