Slavery themed, based on Clara and the Freedom Quilt as text for the week. I hope this might just give others some ideas, I am only in my second year and this is the first time I have taught this unit, and with quite a hard to resource area of history. Please comment, good or constructive criticism is welcome!

Used with my HAs in a Year 5/6 class. We went through examples of how to use dashes one at a time, with groups coming up with their own example after each one. I had a follow up worksheet with a set of random story starter pictures. They had to choose a picture and write a sentence using each of the dash styles for that picture. This gathered my afl for individual pupils.

A powerpoint I have put together of some of the key events leading up to the Iron Age. Not exhaustive, and hopefully historically accurate in the most part. I know that some aspects have many possible reasons, like the extinction of the Neanderthals, and I intend to explain these alongside the activity. I am going to use the slides as a drama activity putting together a timeline video sketch. If I have made any glaring mistakes, please comment so I know to amend. Please bear in mind I am no history expert, just researching my topic area so all constructive feedback welcomed!

I have two children in my KS2 class still working at Pre-Key Stage. These are the weekly units I put together for them to work on their targets. Hope they save someone some time.

I used this activity with my year 4/5 class and they produced some of the best collage work I have ever seen from children! They planned their own quilt tiles about what freedom meant to them, and then collaged this using a range of materials that reflected the ideas in their designs. There are not too many resources for Slavery topics so thought I would share!

This is the first resource I have uploaded. It is the IWB slides that mirror my planning for this weeks Legends part of the unit Myths and Legends. I am an NQT and its the first time I have taught this unit (I find narrative tricky) but I think the lessons have gone pretty well so thought I would share. Please let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas/suggestions including criticsm please as it will help me amend anything for next time! Many thanks!

Used as an introduction to verb tenses. I thought going into the perfect tenses might have been going too far, but my Y5/6 class did really well with it.

Here is the smartboard file I used throughout the topic. About 7 lessons I think. Resources are not included, and the Roots DVD was used early on in the topic. If you teach the topic and would like resources please request and I can upload. Just wasn't sure if people would find useful. Please leave a comment if you download!

6 question mini test, which I used at the end of my first 1/2 term's teaching to see who needed more work on the objectives I had covered.

IWB slides describing the story of Boudicca. Specific parts of the story are linked to short hot-seating opportunities, which then link in with the written task. I will be delivering this as part of a Roman Day carousel, so groups of 8 children in my class will do this in an hour session, over 4 sessions in the day. Not tried it out (that's next week) so will update when I&'ve done it (if I need to)

Modal verbs notebook used in Y5/6.
