Lesson 6 of 6. This lesson looks at different volcanoes around the world, recaps on advantages and disadvantages of living near a volcano. The children will use the fact file sheets and given websites (linked at the bottom of the fact file) to research different countries with volcanoes on them.
Fact files have been designed with relation to the given websites which are linked at the bottom of the slides (on the powerpoint version of worksheets)
To understand the evolution of prehistoric art.
Place a range of pictures ,on a timeline at the front of the room, of art work created in the Paleo/ Meso/ Neo periods – write period names on the back
of the pictures.
(on the powerpoint with photos for room they are ordered for paleo - Neo time periods.
• Children to discuss how the art changed over this time and the types of
animals/ patterns used
Then they will create their own versions of early prehistoric art. Give children little square pieces of paper and charcoal to recreate cave paintings/ rock art. In books children can recreate art and then write a few sentences next to the pictures to articulate understanding.
WALT understand the significance of the Neolithic Revolution.
The children will explore that this was a time of great change - in fact so
much changed that it is now called the Neolithic Revolution.
Using Skara Brea as an example look at how these early farmers
were living.
Create a fact file or diagram of the Skara Brea village that shows
the gathered information.
Finish the lesson by asking the children
• What stayed the same between the Paleo/ Meso and
Neolithic periods of time?
• What is different between the Paleo/ Meso and Neo periods
of time?
The pedegogy is adaptive teaching so the task is the same, questions are adapted per sheet. The first sheet is designed for your pre key stage children.
To understand Neolithic religion and the significance of
Stonehenge.
explore 3 key reasons that archaeologists think the
henge monument was built; Burial and a place of remembrance for the dead with ceremonies and feasts, a centre of healing, a place to observe the movementsof the sun and moon to mark points in the year as a solar
calendar.
Information about each theory around room or use the yr 3 research powerpoint for children to access on teams/ school server. Get the
children to record 3 pieces of evidence for the theory.
Finally bring everyone together and compare evidence collected.
Which theory do we think is most likely?
Children to write a recount of why they think this is the right
theory.
EAL, Pre keystage sheets are provided.
Bronze to Iron Age Unit
Lesson 1 of 6.
Explore Bronze Age life and create a leaflet.
includes:

•Lesson 1 - Cold Task
• This lesson should provide the context and purpose for writing.
• Lots of talk to discuss topic, generate ideas, start banking language (Collect it!).
• Look at one key WAGOLL
• Children attempt to write their own using success criteria
Lesson 2 - Analyse language.
• Spend TIME doing this!
• What effect is language having on reader?
• Bank examples.
• Play with examples.
• Lots of talk.
• Make up own sentences orally using examples as scaffold. Imitate.
• Where else do you see similar language that you can draw on?
Lesson 3- Analyses structure.
• Spend time doing this!
• What effect does the structure have on the reader?
• Reverse plan by boxing up and heading each section of WAGOLL(S).
• Discuss: what happens if you change the order?
• Why is it laid out this way?
• Are there other ways to structure the text?
Where else do you see similar structures that you can draw on?
Lesson 4 - Thoughts and feelings

Lesson 11 - Hot Task
Children write independently
Lesson 1 out of 6.
This unit looks at the earth’s movements and specifically volcanoes. This lesson dives into tectonic plates, their movements and continental drift theory to help children conceptualise that the plates beneath our feet are always moving.
There are lots of activities within the lesson to engage the children. You will require soil/sand for one activity as the children will dig for fossils like Wegener did to explain continental drift.
Lesson 1 - Sources of Light
WALT recognise we need light in order to see things
Activities
Chn to understand what a source of light is, and explore examples of different sources of light.
Chn to explore natural and man-made sources of light. Chn to sort light sources according to whether they are natural or man-made.
Use a torch and a cardboard box. What is inside? Children to guess before using the torch.
Close eyes/use a blindfold and children have to carry out a task.
SATS Reading paper broekn down into domains.
This resource is ideal for SATS practice, especially good if you want the questions broken down into the domains to teach separately.
