This is a unit of 15 lesson on PowerPoint slides, which can be condensed or extended depending on the confidence of the class, that is based on the amazing book ‘Suffragettes: The Battle for Equality’ by David Roberts. My year 6 class absolutely loved learning about the Suffragettes -especially as extreme activism has been in the news so much recently! You will need to buy a copy of the book. The unit consists of two ‘big writes’. A formal letter to a Prime Minister and a short story/recount about the day that the Suffragettes interrupted a parliamentary meeting. The lessons that lead up to the ‘big writes’ all teach the class the necessary grammatical elements and writing features that they can include in their writing. Each lesson has a grammar starter and grammar embedded into it for SATs revision. Many of the lessons have differentiation for your lower attaining writers and suggestions for how to challenge your more confident writers. I have included reading comprehensions which can be completed in your Reading lessons or for homework if you don’t have time to get through all the reading in class. This unit can be continued after with a biography about Emmeline Pankhurst or Millicent Fawcett.

This is a writing sequence that I did in the Autumn Term (7-8 weeks) with my year 6 class. The slides include lots of printable worksheets, grammar starters, word banks and sentence starters for your Lower Attaining children. The sequence includes: -poetry writing -diary entry -role play/drama lesson -letter writing -a lesson on fronted adverbials -lessons on setting description -a lesson on direct speech -planning lessons for the Big Write -Shared Writing lessons I taught this sequence in conjunction with the YouTube video of the book and 16 copies of the physical book. I would definitely give your class some background knowledge on refugees and why people are sometimes forced to leave their home country.

This is a PowerPoint presentation of a sequence of 12 lessons which I taught to my year 4 class, in the Autumn Term, on place value. Each lesson has a starter, practice questions (for class to do on whiteboards), printable worksheets, challenge questions and answers to display on board so children can mark their own work. Lessons 1, 11 and 12 doesn’t have answers because the worksheet is too big to display on interactive whiteboard. Lesson 1: Place value of 4-digit number Lesson 2: Partitioning 4-digit numbers Lesson 3: Adding 10, 100 and 1000 Lesson 4: Read and write numbers to 10,000 Lesson 5: Read and write numbers to 10,000 (with progression) Lesson 6: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100 Lesson 7: Rounding numbers to 10 or 100 Lesson 8: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 9: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 10: Comparing and ordering numbers Lesson 11: Negative numbers Lesson 12: Negative numbers (with progression) I have three lessons on comparing numbers because my class were not so confident with this.
