5 KS2 PSHE, British Values and History Lessons and PowerPoints with video links
All lessons are interactive and involve role play, group or art activites.
A comment on this resource has stated that the lessons are simply researched based. Here is a break own of the lessons and their task. I have not included any English writing based tasks however I have noted her how you can expand on this resource.
Here are the activities explained in each lesson in the PowerPoints. It seems that you have miss read them.
What is the difference between ceremonial duty and a constitutional duty? Research based- adapt for year groups Y6 could write an explanation (English not PHSE).
** Lesson 2 Cultural Significance:** In this lesson, students will explore the cultural significance of a coronation ceremony. Students will discuss how the coronation ceremony reflects British culture and tradition and how it has evolved over time. Students can also compare the coronation ceremony to other cultural ceremonies and discuss the similarities and differences.
-Create a Venn Diagram to compare The British and Japanese Enthronement Ceremony. If you wish to extend, Y6 could write a comparative text (English not PHSE).
Lesson 3 Historical Context:
In this lesson, students will learn about the history of the British monarchy and the role of the coronation ceremony. Students will then focus on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and discuss the possible changes that will occur during King Charles III’s coronation.
To create a game show style activity to test each other’s knowledge on The Queen and King Charles III coronation. If they wrote this activity out in their books this is the same as creating a reading comprehension task (English not PHSE).
Lesson 4 Royal Symbols: In this lesson, students will explore the symbols associated with the British monarchy, such as the crown, sceptre, and orb. Students will discuss the significance of these symbols and how they are used during a coronation ceremony. Students can also design their own royal symbols.
To create physical items of the symbols used in a British coronation that will be used in a role play activity. This can be as Art based and creative as you wish, you could even use it as part of a Design, Create, Evaluate DT lesson.
** Lesson 5 The Coronation Ceremony:** In this lesson, students will explore the elements of a coronation ceremony, including the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the presentation of the regalia, and the coronation oath. Students will research and create their own version of a coronation ceremony.
Role play a coronation. This is a fun activity with opportunity for photos but of course they could recount this using key vocabulary from the 5 lessons.

I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand-alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
Level 1: Colour and font
Level 2: Bullet points
Level 3: Text boxes
Level 4: Images
Level 5: Spelling and grammar check
Level 6: Symbols
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.
The success criteria in this bundle are taken from the English National Curriculum for Year 6 writing.
They are designed using child-friendly language to allow children to self-assess their writing as they plan and write.
The files are Word documents with 3 tables per page. Print on table per child and stick them in their books before they begin writing.
Columns are provided for child/peer self marking and for teachers to leave feedback.

As an experienced teaching SENCo I found that staff would rely heavily on my expertise before identifying the children’s need or supporting them in the classroom first.
This took up a lot of my time so I created a 7 step referral process for staff to reevaluate how they approached seeking support for those pupils with SEN.
Step 1: Initial Observation forms for staff to complete independently
Step 2: Referral to SENCo form for staff to show observations and note concerns
Step 3: SENCo 5 minute observation Form
Step 4: Observation Follow Up meeting
Step 5: Evaluating need. This is an excel sheet with lots of external links to free programmes and resources that can be used as internal support an intervention when external referrals are not necessary
Step 6: Graduated Approach and SEN Review Form
Step 7: Gathering Evidence for external referrals
Step7a: Parental View form

As a foundation subject lead I created this glossary of art terminology/ extended vocabulary list to ensure that the children in my school had a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum.

I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary for each year group. The vocabulary lists are broken into Key Stage 1 and 2 and are progressive showing high frequency words, sight words, vocabulary from the national curriculum and where appropriate, the year group spelling lists. These features are colour coded within the document.
