Laylat ul Qadr Ramadan Lesson KS2
Do you want to take a more detailed look at Ramadan with your class? Why not teach them about Laylat ul Qadr? Known as the night of power, Laylat ul Qadr takes place during the last 10 days of Ramadan. It is a night of deep worship, prayer and giving to charity.
The lesson covers what Laylat ul Qadr is and how it forms part of Ramadan, how people mark this date and why certain activities take place. The main activity is to take on the role of Aadil, who is writing an email to his boss requesting time off work to mark Laylat ul Qadr. They must use what they have learnt to persuade his boss. Links are made with persuasive techniques, so this would fit well with a persuasive writing unit in writing lessons.

Want to teach your Year 6 pupils how to avoid common errors when answering inference questions? This PowerPoint goes through three common SATS inference errors, one by one. There’s plenty of change to practise, with two texts (and sets of questions) per error.
The errors covered are:
Not using the clues (not using the evidence to help answer the inference question
Short answers (missing key parts of the answer and, thus, missing out on marks)
Dangerous general knowledge (using general knowledge in a SATS answer, rather than using the text to answer the question).
With six enjoyable texts and six sets of questions (three questions per text), there is plenty of SATS reading practice to be carried out here.
