I am a Primary School teacher, currently working in Year 3 and about to complete my NQT year (which has flown by and been absolutely brilliant!) following completion of my PGCE at the University of Cambridge. As this is my first year of teaching, the majority of my resources are aimed at Year 3 students though I have a number of children with SEN so activities are differentiated many ways. Usually they follow a 'mild, medium, spicy' format with further differentiation for additional needs.

Labelling parts of a plant - Science

(0)
Labelling activity differentiated 3 ways (mild, medium, spicy) using a real picture of a plant not a drawing (more realstic to children!). Extension questions for early finishers, lesson plan with link to useful video and a 'concept cartoon'. Concept cartoons are discussion areas for the beginning and end of lessons. They are a simple idea where pupils can imagine themselves being someone in the picture, asking questions, to make it more meaningful for them.

Year 3 Science: Diet and Nutrition

(0)
Covers national curriculum strands about understanding nutrition and diet. Looks at the different food groups with meal planning activities, making a healthy plate and sorting foods. This was really practical and engaging. We had some deep discussions about food types and the children were confident taking healthy eating beyond 'healthy and unhealthy' into carbohydrates, fats, proteins, sugars etc.
