Lesson 3: Reading Historical Fiction Read a historical fiction book set in the same time period as Prince Charles’s lifetime, and discuss how the author uses real historical events and details to create a fictional story. Analyse the plot, characters, and setting of the book, and identify specific historical events or themes that the author incorporates.

8 documents 19 model texts for years 3 to 6 on flashbacks, diary entries, newspapers and non-chronological reports. 4 different planning templates for writing,

4 non-chronological reports about the Titanic in the style of an age 8, 9, 10 and 11 child. The reports ahve an introduction that briefly outlined the contents of the report, followed by sections on the history and construction of the Titanic, the disaster that led to its sinking, and the aftermath of the tragedy. The report concludes by reminding the reader of the importance of safety rules and valuing human life. In terms of grammatical features, I have used a range of adverbs and adjectives to add detail and description to the report. I have also used subordinate clauses to provide additional information and structure the report. Additionally, I have used a variety of punctuation, such as commas and colons, to separate ideas and create clarity in the text. .

6 diary entries in total. They can be used fro SEN children, differentiation or whole school teaching. Here is a summary of the Year 6 diary entry written from the point of view of a survivor of the Titanic: Title: My Survival Story: The Titanic Disaster Introduction: The entry begins with the author introducing themselves as a survivor of the Titanic disaster. They describe how the voyage began with excitement and luxury, but ended in tragedy. Description of the Voyage: The author provides a detailed account of their experience on the ship. They describe the opulent surroundings, the variety of people on board, and the excitement of sailing on such a grand vessel. The Sinking: The author then describes the moment when the Titanic hit an iceberg and the chaos that ensued. They explain how they were separated from their family but eventually found each other on one of the lifeboats. They also talk about the eerie silence that descended as the ship sank. Survival and Rescue: The author goes on to describe the harrowing experience of being in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, and the relief of finally being rescued by the Carpathia. They explain how they were brought to New York City and reunited with their family. Conclusion: The entry ends with the author expressing their gratitude for surviving and acknowledging the many who were not so fortunate. They reflect on the impact that the disaster had on their life and the world as a whole, and how it remains a reminder of the fragility of life.

As a member of SLT, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list along with the History lead to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Some vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with KS1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green. The vocabulary in purple is repeated from the previous key stage. This list can be used by: Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school. Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad art curriculum. Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge. Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum. To ensure Art is linked to English and reading where possible. Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic. My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of art vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English.
