This is not an exact copy of the planning from The Power of Reading. It is inspired by the planning - taking some lessons and elements and combining it with my school’s approach to writing. Minimum of 14 lessons but another edit and improve session and publishing sessions can be added onto the end making this 16 potential sessions. Aimed at LKS2, Year 3 and year 4. Key skills taught in this unit: Exploration and teaching of rich vocabulary around water portraying a character’s emotion through verbs and adverbs Inference skills Present perfect tense/ past tense Inverted commas for speech This unit of work involves: Short bursts of writing involving of personal experiences around water which could be a diary entry but gives freedom of choice, poetry, asking key questions. It also involves building up skills for children to write about an event that happens in the forest to the main character where he sees something scary in the bushes, runs away and then realises it was only a small animal such as a bunny or an owl. This gives the children opportunity to show, not tell emotions of fear, nervousness and relief. The next part of the unit of work allows the main character to return home where Isac sees his Mum. This involves a conversation, applying their inverted commas skills. Here he can tell his Mum what happened in the forest and why he was so scared but then felt relieved because it was only an animal. Planning documents attached. Key worksheets attached and differentiated activities attached. Each lesson begins with a grammar warm up.

This is a unit of work I have planned, resourced and used from the Understanding Christianity scheme of work. This is ‘Gospel’ and it is aimed at Years 3 and 4. This is a Powerpoint download of the following lessons: Lesson 1: Engage with the idea of Gospel through parables A focus on understanding what a parable is and this looks at The Thankful Leper and The Good Samaritan. This has a fill in the gaps task about The Good Samaritan. Lesson 2: Enquire into the idea of Gospel This focuses on understanding why Jesus told the story of The Good Samaritan and what it means to Christians to be a good samaritan. This has a diary entry writing task about The Good Samaritan. Lesson 3: Explore ways in which Christians practice Gospel This focuses on what Christians might do to be a good samaritan and live life how God and Jesus wanted. This looks directly into the charity Christian Aid and what some Christians dedicate their life to. This contains a drawing task. Lesson 4: Evaluate how Christians can share God’s message This lesson focuses on rich discussion and writing to answer questions about what kind of world God wants and what kind of world the children want and why. This then goes into an art focus of creating a piece of artwork to encourage others to be kind. The last slide of this Powerpoint contains ways in which children can express their learning about kindness by suggesting activities they can do to show kindness.

This lesson explicitly addresses racism that may have been happening in your school or class. The learning objective is to understand what racism is. The first slides focuses on what racism is and has a link to a child friendly youtube video to answer this question. The next few slides focus on identity and how someone’s identity is who they are and many of these qualities you cannot change ie. skin colour, sexual orientation, likes, dislikes etc. One of the slides addresses the fact that just because someone has a different preference or quality to you doesn’t mean it effects you personally. We are all different but that does not matter - we all have the same community and need to work together. There is another link to a Youtube story ‘a kids book about racism’ by Jelani Memory. We then look at WHY someone might grow up with racist views ie. parents, closed-minded etc. We then discuss how you can be racist without realising ie. saying certain words or stereotyping. We then look at quotes and we address why those comments are racist. The next few slides show motivational posters to stop racism which are a discussion point. I have attached Twinkl’s racism scenario cards which is what my class responded to in their books. #racism #anti-racism #racist #anti-racist #pshe #inclusivity #equality #diversity#equalityanddiversity

Here are Powerpoint slides of four lessons based on the planning from Understanding Christianity. This is aimed at Years 3 and 4. In this unit there is a variety of activities such as creative art activities as well as a writing task. This is ready to download and teach. The learning objectives for each lesson are as follows: Lesson 1: Engage in the story of Creation and Fall Children listen to the story of Creation and go on a mindful walk around the school grounds to look at any nature they can see and appreciate that Christians believe this was created by God. They return and explore the concept of temptation first-hand and then explore the panel images that represent creation and fall from the Understanding Christianity unit. Lesson 2: Enquire into Christian belief that humans cannot get close to God without his help Here children will explore the feelings of Adam, Eve and God when Eve betrayed them. The outcome of this lesson is a diary entry of Eve exploring how she feels. Children will understand the importance of saying sorry and taking responsibility for their actions. Lesson 3: Explore that the bible shows God wants to help people by giving guidelines Children will explore the ten commandments and watch videos of two different types of churches that serve God in different ways. Their task is to create a piece of art based on one of or all of the ten commandments. Examples are included. Lesson 4: Evaluate and express our learning about creation and fall This lesson will consist of children ordering the story of creation as a reminder, completing a quiz either individually or in teams about the creation story. There is then a selection of activities to choose from in two sections: writing or drawing. Included: The Powerpoint with all of the links required inside The quiz for lesson 4 #understandingchristianity #RE #christian #creation #thefall #adamandeve #unit #religion #religiouseducation #God #Bible
