Gathered up my pland for year 5 from a great academy school. Mainly English and maths. sample: To use multiplication methods to multiply TU × U or HTU × U. On the board have a question: 76 x 4=? On their whiteboard ask the children to solve this. If they don’t know this then they don’t need to worry as I will be teaching them. Highers do 675 x 3=? On the progress board tally how many can do this. Teach them how to use the multiplication method. They follow in their yellow books. To use written methods to divide whole numbers. Ask the children who can divide 87 by 3? Highers do 87 by 4? Fill in the progress chart. Show them the chunking method. Hayley takes SEN out to show them how to use the number line to divide.

Gathered together my plans from an excellent Catholic school. sample: Watch the story of Rapunzel with the children http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOgZkcs72oI Also show the pictures (thorns, tower, hair, witch etc) that are being used in the lesson on PP. Make sure that everyone is clear on what the pictures are of. Explain that today we will be using our phonic knowledge to write some of the main words in the Rapunzel story, to prepare us for our sentence writing next session. Practise with a few words. Ask the children to recap the story of Rapunzel with a talk partner. As a class verbally retell and order the story. Fill in the story journey of Rapunzel. Discuss the order and use of time connectives and language. Ask the children to think about where the story was set. Today we will be thinking of words that describe the tower that Rapunzel was imprisoned in and different towers. We will start by describing the tower that Rapunzel was imprisoned in. Ask the children to give suggestions of their descriptive words, CT to write them up alongside the picture. Ask children to support CT in spelling the words. Talk to the children about good and bad characters, remind them off the goats and troll from last week. Name each of the characters, discuss if they were good or bad. Explain that we will make a wanted poster for the witch as we did for the troll last week. To prepare ourselves we will think of as many words to describe the witch as we can. Display the picture of the witch and give the chn time to think, pair and share. CT to model how to put these words into sentences.

Nice compilation to get you through the tricky Summer term. Compilation from several schools I taught at. Plenty of material. sample: TTYP what is an autobiography? Come back together and discuss. Repeat for biography. Which would be written in first person and which would be written in third? Who is the audience and what is the purpose of both text types? Activity One Show ‘fact’ and ‘opinion’ on the board. What do these mean? Talk about how autobiographies can contain both because the subject is writing their own life story.

Each group to divide a large piece of paper in half and create a features list for both text types. Read the 2008 Long writing task and discuss how we would tackle this. Your task is to write a biography of Pip’s life, Including information about his inventions. Success Criteria: I have revised the features of biography and autobiography. I have started to think about how I might tackle tomorrow’s writing task.

Important! If you’d like to buy the whole year’s planning (Autumn, Spring and Summer) you’d be better off buying my bundle. This is planning for year 3 for a Spring term. Plenty of great material here that you can adapt and cut and paste into your own school’s model. After decades of teaching I’m retired from teaching now. I’d like to help the younger generation so I’m putting my plans online. I hope your Sundays will be made a little easier by cutting and pasting allowing you more free time.
