This 3 week unit of work was planned for Year 3 during the final summer term. It would also be suitable for Year 4. The aim of the unit is for the children to write their own exit chapter to add to Roald Dahl’s story. The unit begins by looking at the language Roald Dahl uses when creating his characters which leads onto the children creating their own character and inventing room. There is a focus of editing and improving a piece of writing, as well as a lesson on punctuating speech to ensure the children are secure in the rules before writing their own narrative. A story mountain is used to plan their own story and a lesson each day writing a different part (introduction, build-up, problem, resolution and ending).

This was written for an SEN group of year 9s but could also be used for KS3. This is the first resource I have shared and I would welcome feedback :-) It starts off with conservation of mass and goes on to balancing equations. It is very basic but quite fun so bits could be used as starters or plenaries. I gave students chocolate and smarties to arrange but that is not essential.
