This unit is aimed at Y6 and focuses on the key question: 'What is the best way to show commitment to Allah? It encourages the children to think about Islam, faith and the 5 pillars. It’s a great introductory unit to Islam that is followed up by several units later in the year. This is a whole unit based on Discovery RE resources. It is a 6 lesson unit plan with the following learning questions: Lesson 1: What does it mean to make a commitment? How might a Muslim show their commitment to their faith? Lesson 2: Why do Muslims believe it is important to worship and worship together? How are mosques used for worship? What value do some Muslims find in private prayer and worship? Lesson 3: How does giving to charity show a commitment to God (Allah)? Lesson 4: Why and how do Muslims celebrate their festivals? Lesson 5: Why and where do Muslims go on pilgrimage? Lesson 6: What have we learned about the 5 pillars and how Muslims show commitment to Allah? Each of the 6 lessons includes success criteria and a challenge, as well as all the resources required. This resource is organised into 1 large PowerPoint (also PDF version) with all 6 lessons together so that teachers can go back to previous learning, as required. All resources come in either Word and PDF format or PowerPoint and PDF for ease of use. Please do leave a positive review if you find these resources useful. Many thanks in advance.

This is a wonderful unit of work for Y6 pupils based on a non-fiction ‘true story’ book called ‘Survivors: the Extraordinary tales of the wild and beyond’ compiled by David Long and Kerry Hyndman. It is full of fantastic and interesting short real-life stories that completely engages the children and their curiosity. This is a sequence of 30 x lessons or 6 weeks to keep the children engaged. Even though it’s a combination of many non-fiction ‘true’ short stories there are a variety of writing outcomes in different genres… Writing outcomes: • Narrative • Recount • Newspaper report • Picture perfects (creative writing based on picture stimulus) This unit is made up of 30 x lessons and includes all planning and supporting documents in both Word (editable) and PDF formats for ease of use. All teaching slides are in both Notebook and PDF format also. Children will write a survival story, in narrative form following the plan, using: expanded noun phrases; relative clauses; simple, compound and complex sentences; progressive tense; ambitious vocabulary like adverbs, adjectives and figurative language. As a current Y6 teacher I would really appreciate you leaving a positive review if you found the resources useful - many thanks in advance!

As a Y6 teacher I love covering this book and all its related themes of inclusion, resilience, bullying, disabilities, compassion, kindness and understanding. This is a big unit (45 lessons) I completed over the whole of Spring term with a heavy SPaG focus in preparation for Y6 SATs tests. The book Wonder by R.C.Palacio is a brilliant text to cover in Y6 and provides the opportunity for many writing outcomes - both fiction and non-fiction. Writing outcomes: 1st person narratives Instructions Biographies Picture perfects (creative writing from picture stimulus) This unit includes all teaching slides (week by week) in both Notebook and PDF format for ease of use and all supporting documents in Word (editable) and PDF also. There is a detailed planning document with SEN and challenge most days. I have included some display files for your English working wall and everything I use when teaching this unit - I do hope it useful.
