A great collection for teaching this interesting topic. You get powerpoints and planning. Sample : Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophes. Use commas to mark clauses. Group and classify words according to their type and meaning. Read a variety of texts, commenting on the author’s choice of vocabulary. Construct sentences which are punctuated correctly; including the use of commas, speech marks and apostrophes. Use a range of connectives to join sentences. Experiment with complex sentences. Whole Class Shared Learning Discuss pronouns (homework) Define each type of word: Noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Build up a sentence as we go. Show the children a picture on the whiteboard of a horse galloping and of a lightning bolt. Children to write down 3 (LA) or 5(MA and HA) important nouns from the picture. Share. On the left of the noun, children to write an adjective to modify or describe the noun. Share. After the noun, children to write a verb and then an adverb to qualify the verb. e.g. The black horse galloped elegantly along the beach. Praise the children on yesterday’s literacy work – they showed knowledge of the function of nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs (HA showed knowledge of the difference between common, proper and pro nouns). Children to name a range of punctuation – I record on the board (I do not add to it at this point). Ask volunteers to illustrate uses of the punctuation named. Look on the punctuation pyramid – have we named any L5 punctuation? This is what we should be aiming at all the time. Children to have a variety of sentences to up level punctuation on their whiteboards. Come back to ‘The Mysteries of Harris Burdick’. Read through all of the captions and talk about ‘reading’ the illustration. Allow children time to talk about the ‘mystery’ – what do they think happened to Harris Burdick? Choose a picture from ‘The Mysteries…’ and list all of the questions which it provokes. What do children think of the pictures? Do the captions answer any of the questions? Talk about the settings in the pictures – often they are recognisable, familiar settings where things are not as they seem. Explain that we would call this ‘Stories in a familiar setting’. Model the task. Use PPT to study speech punctuation. Use the pictures from ‘The Mysteries…’ to write some possible dialogue. Model possible conversations, including synonyms for said and adverbs plus adverbial clauses. With correct punctuation. Look at some of the pictures from ‘The Mysteries …’ Think / discuss some of the characters in the pictures. Use adjectives to describe them – give them names. From the pictures come up with verbs to describe what they are doing then add adverbs and adverbial clauses.

couple of lesson plans and some worksheets. Sample: Share L.O and STS with the children. Introduce the cover for the new book – what do you predict will happen in the story? I predict that…….because Why do you think the book is called Tuesday? Has the time got anything to do with it? I think that it is called Tuesday because…. Give children images taken from the book – what order should they go in? encourage groups to discuss the order as a group – explain that there is no right or wrong answer because they are predicting. Invite children to share the order they chose and justify their choices. CT model writing the story using the order they have chosen and time connectives. Model THINK, SAY, WRITE, CHECK method for writing. Remind children of noun phrases to add interesting detail. Encourage MA children to use complex sentences. Resources: Tuesday images Sentence starter flash cards (differentiated) Time flash cards Images for books Share LO and STS. What do we know about the story so far? What are the main events? Children to share their work from previous lesson. Watch: How has the order changed from what you predicted? Arrange key images from the story in chronological order on the working wall. Language starters to retell the story – ‘So far I have discovered that…’ ‘First, then, after that…’ Whilst x was… y was…’What is inference? Where have you seen it before? Why is it important with this text? Establish that it has no words so we must assume what is happening to tell the story. Use the PowerPoint to tell the story as a class. Share L.O. and vocabulary – where are we on the learning journey. Ink Waster – Jotters – 2 minutes to write down everything you remember about the story. Key Questions When did it happen? Where did it happen? Did anyone see anything? Display an image – Can you explain what is happening? Partner talk using language ladder openers to support – children to share with class. Give groups of children images from the story and time connective sentence starters – children to sort the pictures into the correct sequence and use time connectives to retell. Explain written task. What is a noun phrase? What is an adverbial phrase? How would these be applied to this piece of writing? CT model writing against STS

6 weeks short term plans. sample What newspapers and magazines can the pupils name? What are the articles usually about? Discuss the purpose of a newspaper. WALT – know the features of a newspaper text. WILF – good expression Read through the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Children to discuss the features and the structure of the opening paragraph. Newspaper articles have all of the important information in the opening paragraph. The opening paragraph is not overly descriptive. This information includes who, what, when, where, why and how. (It is written this way because most people do not read an entire newspaper article all the way through. So newspaper writers put the most important information at the beginning). Children wrote learn the opening paragraph of a newspaper article. Firstly as a class, followed by group work. Recap the features of an opening paragraph of an article. SW – target group to discuss the features of the article.

100 puzzles plus answers. Great for reinforcing maths. Across-Downs is a fun activity that reinforces addition and subtraction skills. The object of the exercise set is to find the answer for each row and column, then use those answers to calculate the final answer in the lower right-hand corner of the puzzle. This set tests subtraction.

Lots of great planning. The unit covers: Start to understand the structure of the Bible. Research some different styles of writing found in the Bible. Discuss some of the important figures in the OT and understand why and how they had a special relationship with God. Analyse The story of the fall. Know the story of Cain and Abel. Relate the story to our relationships with friends and family. Know the story of Manna from Heaven. (Exodus 16: 1-18) Understand why God provided for the needs of his people. Empathise with all involved. Explain how we can show our love for God through our obedience of the ten commandments. Sample planning : Introduce the new unit to the children and explain that, through this five week unit of RE, we will be learning about some of the different styles of literature found in the Bible. We will also be learning about some significant people from the Old Testament and their relationship with God. Introduce the LO. Display the word ‘ancestors’ on the board and children to TTYP and discuss the meaning of the word. Take feedback from class. Share meaning and address any misconceptions. Children to think about stories that they know about their family and the ancestors that went before them. Talk about people who research their family tree – they are researching their ancestors. The people who came before them. Discuss the program ‘Who do you think you are?’ on BBC 1. Show the opening credits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeWuSgiqHI Discuss the title of the program. Don’t these celebrities already know who they are? They know their own names, their dates of birth, their parents’ names: what else are they looking for? Discuss how a knowledge of where we have come from, might help us to understand or plan where we need to go to. Bring this back to the Bible. The Bible is a library of books which gives us information about our ancestors – the people of God. Explain to the children that the Bible contains the story of the Jewish people in the Old Testament and is the foundation of the story of the Christian people in the New Testament. Revise work from Year 4 about the Bible being a library of books rather than just one book. (Use the ‘books of the Bible’ slide on PPT). Ch to count up how many books in the Bible – 39 in OT, 27 in NT – 66 in total

Two weeks Planning. the powerpoint is a sample. There’s other files in the planning Great powerpoint on the work of Kit Wright. The magic box really inspires kids. Sampl planning Ask children to remind you about what a simile is and discuss why it is effective to use when writing. Explain that today we will be creating some poems of our own by creating some similes. Write ‘as thin as’ on the board and ask everyone to think of very thin things. Push children to think harder past the more obvious objects. Prompt them if necessary ‘what part of an animal is very thin?’ and so on. Write other prompts such as ‘as tall as, as large as, as hot as’. Draw some circles on the board and write a prompt above them ‘The sun is like…’ See how many other things they can think of that are round like the Sun. Turn the circles into objects they suggest. Now encourage children to extend their ideas further. Explain that today children will be making some simile poems of their own about a monster. List some features of a monster and some adjectives that describe a monster. HA work alone to create a simile poem about a monster. MA supported by KB, use a writing skeleton for their poem which has some features already listed. LA supported by AS, use a writing skeleton for their poem which has the features already listed, make a list of adjectives that might describe a monster. Read through some of children’s poems together. Discuss what similes they have used and the effect it has on their writing, why is it more effective? Can children compare objects? Can they use adjectives? Can they extend their own ideas and thinking? Can they choose effective similes?

100 worksheets. 100 answer sheets. At least 10 questions per sheet. Pupils have to enter the next two numbers in the sequence. They get harder so that later sheets include decimals and 20 questions per sheet.

Nice planning : sample : Read 3/4 Pie Corbett poems (see list below this plan or plan resources) – NOT Wings. Discuss the poems read eg which one did you like best and why? Is anything similar about the poems? Focus their attention onto things that are typical of Pie Corbett. Use 3 headings: Subject matter/Style of poem/Language. Discuss each of these (subject matter is what the poem is about eg nature, travelling, observations etc). Style is free verse or strict rhythm/regular or irregular rhyming patterns, use of speech or dialogue etc. Language refers to the vocabulary – the use of adjectives and descriptions, metaphors or similes eg ”I heard the paving slabs groan as they muscled for space.” (See plan resources.) Start looking at poems of Pie Corbett under these 3 headings. Give chn time to talk in pairs/small groups about each heading and take feedback. Ask chn to come up and scribe some ideas under each heading. Explain that we will now be exploring some of these headings in more detail. Easy Give chn a selection of Pie Corbett poems. Model reading a couple to the chn. Discuss what was similar or different in terms of the subject matter. Chn to then read some more poems in pairs and start to sort them into groups that are similar and why. Stick the similar poems onto A3 paper and make rough jottings about why they are similar. TD Medium/Hard Work in pairs or 3s. Take turns to pick a Pie Corbett poem and read it out loud to rest of group. Repeat this until lots of poems have been read. Provide highlighting pens & poetry checklist (plan resources) to guide their discussion. Ask chn to go back over each poem carefully & highlight any language that makes the poem interesting eg adjectives & descriptions. Give chn the metaphor & simile example sheet (plan resources) to refer to and see if they can highlight any of these in another colour. Make sure chn annotate their highlighting with their own comments. Is there anything linking these Pie Corbett poems together? Does he repeat any language techniques? Finally they look at the style of the poems. Is there a regular rhythm in the poems? Do they use speech?

Planning to teach Shakespeare’s play. Great powerpoints. Sample planning : Begin by introducing the new topic and the learning outcome. We will be studying ‘older’ literature. Explain that older literature is defined as anything written before 1914 but we are going to look at much older than this! Show a picture of William Shakespeare: children to TTYP – Who is this man? What is he famous for? Can you name any of his works? Come back together and elicit that William Shakespeare was an author – not of stories but of plays and sonnets (poems). Talk about some of his more famous work and explain that he wrote 38 plays and over 160 sonnets. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613 – why do you think he wrote mostly plays rather than stories? Elicit that he was an actor so he loved the stage and he intended his works to be acted out rather than just read and also because of the times. TV and film were not entertainment options and the majority of people couldn’t read so going to the theatre or watching an outside performance was very popular. List the main characters on the board, to include: The Capulets Juliet Lady Capulet (Juliet’s mother) Lord Capulet (Juliet’s father and head of the family) Tybalt (Juliet’s cousin and enemy of Romeo) Nurse (Juliet’s nanny) Paris (wants to marry Juliet) The Montagues Romeo

Planning for this interesting book. sample Show chn the front cover of The Hodgeheg and say that we will be working on this book. Read blurb on back then ask chn what type of story they think this is? Establish that it is a Quest or Adventure story with a problem, journey and resolution. Ask chn what else the blurb tells us and note their ideas for Working Display notes. (E.g. the main character is Max who is a hedgehog, he has a family and he wants to cross the road…). Explain that today we are going to be Sentence Detectives as we read the story. We are looking for sentences which have adverbs in them. Revise the fact that an adverb modifies a verb, telling us how something was done: She went happily to see her granny. Develop this to talk about fronted adverbials, phrases at the start of a sentence which act like an adverb, telling us how, where or when something is done or happened, e.g. In total silence, the girls tiptoed along the corridor. Comprehension 1/ Grammar 1 Display extract from Hodgeheg (see resources). Read it out loud together. Briefly revise the rules for writing dialogue: (1) Speech marks around direct speech; (2) new speaker = new line; (3) Punctuation (question marks, exclamation marks, commas, full stops) that goes within the speech marks. Point out that if the dialogue finishes but it’s not the end of a sentence, then a comma goes at the end of the dialogue within the speech marks. See resources for marked up example. Then make-up physical signs for each type of punctuation, e.g. speech marks = hands held up, 2 fingers on each hand bent; comma = one finger drawing it in the air; full stop = pointing gesture, etc. Draw a map of the passage together, (look at the example map resource to guide you). Ask chn for suggestions for each element. Spoken language 1

Couple of weeks planning. sample; Genre: Narrative Unit 4 ‘Older Literature’ Focus Texts: ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare. (Adapted for children by Andrew Matthews and Tony Ross – Orchard classics). Begin by introducing the new topic and the learning outcome. We will be studying ‘older’ literature. Explain that older literature is defined as anything written before 1914 but we are going to look at much older than this! Show a picture of William Shakespeare: children to TTYP – Who is this man? What is he famous for? Can you name any of his works? Come back together and elicit that William Shakespeare was an author – not of stories but of plays and sonnets (poems). Talk about some of his more famous work and explain that he wrote 38 plays and over 160 sonnets. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and died in 1616. He produced most of his work between 1589 and 1613 – why do you think he wrote mostly plays rather than stories? Elicit that he was an actor so he loved the stage and he intended his works to be acted out rather than just read and also because of the times. TV and film were not entertainment options and the majority of people couldn’t read so going to the theatre or watching an outside performance was very popular. Explain that Shakespeare’s plays can be broadly split into tragedies and comedies. TTYP – what does this mean? Show a list including some of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies and tragedies. Talk about our recent history topic – who would have been on the throne when Shakespeare was writing (Elizabeth I until 1603 and then James I start of the Stuart dynasty). Talk briefly about the context to Shakespeare’s plays – Elizabeth I ruled over a very successful empire, England was starting to explore and find new shores and arts & culture were becoming more important and sought after. Link to previous unit. Children to take a whole page in their literacy books to design an advert/poster to be put up around a Tudor town. It should advertise an exciting new play by William Shakespeare (give children a few to choose from). Talk about the different language used for a comedy or a tragedy. CN with target group. CS with JD group. Start to read the children’s adapted version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’. Success Criteria: I recognise William Shakespeare and I know what he did for a living. I can start to understand what England was like when Shakespeare was writing.

100 worksheets with answers. Mixed fractions. Some you have to multiply, some you have to divide etc. A good time filler or revision homework.

Great planning and powerpoints on this fascinating topic. sample : Speaking • Tell a story using notes designed to cue techniques such as repetition, recap and humour Drama • Reflect on how working in role helps to explore complex issues Understanding and interpreting texts • Infer writers’ perspectives from what is written and from what is implied • Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured Creating and shaping texts • Reflect independently and critically on their own writing and edit and improve it • Experiment with different narrative forms and styles to write their own stories Sentence structure and punctuation • Adapt sentence construction to different text-types, purposes and readers • Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophes Understand, analyse and compare several ‘visual texts’. Comment on the technical parts of a visual text. Write a review using correct format and language. Whole Class Shared Learning Guided and Independent Activities: Start to understand what is meant by a ‘visual text’. What do we know so far about narrative writing? Create a list of facts to add to working wall including: fictional, dialogue, opening etc. Explain to the children briefly, that they are going to watch a short, animated film, entitled ‘The Piano.’ Explain also that there is no dialogue or narration; it will be up to the children to decide what the film is about, to answer simple questions, raise some of their own and provide their own explanations for what they see. Tell the children that they’re going to watch the film, quietly and without comment at first. Then, watch ‘The Piano’ by Aidan Gibbons. Model completing thinking feeling and speech shapes linked to the narrative.

nice easy lesson. sample: TTYP – why do authors use descriptive vocabulary? Take feedback and jot down ideas for the working wall – elicit the idea that, as a writer, it is our job to create an image in the reader’s mind. Show the part of ‘Matilda’ where the main character approaches Crunchem Hall for the first time. 22 min 30 to 24 min 30. Take part in ‘Book Talk’ on this visual text: How did we feel about Matilda when we watched her walk into the school under the arch? How did we feel about the school buildings and environment? What impressions have we made about Miss Trunchbull? How were we made to feel like that? How did the director manipulate our emotions? Show the ‘Likes, dislikes, patterns and puzzles’ board and explain the task . Task 1 11am-11.10am Engaging with the visual text. A – Australia group (Level 3a/4c): Children to fill in an individual ‘like/dislikes’ board. Children to focus particularly on the ‘patterns and puzzles’ sections. Working independently. Extension task – children to annotate a still from the film with adjectives to describe the setting. BA – Brazil group (Level 3b/c): Miss Greenwood to support and extend. Children to fill in an individual ‘like/dislikes’ board. SEN/BA – Mexico group (Level 2): Working with Miss Noble on a guided like/dislikes board. Extending children to talking about the atmosphere. Main Teaching 2 10 minutes (11.10am – 11.20am) Share some ideas from the task and explain that now we are fully immersed in the text, we are going to start to transfer the clip into a written text. TTYP – what does ‘atmosphere’ mean? Talk and agree that it means: a feeling or mood created by a particular place. I am going to attempt to describe the setting AND the atmosphere to the reader. I am going to write in third person and past tense. Elicit the use of the senses for a setting description. Model write with reference to s/c and sentence trick cards.

A great unit on healthy eating. Lovely series of 5 powerpoints plus bits and bobs. sample planning : Keeping healthy In this unit we will learn: · there are many aspects to keeping healthy · about the heart · how heartbeat is affected by exercise · how early ideas about diet & health were tested Enquiry Skill Focus: · repeating measurements · representing data in bar charts and graphs and interpreting these · using results to draw conclusions Begin by discussing ‘science’ with the class. What do they think of the subject? Can they name any important scientific skills? Introduce topic and ask children what they think the word ‘health’ means. Talk with talk partners. Children to find definition in dictionary and write class definition on strips of paper for display wall. Lead into a class discussion on keeping healthy; can the children predict what sorts of topics we might we might be covering? Can the HA children predict what SC1 investigations we might be carrying out? Introduce children to the resources which will be available to help them during this topic; the working wall plus table mats. Explain that each science topic will have a topic page and a glossary. This glossary gives the definitions of important vocabulary which they will come across during the unit. Activity One Children to feed back and complete class prior knowledge map. (Even if facts are not correct, add them on and clear up misconceptions throughout unit.) Children could add to their own map in a different colour any facts they have not got, which their peers suggest.

For all years 1 to 4 complete planning all terms. Easily adaptable up or down, so will save you hours. Catholic in flavour but other religions included. Contains powerpoints, planning, worksheets, info etc. Why not look at the bundles. Incredible value and it’ll save your precious Sundays. Ideal if you have been chosen to deliver R.E. N.B. You will need to spend some time organising as I am retired. Also not a great deal of year 2 stuff. If you want superorganised stuff, please look at my RE powerpoint stuff, sample planning : Learning and growing as the People of God: Short-term Planning Unit I – Easter Most children will know that the four Gospels contain accounts of the Resurrection of Christ. They will be able to understand the transforming effect this had upon the disciples. The children will know that the Ascension reminds Christians of the promise of Christ to remain always with them. Less able children will be able to recall parts of the Resurrection story from some of the Gospels. More able children will have a greater understanding of the importance of the Resurrection for Christians today and of their belief in the presence of Christ in the Church and in their lives. Start date: Finish Date Additional details including groupings, differentiation Vocabulary and Key Questions Resources Prayer Revise with children previous learning about the Church’s celebration of Easter. Recall that it is a season of fifty days and revise some of the colours and symbols of the season that are used in the Church’s liturgy. Activity: In groups - give children the colours and the symbols to match. White Easter light innocence purity joy triumph glory Red Feasts of the Lord’s Passion, Blood and Cross the Passion blood fire God’s Love martyrdom Palm Sunday Purple Good Friday penance humility melancholy Gold Easter joy Children to read one of the four Gospel accounts of the Resurrection: Matthew 28: 1-15, Mark 16: 1-17, Luke 24: 1-43, John 20: 1-21 Group Activity: Must - Highlight the words and actions of the disciples and the women and the words and actions of Jesus. Should/Could -Create a resurrection appearance table. Include in the headings: What the disciples were doing, what they saw, and what Jesus said and did. (Use the above Gospel accounts to fill in the table). Plenary: Children to imagine that they are about to meet somebody who had never heard of Jesus before. What would they tell this person about the resurrection? What would be the most important information that they would need to pass on? What were the words and actions of ____ at the resurrection of Christ? Markers Remind the children that prayer time is an important opportunity for us to recognise the presence of Jesus in our lives. Provide moments for silent prayer. Use music and appropriate Easter focus, Use the Resurrection and Ascension stories during Collective Worship. Other links/Homework

Great planning for year 5. Plenty to keep you going for three solid weeks. Powerpoints, planning, worksheets etc etc The zip has the lot. I have put up some on the ordinary download so you can look. Sample planning : Genre: Narrative Unit 3 – ‘Stories from other cultures’ Focus Texts: ‘Abela’ by Berlie Doherty (class reader), ‘The day of Ahmed’s secret’ by Florence Parry Heide, ‘Stories from around the world’ Usborne books. Objectives Primary Framework Phase 1 • Create roles showing how behaviour can be interpreted from different viewpoints • Know and apply common spelling rules • Infer writers’ perspectives from what is written and from what is implied • Compare different types of narrative and information texts and identify how they are structured • Experiment with different narrative form and styles to write their own stories Adapt sentence construction to different text-types, purposes and readers Punctuate sentences accurately, including using speech marks and apostrophes. Learning/Writing outcome for unit: Write a story from a different character’s point of view. Reflect on writing critically and edit it against success criteria. LO: Whole Class Shared Learning Guided and Independent Activities: Plenary: M Understand and use the word ‘culture’. Begin to recognise the features of a story from another culture. Show the words ‘narrative’ and ‘fiction’. Children to TTYP and talk about what they mean. Come back together and elicit that they are words for ‘story’. We are going to be studying a narrative unit for two weeks. Briefly recap the five structural features of a story. What types of stories have we studied so far? (Myths, legends and stories by a significant author). Show the word ‘culture’. Children to TTYP and discuss. Come back together and explain that a culture refers to “the attitudes and behaviour that are characteristic of a particular social group.” Emphasise that we are not necessarily talking about different religions or even other countries – there are a lot of different cultures even within one country. Lead to class discussion. Provide children with copies of ‘The Day of Ahmed’s Secret’ – explain that this story is from Africa. Ahmed lives in a city called Cairo – the capital of Egypt. Show on a map. Have we heard anything about Cairo in the news recently? Read half of the story and then challenge children to discuss on their tables: The features of the story. Their predictions about Ahmed’s secret. Come back together, read the rest of the story and discuss. How is Ahmed’s life different from your lives? In his culture it is perfectly normal for children to be working very hard and taking over the family business from his Father. What does his pride at being able to write his own name suggest about his level of education? About his place in society? Create a working wall list of features to include: Capital letters used at the start of each sentence and full stops at the end.
