A complete lesson and resources for chapter 2 of the book ' The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' by L Baum. Differentiated 3 ways. The lesson focuses on contrasting details (the difference between Kansas and Oz) and how to use juxtaposition in writing. The original text is in the public domain and available online. The lesson is also available as part of a scheme of work that is based on the understanding of the text and its themes, as well as narrative, non-fiction and descriptive writing skills. Touches on, and links well to American History at the turn of the 20th century. This scheme was incredibly engaging and produced brilliant pieces of writing.

A transition day lesson, full of ideas for getting to know your new class. Could be used on transition day, or on the first day of term. UPDATED FOR 2023 PowerPoint is fully adaptable to your needs, but takes you through the lesson plan step by step. All of the resources are included too. The activities all lead to potential displays for your classroom. 1,. Growth mindset poster activity - feeds into a discussion about the type of learners we want to be. 2. Guess Who bunting - children design their own piece to match their characters, using likes and dislikes etc… Makes an effective display for the start of the year. 3. A passport which will provide space for key information about students and mini art works to complete on transition day. Suitable for KS2. Could be printed onto a single sheet of A3 to make it large enough for display. (this would make it A5 on each surface) 4. A blank mobile phone template - for a Selfie portrait activity and display. I did it Snap chat style with text and images too. Made a really great display for September. Ideas for other time fillers, to avoid running out of activities!
