This is a zip file containing Literacy planning for a year 5 class (Autumn term) It consists of 14 short term plans I designed. There is one Literacy lesson per day. You will get 14 Microsoft Word documents. They are based on the Greek myths. I’ve also included for free some extra teaching materials that you can use. I’ve included too 3 medium term plans , one for each term). These cover plans and ideas not just for Literacy, but other subjects as well. I’ve also included an extra week from the next term. Feel free to use it to plug any gaps. This will help you do your own planning. Feel free to cut and paste into your own school’s plans. Ideal for someone who had to do a term’s supply like I had to do. Please bear in mind: every school is different. My plans assume you have the aide of a TA, but this is not essential. There is no differentiation in the planning. Everyone does the same thing to the best of their ability. you may want to add your own detail. These are short term plans remember. I have used walts and wilts. Your school may do something different. A very few number of weeks have a small gaps for things like tests and inset days. Use the extra week one planning for the next term (included for free) if you wish.

Some terrific planning. The last I did before retirement. It covers the whole of the Autumn term for year 5. It concentrates on Maths and English. But loads extra on the arts and humanities and pe. Sample planning To apply understanding of the structure of a Greek Myth to identify separate parts of a myth I can order key events in a quest I can identify how the events in a quest are separated by the writer, referring to the structure/content of the text I can identify key language features of Greek Myth Texts Starter Read “The 12 Labours of Heracles” to the children (58-66, The Orchard Book of Greek Myths). Recap features of quest – ask chn to identify these • A quest is a journey towards a goal, which usually requires great effort by the hero/heroine. • They need to overcome many obstacles, and it usually involves a lot of travel. • The hero normally tries to obtain something or someone through the quest, and then take this home. The object can be something new (golden fleece), something to fulfill a lack in their life, or to return something that was stolen from the hero or from someone with the power to send them on the quest. • If someone dispatches the hero on a quest, the reason may be false -Hero sent on a difficult quest in hope that they die, or in order to remove them from the scene for a time. • Tale usually ends with the dispatcher being unmasked and punished. • There may be a twist at the end of the tale, to punish any misdeeds of the hero/heroine, or because one of the Gods is displeased by the successful conclusion of the quest. MAIN ACTIVITY (Resources; boxed table) Split chn into groups and give them a Greek Myth text.
