Resource showing and explaining the journey of a river from source to mouth and the physical features of rivers along the way.
I created this to use with my year 5 class but it would be suitable for year 6 as well.
There are hyperlinks to videos on BBC learning zone and to a BBC bitesize activity - some of the questions in the activity are more complex as it is aimed at KS3 but I do not think this would be an issue as it is reinforcing what is learnt through the PowerPoint and extending the children further.
PPT that follows the sentence stacking sequence for 'The Write Stuff’s year 3 unit. I have put the powerpoint together with a mixed year 3/4 class in mind. I have also included a boxing up grid which I used to aid their planning process for the independent write, and an additional powerpoint for two additional lessons to help develop the ending of the story. We talked a lot about the effect on the reader.
Top tips from my teaching experience of this unit:
I began with a lesson looking at different openings using a variety of picture books, we talked about how the openings worked to draw the reader in and used what we knew from the book Journey to write an effective opening.
I taught a lesson before the start of the sequence giving them the picture of the girl talking to family members and they wrote/drew speech bubbles for the scenes which we then used for SS1 and talked about using different verbs for ‘said’ - this gave them a clearer idea of where the inverted commas needed to go.
All pictures included in the powerpoint come from the original text ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker
Complete PPT for R C Sherriff’s Journey’s End. Designed for KS3 (Y8/9) students.
Works through the whole play with all worksheets included on the slides.
Character development using the framework of the Hero’s Journey – another tool that allows students to compile their knowledge and understanding of what makes our stalwart protagonist tick! This unique set of worksheets ask questions that seek to deeply analyze an existing character, or feed the roots of a new hero designed by your student!
Contents
4 unique pages of questions, focusing on character development and linked to the Hero’s Journey

Full KS3 lesson on the journey of a river from source to mouth - cross profile. Lesson includes starter, learning objectives and plenary and will last around one hour of teaching time. All supporting worksheets included - no further resources required.
This document is designed to be for students to use to track how they feel over the duration of a project and to reflect upon at the end.
This tracker has space for the teacher to write what the project, out comes and key skills are.
This is a five week tracker but can easily be altered to make longer.
The purpose of this document is to enable a student to develop their understanding of the correlation between how confident they feel in a project and their attainment, which in turn will support the teacher in supporting the students development to the best of their ability. For more nervous students this is also an opportunity to document how they feel in a non intrusive way. I have used this across Key stage 3 and 4 and it has worked wonderfully.
For trainee teachers ... I have designed and used this for my own PGCE in Art and Design for part of an assignment where we had to design a resource. This has also been used in two different schools with success in meeting standards and demonstrating progress. A good attribute for evidence folders and proof of reflective teaching,
I have created this worksheet to accompany the PowerPoint I created of the same name.
Created to be used with my year 5 class, though suitable for other KS2 classes.
Children have to label the physical features of a river from source to mouth.
