Back to School Autumn Term Year 2 Planning

Planning to help you.

Why not cut paste and adapt in your personal planning?

sample:

Monday 30th
LO: To explore the features of spoken & written instructions.
Read ‘bread recipe’ on IWB with whole class. Ask pupils what the purpose of this text was; was it a story? Fact/fiction? (HA may recognise instructions). Ask pupils how many steps were in the sequence. Were they clear & easy to follow? Why do you think this?
Play the game Simon says – then explain to pupils that our new literacy unit is ‘instructions’ and they were all following my instructions during Simon says.
Ask pupils what their understanding of instructions is…model instructions outline and tips on WB. Discuss each point and ask pupils to take a few minutes of ‘partner talk’ to brainstorm any instructions they can see around the classroom/school e.g. class rules.
