This is a 3 week teaching unit using the book ‘Call Me Lion’ by Camilla Chester as a writing stimulus. Outcome: Write an informal letter in role as Leo, who has selective mutisim, using emotive vocabulary. Our half termly theme was based on the SDG ‘reduced inequalities’ and this unit fitted in perfectly by celebrating inclusion, friendship and empathy. Alongside this, we looked at the biography by Stevie Wonder (uploaded in another resource). This really helped the children develop empathy and compassion for others. This teaching sequence follows the T4W scheme - Imitate (WK1) where children immerse themselves in the genre. Innovate (WK2) shared write looking at a high-quality example by tweaking the WAGOLL. Independent (WK3) the children apply all the skills they have learnt. A wonderful teaching unit, which my children thoroughly enjoyed and it produced some high-quality writing. It is a great book that can promote the themes of morality.

High-quality resources focused on the theme of ‘One World’ and ‘Equality’. We taught this along side our sound unit as we focused on the biography of Stevie Wonder and Evelyn Glennie.

The adventure begins with a magical twist from ‘Wizard Wizalot’, who can make water disappear! Students are hooked from the start as they embark on a journey to create their own experiment, using prompted pictures for support, to observe and investigate evaporation rates over time. After setting up the experiment, students will use their critical thinking and communication skills as they work together in groups to solve concept cartoons. And to add a sprinkle of fun, friendly characters from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ make an appearance, making this lesson a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
