Diary Entry Success Criteria and Knowledge Organiser
I created this to help my Year 6 class with their Diary Entry Writing.
It includes:
WORD BANKS
SENTENCE STARTERS
KEY VOCABULARY
KEY PHRASES
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Classroom Management: Positive Reinforcement - Behaviour Reward Chart
“Let me catch you doing something good.”
A great resource to support the praise of positive actions for children who can find “making good choices” challenging.
For those times you feel you constantly “nag”, this check-in sheet is excellent for developing relationships and working towards an agreed weekly goal.
Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 2 - Adaptations and Camouflage
Lesson 2 of 5 in my topic on evolution.
This again can be broken into two shorter lessons if time is an issue.
It begins with a quick whole class game of find the animal using camouflage, then an investigation into Darwin’s Moth. I then took my class outside with some coloured pencils and cut out butterfly/moth silhouettes they had to colour the paper and hide them in a natural habitat. Great one to get the children out and about before writing the impact of natural selection and adaptation on a creature.
The final task is an adaptation game of survival. This again could be adapted or the children make their own for a different climate.
Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 1 - Introduction to Evolution
My lesson 1 of 5 for my year 6 topic of evolution.
You will need two rolls (approx!) of toilet paper to do the time line of Earth and suggest doing it in the gym hall so it doesn’t blow away.
For the Beak experiments the ppt is editable so you can chose which utensils you have to hand that would be suitable to show the variety of Darwin’s Finches.
You will also need rice crispies or seeds for this experiment.
I tend to block out an afternoon for a new science topic for a wow day, but this could easily be split into two or even three lessons if time is an issue.

Bundle
Year 6 Science Evolution 40% discount
**Everything you need for the Year 6 topic of Evolution! **
Bundle includes: A Knowledge Organiser, and 5 double lessons that cover a wide variety of topics in Evolution and Inheritance. These lessons have been created in line with the National Curriculum of England with the aim of fulfilling the following requirements
-recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
-recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
-identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution
These individual lessons can be split further into smaller one hour/50 minute lessons as I tend to plan for full afternoon science sessions!
