A whole unit of work based on the Fantastic Beasts by J.K. Rowling. The children will design a set of instructions on how to look after a beast of their imagination. The children I have taught at my school SJA have been really engaged in the learning which lasts approximately 2 weeks (10 teaching sessions). All objectives come from the Year 3 English National Curriculum. Resource includes: Lessson PowerPoint with learning objectives, Grammar Geek (How to use this is below), lesson activities and planning. Some resources are editable to suit your class. How to use Grammar Geek: Introduce the session slide, read out each objective. The colours focus on different parts of grammar: vocabulary, structure and application. Give children 5 minutes to complete as much as they can. Support can be given. We complete ours in silence and adults support children across the class. After 5 minutes, invite individual children to read the objective and give their answer with explanation e.g. I have put a comma here and full stop at the end because it has two clauses in this sentence. After children’s responses, show the ‘teacher’ responses and discuss reasons behind each answer. The aim of Grammar Geek is to increase the children’s knowledge and understanding of grammar whilst engaging them in the unit of work. There are spelling sessions weaved in to encourage this skill in students. I hope you enjoy, please leave a review once you’ve downloaded the resources.

Rather than differentiation, many schools are thinking more in terms of scaffolding in the current climate. The attached documents include: a ppt used for CPD a guidance document containing a range of strategies that can be used to scaffold work for children.

A fully planned and resourced writing unit working on creating a set of instructions for mummification. Included in the resource is: Lesson PowerPoints Lesson activities including a sequencing task and a editing task Fronted adverbials and imperative verbs word mat Instructions knowledge organiser Model text With drafting and redrafting, as well as then publishing a final piece, there should be enough lessons for between 6 and 8 lessons. The ‘lessons’ as they appear on the PowerPoint may take more than one ‘lesson’ and form sequences of learning. The first step is looking at the features of instructions, including a focus on the knowledge organiser before then identifying these in the model text. The second sequence then moves on to being able to sequence the steps of mummification when given a set of instructions that can then be improved as part of a challenge. This moves on to then taking a simple set of instructions and improving them, with teacher modelling and guided practice before completing the activity. This then leads into drafting and redrafting, including teacher modelling and providing feedback based on how pupils write, with the previous activities and word banks still being available to support during the writing process.
