A PowerPoint to use when delivering an INSET based on ensuring lessons are sequential in whole class shared reading KS2. It is based upon the content domains and ensures lessons following a sequence. There is an example of a week of lessons for Y6 based upon the 2019 SATs reading test.

This includes 3 weeks planning on historical diaries and all resources, including Activinspire flipcharts for each lesson. It is based on the stunning novel 'Once' by Morris Gleitzman about WW2 and a child fleeing to find his parents. Many resources refer to My Secret War Diary, which is excellent for using extracts. This was aimed at my Y6 class, however can be used with Y5 or Y7+ if needed. The work produced by my class was stunning and the children fell in love with the novel.

This resource is intended to use for teaching Rap Poetry to Y6 - it really captures the interest of boys. There are 8 days planning included, alongside the Activinspire charts for each day, examples of poems to use with the 3 different ability groups, a self assessment grid and pictures. The poems are copyright to the given poets.
