We are ExcitEd to share a fabulous 1 week literacy unit for KS2. This collection of 5 lessons is linked to the Victorians and a child appropriate version of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The outcome of the unit is an independent write of a diary entry written about Oliver Twist asking for more. Children will have the opportunity to develop and refine their sentence structure skills throughout the week so that they may apply these to their writing.

This unit has been written in line with the English National Curriculum for children working in years 3 and 4. TAF statements have been used to differentiate the lessons for children working towards, at the expected level or at greater depth.

This download includes:
* 5 literacy lessons with resources building up to an independent write of an Oliver Twist themed diary entry.
* A detailed weekly lesson plan linked to the English National Curriculum.
* A PowerPoint presentation to support each lesson.
* Daily starter activities - spelling rule related.
* Printable worksheets and support materials for each lesson. All differentiated

Lesson 1 is a reading comprehension lesson that introduces the children to the story of Oliver Twist. An appropriate version of this story is recommended and could be used as a whole class reader alongside this unit.

Lesson 2 looks at the correct use of full stops and capital letters. Differentiated worksheets support children in identifying where punctuation should be used in a model diary entry. The features of a diary entry start to be gathered as reference for the children.

Lesson 3 is a role-play lesson that will be exciting and memorable for the class. With the teacher in role, children are dished up gruel and anyone brave enough to ask for more is punished!! This is the basis of children’s independent write and often a highlight of the term.

Lesson 4 puts the planning in place for children’s independent writing. They will complete differentiated activities on the use of the past tense and first person.

Lesson 5 gives children the chance to show off the skills they have developed and refined during the week by writing their own diary entry. The plenary looks at editing and improving.

We have found this to be a fun unit of work related to the Victorians. The outcomes have been outstanding.

Let’s make that first week back a little easier!

As we reach the end of this first term back at school, the nights are drawing in and the weather has taken a turn. But there is still so much to be excited about! Diwali will be celebrated this year on the 31st October. Why not use this opportunity to ask your class to plan a celebratory firework display! Our maths project for children in UKS2 allows pupils to apply, in context, the skills they've been learning to a topical lesson. The assignment is sent to children as an email from a local council and some of the children do take their job quite seriously. It's great fun.
This project would also be suitable for the 5th November or New year when we can enjoy more fireworks.
