Teaching Alive is a project that provides on-line teaching resources to promote creativity and improve children’s achievement in primary school. We provide lessons consisting of:
• animations to make contexts and teaching come alive;
• detailed teaching plans, disseminating effective teaching methods; and
• presentations, teaching support materials and differentiated activities.
We use themes that are based on children’s interests and that integrate preparation for national assessment.

This is a dance lesson in a unit based on travelling to Mars. It is based around Yuri Gagarin and we will be planning and performing part 2 of a dance unison routine
This lesson runs alongside a Maths unit where children create their own diary on Mars to document mathematical findings and a Literacy unit where they write their own non-chronological report on Mars.
This unit is aimed at children at an age 9-11 level (Year 5 & 6 in England and Wales).
The unit’s context revolves around a mission to Mars. Pre-lesson preparation is provided with three animations from an astronaut’s first-person point of view as he or she travels and lands on Mars, making the lesson come alive.
PowerPoints provide structure, modelling, examples and explanation.
There is a lesson plan which includes:
suggested links to curriculums;
notes to provide background information;
optional pre lesson preparation;
starter, main, groups and plenary sections with suggested timings (please change depending on your class);
sections of the lesson are linked to Blooms taxonomy;
Talk time suggestions;
PowerPoint presentations to support teaching;
differentiated group activities with extra ideas for early finishers;
consideration of, and reference to, different learning styles;
pictures and actions provided for key terms; and
independent activities that are planned to aim to allow the teacher to support or extend an assessment group within the lesson
Plans and PowerPoints are detailed and thorough to provide teaching structure, if needed, for the whole, or parts, of the lesson. An alternative streamlined PowerPoint is also provided.

This is the handwriting introduction (30 minutes) to a round robin rotation of activities in future sessions. We concentrate on the top e letter join using a theme park analogy for formation and join. The session is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales).
It is a session in a unit based around a mission to Mars with Literacy, Maths and other Curriculum lessons planned. In our Maths unit learners create their own diary on Mars to document mathematical findings and in our Literacy unit learners write their own non-chronological report on Mars. Short animations from an astronaut’s first-person point of view as he or she travels and lands on Mars are included in these units, making lessons come alive
A PowerPoint is provided in this session with animated handwriting. We model letters and joins with learners joining in before an opportunity for independent practise. Different sizes of lines (with and without tracing) are provided using a sea, grass, clouds, sun analogy to support sizing.
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;

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.

This is a lesson in a unit based on a non-chronological report on Mars. In this lesson we look at constructing simple, compound and complex sentences to describe a space journey. Activities are differentiated to use prompts to write simple sentences or effective compound/complex sentences to reflect a storyboard. Fast finishers can create their own storyboard using their sentences.
The lesson is aimed at children at an age 10-11 level (Year 6 in England and Wales).
The lesson’s context revolves around the discovery of a new planet and an alien battle on the way home from Mars. It focuses on the need to write detailed and descriptive sentences to report on findings. Three short animations (from an astronaut’s first-person point of view) provide pre-lesson preparation (if required) to lift off in a space shuttle, discover a new planet and witness an alien battle.
