IWB pages to work through to explain the difference between physical and human features of an environment. The last page has lots of different features hiding the words physical or human behind them depending on what they are, as a plenary to the lesson children can come up and say what type they think it s and why, then move the picture to reveal the correct answer.

A simple powerpoint exploring abstract art and in particular the expressionistic work of Keith Garrow. Aiming to inspire children to be bold with shape and texture. Leads into collage, paint and printing work well.

two more sheets to go with previous ones for this topic. Cut and stick sheet with pictures of physical and human features for children to sort plus drawing od Katie Morag's Island where children are instructed to colour physical features green and human features red. Good differentiation allowing children to choose how they show you what they know.

A simple assembly ppt to work through. You will need a cd with the hymns on (Thank you Lord for this new day) and (He made me) and a way to play seaside, forest and thunderstorm sounds: I am using a free white noise app on my Iphone with a docking station. Also a selection of sensory natural items for childen to explore (sand, waterm leaves etc).

Wordsearch currently containing HFWs to extend and support learning in spellings lessons. Children are given their new spellings, practice them in their best handwriting, then find them in the wordsearch. Finally they have to use each word in a sentence to show they understand the meaning.
