Children will be taught how to retrieve simple factual information from the text. They will then use the text to support their knowledge on grammatical features, such as the use of verbs and using the word endings er and est to compare toys from the past. The children will then be taught about why the glossary is important in non-fiction books. They will read simple definitions from key words within the text. Building upon this, they will begin to write their own simple definitions of topic words relating to toys. Using the knowledge learnt from this unit, children will plan out simple ideas to write their own factual text about a toy from the past. They will describe the toy’s appearance, write about how it is made and how it moves. The children’s writing can then be displayed to build up a class timeline of toys from the past, displaying factual information about each toy. Reading Objectives: Drawing on what they already know or on background information and vocabulary provided by the teacher. Discussing word meanings, linking new meanings to those already known. To understand how non-fiction books are structured. Speaking and Listening Objectives: Use relevant strategies to build their vocabulary. Give well-structured descriptions.

Thank you for looking at my resource. This resource includes a fully comprehensive PowerPoint ,worksheets/resources catering to a wide range of abilities and a preparation list. This is the third lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the past or future lessons. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however is fully editable. Children will continue to look at historical sources of evidence. In the first part they will use books to answer questions to help them develop a basic understanding of the Victorian era. The teacher will then substantiate this by providing clear answers to the research answers. Children will have links made with their background research and the focus on toys. For instance, how there were differences between rich and poor. Children will then learn about Victorian toys through an exploration of actual toys (pictures/videos may be needed if you can’t access Victorian toys),After an exploration of the toys and reflection questions children will be taught about Victorian toys. Finally, children will complete small steps which will support them to independently make simple comparisons with Victorian and modern toys. Children will complete either an independent task or an adapted helping hands task drawing comparisons with Victorian and modern toys. A chilli challenge is provided to broaden children’s learning. Challenges should be given to all. Not just your most able. They are purposely open ended. The ‘differentiation’ comes from how your most able access the task.

Students will talk about their toys. They will write down the names of the toys. They will use these toy names in sentences. They may work independently. After that, students will read the questions and answer them based.

Script includes the story of Lost in the Toy Museum by David Lucas, with my own new additions. The first part of the script is on the history of toys. This gives a background into toys from the Victorian era up until today. I have included a background ppt which has all GIFS and sound bytes ready to go. Also includes 2 songs and background music withing the ppt. We made up our actions as a class and they were great. If you want mine then please just email me. Everything is good to go. Of course you can tweak; add extra lines for additional students if needed. I have detailed the cast, props and equipment needed. This works magically if you turn off the main lighting as the story, when the toys go to sleep, and then use stage lighting during the story to give the impression that the toys are playing at night. N.B. The script references both peg dolls made in class and teddy sketches. We did this work as part of our IPC leading up to Assembly.
