English / Literacy: Recount Writing Activity - Planet Unknown

(1)
Planet Unknown is a brilliant futuristic animation about a two Space Rovers, sent to find potential inhabitable planets using 'nSeed' pods to detect the possibility of growing plants. In the story, the two Rovers are undertaking their mission, but suddenly find themselves battling through an asteroid shower. This resource is two lessons; the first gets children to brainstorm descriptive language for the two characters and the setting, while the second is the writing recount of events from the film. The two objectives are as follows: 1) To describe a film setting and its characters 2) To be able to recount a film as a written story These are each supported by specific success criteria to aid children's writing. This pack includes a Smartboard presentation with detailed slides for both lessons, a planning worksheet for lesson one, and screenshots JPEGs of the characters and the setting It can easily be adapted for different KS2 year groups and a particular skill focus, e.g. tense, sentence starters, grammar or vocab. I have kept it as a general recount focus involving all skills.

Farming in the past and present.

(0)
This is a colourful book aimed at EYFS and KS1 told by a shire horse called Millie. Millie talks about her life and the tractors on the farm in which she lives. Millie then shows us photographs of her great, great, great grandmother Mildred. This book compares the difference between modern tractors and horse drawn machinery in the past. I made this book for my class as I couldn’t find anything similar specifically aimed at 4-7 year olds. Once we read it, the children picked their favourite pages to colour and wrote their own sentences for our version of the book. The illustrations are included in a ‘colour in’ version with lines to write sentences at the back of the book.

E-Safety & Cyberbullying - PSHE Session [P4C PSHE] (Social Media, Cyber Bullying, Safety, Computer)

(3)
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘E-Safety & Cyberbullying’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group. This download is also relevant to all teachers of Computer Science, ICT and Computing. The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues. The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities. The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities (in 8 different formats). The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes. The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. Choose from out complete selection of our ‘Philosophy Boxes’ PSHE lessons here. You can also save money by purchasing lessons as a complete 20-session collection here!

An assembly about the SMART rules of e-safety. Useful to present around Safer Internet Day but relevant for any time of the year. It was originally written for a KS2 class to perform to the whole school but could easily be adapted for more or less speakers. We gave out red/green flashcards to the audience to encourage audience participation. NOTE: I have removed some images on the PowerPoint and replaced with advice on what to insert instead as I didn’t want to share some of the personal examples we used. I take no credit for the video clip - it’s a newsround special (see link in PowerPoint)
