Included is a 3 week plan for a lower key stage 2 class (year 3/4) on Fractions. This plan is extremely detailed with diagrams and resources included! The following statutory requirements of the national curriculum are covered: YEAR 3 Pupils should be taught to: • count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10 • recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators • recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators • recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators • add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ] • compare and order unit fractions, and non-unit fractions with the same denominators • solve problems that involve all of the above YEAR 4 Pupils should be taught to: • recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions • count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten. • solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number • add and subtract fractions with the same denominator • recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths • recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2 , 3/4 • find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths • round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number • compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places • solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to two decimal places.

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through 15 Guided Reading sessions using the book The Hodgeheg by Dick King-Smith. Included in the pack: • Questions which focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference, predictions, author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. • Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities/Questions. • Reading and respond to the text activities. This resource has been used with KS2 classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores. This could also be used for Year 2 (KS1) groups.

A resource I’ve created when introducing my class to decimals. It begins by introducing the definition of the word decimal and then uses diagrams and images to explain this further. After teaching about tenths and hundredths, the children then complete a worksheet where they are identifying tenths and hundredths in decimal numbers with numbers with up to 2.d.p. We then move onto converting fractions into decimals, comparing decimals using <, > and = and ordering decimal numbers. There are three worksheets to support this lesson. This worked really well with my class and I now have a very confident group of children who enjoy learning about fractions!

This worksheet teaches that an adverb is a word that describes a verb, adjective or another adverb. It has a clear visual which teaches that there are 5 different types of adverbs: time (when?), place (where?), manner (how?), frequency (how often?) and degree (how much?) This worksheet has a range of sentences (written in cursive joined handwriting). The worksheet explains that the child needs to underline the adverb and tick whether it is a verb of time, place, manner, frequency or degree. My class really enjoyed this resource and understood it well.

Included is a series of 10 English lessons based on The High Street by Alice Melvin. Throughout the lessons, children will learn about and apply their learning of nouns, adjectives, determiners, lists and rhyming words. Learning objectives covered in this series of learning are: To use the determiners ‘a’ and ‘an’ correctly. To write a list. To use commas in a list. To use adjectives to describe nouns. To write creatively. To review and edit my writing. By the end of the project, each child will have created their own version of The High Street zig-zag book. This pack included all of my lesson plans for these ten lessons as well as copies of each resource needed. I absolutely loved planning this and hope you enjoy the series of lessons.

A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 19 in-depth lesson plans. Links to resources are included. A knowledge organiser which is a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need about a unit of work or a curriculum subject. The information is presented clearly and is broken down into easily digestible chunks. This series of lessons covers: • To demonstrate what I already know and want to know about Britain in the 1930’s and World War II To experience life as a child in 1930’s Britain To understand the importance of gas masks during World War II To make my own gas mask replica To understand the importance of National Identity cards during the war To learn about Operation Pied Piper To understand the importance of evacuation during World War II To find out about the experiences and feelings of evacuees To understand what WWII was and where, when and why it took place To understand how life changed for evacuees To understand the importance of Anderson shelters and to create a replica To learn about Land Girls and the role women had in the war To find out what rationing was, why it was necessary and how it impacted people’s lives To understand who was in charge during World War II To recognise the different planes used throughout World War II To understand what the Blitz was and which areas were most affected To understand the importance of propaganda posters To dance a war-time dance, The Lambeth Walk To understand why WWII ended and experience VE Day Throughout this series of lessons, the children will be in role as evacuees who have been evacuated from London to the countryside. Alongside the lessons, they will be documenting their experience in an evacuee diary.

This resource is a 16-page booklet which includes sections on: Market research Target audience Idea generation (flavours, textures shape, colours) Brand design (product name, logo, slogan, USP) Product packaging design Photos of product Evaluation with prompt questions During this project, children will be designing their own chocolate product from start to finish. After carrying out market research, they will choose their target audience. They will then generate many ideas before finalising a brand name, logo, slogan, product and USP (unique selling point.) With this in mind, they will then create a final design for their product’s packaging. Once the product has been created (and tasted!) they will complete an evaluation of it. Every class I have completed this project with have absolutely loved it and always talk about it for many years following! National Curriculum D&T links: Design use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design Make select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities Evaluate investigate and analyse a range of existing products evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work I completed this project whilst also teaching about the Mayans in geography/history.

A brilliant resource for children to apply their learning of 2D shapes. They need to choose a colour for each shape on their key and then colour in the 2D shapes accordingly. The worksheet address regular and irregular shapes. The children really enjoyed this activity and this was a great way to demonstrate their learning.

An engaging activity where children must complete the addition calculations using the column method to crack the code. The code is an answer to a joke. I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom. Version A: Adding 2-digit numbers without carrying Version B: Adding 2-digit numbers with carrying Version C: Adding 3-digit numbers with carrying
