This is a six weeks medium term plan for the topic of The Farm, which covers all the areas of the EYFS. This can be edited and will help many teachers out with what activities / teaching / assessment bands to focus upon this term (this was written in April so the children are achieving ELG's by this point). I wrote it all myself and was specific for my school and the books we were covering were also specifically chosen for this topic. The book covered are; Chicken Liken, Pig in the Pond and Farmer Duck. RE is also on here all planned - the church as a special place I hope this helps!

This is simple WANTED POSTER for John the Baptist to use as a lesson starter to encourage the children to discuss who he is, why is he wanted, etc. I have used the same template three times and have changed the photo of him in each one. Here is outline of what i will do; Teacher puts up a “wanted” poster of John The Baptist with a reward of half a million pounds. Pupils /Teacher to read out vivid descriptions on him while the rest of the class will try to decide who he is and what his role is. Matthew 11:9-10 and 3:1-3, Mark 1:3, John 1:27 and Luke 16:16.

This is a science worksheet for Year 1. First they have to stick a picture in a box and then name the animals. Next they have to decide which group the animal belongs to (bird, fish, reptile, mammal, amphibian etc). Once they have done that they have to write a feature of that animal group to say why they think it is a bird, reptile, amphibian, mammal etc. LO and success criteria are in a box at the top of the page ready for the teacher to mark. This will save loads of time! Enjoy.

The children have to cut out each 2-D Shape and arrange them to create a Santa and a Christmas Tree. The children are also given an extension question which asks if they can name all of the shapes. This is ideal for encouraging partner talk. This can be used to create the children's Christmas Cards too! They could add a beard and baubles etc. Will save lots of time!

This is a worksheet (differentiated) where the children have to write a list poem using their five senses. On one worksheet the children have to read the words 'I can see_______ I can hear______' and complete the sentence. The other worksheet is for the visual learners who look at the image and write what they can smell, hear, see, etc. Can be edited so that the HA have to write the five senses words and their full sentence.
