Year 4 - Four week unit of work with complete lesson presentations for each lesson including starter activities, teaching points, WAGOLLS and additional resources for lower ability/ SEND learners. The outcome being that the children write their own narrative based around the book.
The unit of work was planned and used for both in school and remote learning sessions and therefore each lesson powerpoint can easily be uploaded onto remote learning platforms. The unit of work is based around the Rik Mayall Jackanory storytelling, embedded into the lesson presentations and was used alongside BBC resources and additional Twinkl resources (highlighted in the planning).
Each week focuses on a national curriculum objective and of course length of time on each section can be adapted dependent on the class.
