Included are:
Full lesson plans for 15/16 lessons, with differentiated activities for children.
IWB slides for every lesson that go step by step through the lesson. (N.B. In the shared writing sessions, the example paragraphs just need playing around with to a new topic. Whilst I could have done these, it is more powerful to do them with the class at the time)
Resource sheets required for lessons.
Word banks for children to use.
A self-assessment/ teacher assessment marking sheet that helps children assess as they write and can then be used for a simple marking sheet to pick out positives and targets for children.
Five lessons that focus on being able to calculate the area of quadrilaterals and compound shapes.
Included is:
A fully-resourced double lesson that focuses on the objective of finding the area of quadrilaterals, with a particular focus on squares and rectangles.
Included in the resource is:
A double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary and areas to model and discuss as well as then having some guided practice for children to work through to check their understanding.
This is then followed up by an independent practice activity and challenge questions for those that finish. These are planned to run over the two lessons with the first lesson potentially taking more teaching time and the second lesson giving more time for practice and challenges. Answer sheets are included for both.
All attachments are uploaded as PowerPoints so they can be easily adapted, especially in adapting to any misconceptions or needs that arise from the first lesson.
Three fully-resourced lessons focusing on being able to calculate the area of compound shapes.
The lessons are split so that they act as an introductory lesson before having a double lesson that provides the opportunity to develop and become confident in finding the area of compound shapes.
The first lesson includes a lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion as well as guided practice. This is followed up with an independent activity and challenge tasks to apply what has been learnt, with answer sheets included with these.
The double lesson includes a double lesson PowerPoint that includes an arithmetic starter for each lesson, key vocabulary, modelling and discussion as well as guided practice. This is followed up with an independent activity and challenge tasks to apply what has been learnt (that stretch over both lessons with more time teaching first lesson and more time practising in the second lesson), with answer sheets included with these.

These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Answers are included for each sheet.
Two worksheets on relative clauses that get children to think more deeply about relative pronouns and clauses rather than just identifying them or creating sentences using them. A good mastery tool for those children who are working comfortably within the Year 5 and 6 curriculum.
A bank of questions from previous SATs papers including the sample tests that focus on addition and subtraction. These have all been pulled from the reasoning papers so they can be used to challenge children’s understanding or can be used as a mini-assessment of how children are with addition and subtraction.
