Investigation based on a Japanese multiplication method. Good if you have a few year 6 children that have mastered multiplication methods and are exploring alternatives.

Used this couple of years now - defines all the grammatical terms and gives some examples as well. Publisher document. Perfect for revision or possibly for parents.

9 weeks of planning for materials in year 2 Includes: MTP overviews and week to week planning. Powerpoints for each lesson. Resources for each lesson. Dual coded vocabulary display. End of Unit assessment.

This is my overview of the Year 2 Unit on materials. It uses enquiry based learning. Each week there is a question around the learning and concepts covered. These are linked to https://seerih-innovations.org/enquiringscience4all/ I have included, knowledge organiser ideas, which are dual coded with some images that could be used for a display. There is a week by week plan and links back to curriculum coverage of skills as well. At the end of the unit do a short quiz which is also included. There is a paid version of this resource: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-2-everyday-materials-planning-12447163 Which includes all of resources (powerpoints and worksheets etc).

Our mission statement - context relevant to our school obviously but figured it might be relevant/useful to someone else as a starting point.

This a progression of skills document that I created for my school in writing. This is specific to my context but think it could be relevant across the board. I’ve broken down writing into 6 areas: organisation, grammar, purpose, vocabulary spelling and handwriting. I’ve then also organised it for each year group from EYFS right through to year 6. This is a working document and as such I’m using as a basis for understanding progression through the school not as a concrete, set in stone model!

Knowledge organisers starting in year 1 all the way through to year 6. They include short suggested assessment questions from year 1-5 (not for year 6 due to the high number of assessment methods available). I intend to use them across school to help teachers, children and parents to recognise the end of year expectations and what to focus on each year group.

Based on a series of short 500 word texts that I found on TES. I’ve added VIPERS style questioning and I use them for short intervention work or after school reading club. 1-5 are comprehension - text followed by questions. 6-11 are in a slightly different format. We read the text together and discuss then I give them 2 minutes to highlight or underline the Bronze, Silver and Gold words. We discuss them together and then move on to the rest of the questions.
