This is the independent handwriting session (30 minutes) in a round robin rotation of activities. We concentrate on the top “r” to “e” letter join using a theme park analogy.

A PowerPoint is provided with animated handwriting. Letters and joins are modelled, relating to theme park rides with patter. We model by playing animations and referencing the different lines for size- the sea, the grass, the clouds, the sun. Learners join in, and then transfer their formation and joins to sentences, writing with the animation or in own time. Different sizes of lines (with and without tracing) are provided for differentiation.

The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales). It is the seventh session in a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned.

There is a lesson plan which includes:

• suggested links to curriculums;
• notes to provide lesson support;
• main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
• sections of the lesson linked to Blooms taxonomy;
• PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
• differentiated group activities;
• consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles; and
• independent activities that are planned to aim to allow the teacher to support or extend an assessment group within the lesson.

The plan and PowerPoints are detailed and thorough to provide teaching structure, if needed, for the whole, or parts, of the session.

Thankyou,
