KS1 Planning and Resources Unit of Work based around the picture book ‘Traction Man Is Here’ by Mini Grey. 10 Lessons fully planned with objectives linked to the KS1 National Curriculum for Reading, S & L, Grammar and Composition. Lessons and worksheets included. Final writing piece: Adventure Story Writing.
Unit Overview:
In this unit, the class will be greeted with a toy ‘Traction Man Figure’. The class will be presented with the story book ‘Traction Man Is Here!’ by Mini Grey. During shared reading lessons, children will be taught effective reading strategies, beginning with making simple verbal predictions. As they are reading, they will be encouraged to identify unfamiliar vocabulary and make use of word webs to clarify meaning. Using hot-seating, children will begin to ask questions about the characters feelings and then go on to answer inference questions by gathering clues from the text. The children will then notice how the author has used grammar and punctuation effectively to add elements of suspense, action and sound. They will recognise and use onomatopoeia within their own written work, along with exclamation marks. The children will then unpick elements of the text that uses expanded noun phrases to describe Traction Man’s outfits. These noun phrases will then be organised into lists using commas to separate each item. Guided writing lessons will be focused on planning a new adventure story that continues for Traction Man. Children will use their own planning document and draft their own writing using a checklist generated by the children in class.

Through shared reading lessons they will begin to make predictions based on what they have read. As they continue to read, children will be taught how to summarise the text, ask questions, clarify new word meanings and retrieve and record information from the text. They will learn how ‘a’ and ‘an’ are used before words and they will deepen their understanding of subordinating conjunctions. The children will then explore non-fiction books and recognise the features of non-fiction books. They will read a non-chronological report about ‘Stone Age Life’ and identify the main features of this report. The children will then be taught how to plan and write their own non-chronological report linked to ‘Stone Age Life’ using many of the new facts they discovered in ‘The Stone Age Boy’ text. The reports will be collated to create a whole class non-fiction book about ‘The Stone Age’.

Based around the book ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr, this 10 lesson English Unit of Work covers Year 1 National Curriculum Objectives for  Reading, Grammar and Spelling and Writing Composition. The unit includes editable planning documents, worksheets, writing frames and much more. End of unit Writing: Story Writing (writing a story about a different zoo animal that comes for tea).
Unit overview:
In this unit, children will be ‘hooked’ into the story with a class tea party, with a special visit from a tiger. The class will then be introduced to the book ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. Shared reading lessons will support to develop key reading strategies. They will begin to link events from the story to their own personal experiences. They will also begin to make inferences based on the character’s feelings from the story. Once the children are familiar with the story, they will use picture cards to sequence the story in the correct order. Following this, the class will focus on words within the text that have contractions. Recognising and reading these words, learning about the omission of letters and the apostrophe to contract the words. Adjectives used for description will then be explored within the text. Children will select their own ‘zoo’ animal to describe using adjectives. Shared and guided writing lessons will then encourage children to use a story map to plan out their ideas for their own story about a zoo animal visiting for tea. Children will use a step-by-step approach to compose sentences orally before writing them. Final writing piece: story about a different zoo animal coming to tea.
Reading Objectives:
Becoming very familiar with key stories, retelling them and considering their particular characteristics.
Making inferences on the basis of what is being said and done.
Being encouraged to link what they read or hear read to their own experiences.
Read words with contractions [for example, I’m, I’ll, we’ll], and understand that the apostrophe represents the omitted letter(s).
Grammar Objectives:
To recognise and use adjectives to describe.
Introduction to capital letters, full stops to demarcate sentences.
Separation of words with spaces.
**Writing Objectives:
**
Saying out loud what they are going to write about.
Composing a sentence orally before writing it.

Unit overview:
In this unit, children will explore the features of the non-fiction text ‘Toys and Games’ by Sally Hewitt. They will be ‘hooked’ into the unit by describing a set of hidden mystery toys from the past. They will then try to solve a selection of riddles that describe toys from the past. Children will be taught how to retrieve simple factual information from the text. They will then use the text to support their knowledge on grammatical features, such as the use of verbs and using the word endings er and est to compare toys from the past. The children will then be taught about why the glossary is important in non-fiction books. They will read simple definitions from key words within the text. Building upon this, they will begin to write their own simple definitions of topic words relating to toys. Using the knowledge learnt from this unit, children will plan out simple ideas to write their own factual text about a toy from the past. They will describe the toy’s appearance, write about how it is made and how it moves. The children’s writing can then be displayed to build up a class timeline of toys from the past, displaying factual information about each toy.
