8 KS2 Shared reading texts + comprehension questions

8 KS2 Shared reading texts + comprehension questions

(0)
I've uploaded 8 shared reading texts (from the same book - The alchemist) and comprehension questions to match. We've been using these in a Year 3 class (1 text over 2 days. Day 1 acting it out and focusing on new vocab, day 2 on the questions) as we're having a big push on vocabulary given the area we work in. However, I shared these with a Year 6 teacher and they've also used them 1 per session with their class and with greater independence. These are seriously challenging texts and will get you thinking too! - the more challenging vocab is highlighted in red. - some of the texts have a warm up in purple above the text. - I've also put how I want them to begin answering the questions in blue for support (seeing as I used it in Y3 ) This is taken from the first 2 chapters of the book and we are continuing to use this text next half term so will upload more then. I've used PIRA stem question starts for the comprehension questions (given it's a tricky text, there may be one than 1 answer or will depend on how the children explain their answers) Hope these help!
Year 3 - LC medium term 'Who is Azzi?'

Year 3 - LC medium term 'Who is Azzi?'

(0)
(Linked to the book 'Azzi in between' This is our Year 3 Autumn 2 Learning Challenge Planning (coverage of subjects excluding English, Maths and Science) + I've included the break down of coverage across the year at a glance (working doc) so you can see what's covered from the Year 3 curriculum and when. We have 2 hours slots each week for LC sessions. This planning includes a brief overview (WALTs/WILFs, key idea) for 14 sessions (7 weeks) + week 8 is RE week and these plans have been uploaded separately. We also have 2 hours each week allotted for Science. Our Science sessions also slot into the Learning Challenge central question. The planning for this has been uploaded separately. These are the actual plans we used and were not created explicitly for TES. Hopefully they are useful for anyone new to the curriculum or as a starting point. Hope they help!

This is our Year 3 Autumn 1 Science Planning + I've included the break down of coverage across the year at a glance (working doc) so you can see what's covered from the Year 3 curriculum and when. We have 2 hours each week allotted for Science. This planning includes a brief overview of all those sessions with WALTs/WILFs for 14 hours (7 weeks) planning. We also have 2 hours of Learning Challenge sessions each week (history, geography, music, DT, Art etc) you'll be able to see these other objectives in the yearly overview of coverage that I've included. I've also uploaded the planning for these separately. Our LC sessions are also tied to our central question. Some of our English sessions have also been linked into this half term's planning (2 week block on Non-Fiction David Attenborough documentaries) and this has also been uploaded separately. These are the actual plans we used and were not created explicitly for TES. Hopefully they are useful for anyone new to the curriculum or as a starting point. Hope they help!

Hi all, I've uploaded my: Literacy + Numeracy planning, weekly timetables and also learning challenge planning (Science, history, geography, art, dt etc) medium term plans for Autumn 1. You'll also find 'overall coverage' which is how I divided up the new curriculum as a snap shot over all the half terms of the year and the running themes. I've uploaded as is for you to tweak or use as you need to. Many many hours of work here so thought I'd share the love and save you some time. I'm also uploading my planning for the other half terms as well, so if these were of use for you then check those out too.

Hi there, I thought I'd share the love and give others a chance to benefit from the hours and hours worth of planning that goes into each weekly plan. These are my own plans for the whole of the year. You will obviously need to tweak as some half terms are longer/shorter, or INSET days may vary. I've also included all my weekly timetables with a weekly overview on it + homework for the year! Hope it helps somebody in need!
