In this lesson students acquire and analyse new vocabulary related to global warming through listening to a video clip. This leads on to discussion activities, and new vocabulary is reinforced through group activities and peer teaching.
Students learn to integrate functional language phrases of agreement and opinion into discussion.
The lesson sets the students' expectation of the level one exam.
In this lesson learners practise their tree climbing and aerial rescue skills. This will lead to an in-course assessment and certificate of competence. Some will simulate an accident where they get stuck in the canopy of the tree. As a result of this, their colleagues will perform an aerial recue. Meanwhile, on the ground, learners practise throwing ropes into the trees and tying knots.
In this ultimate frisbee session the students warm up and revisit simple catches, then move on to intermediate catches watching video demonstrations in between. They assess their catches and record feedback for each other on the technical aspects of catching.
This lesson is filmed in a unique early years unit comprising of 20 nursery children and 30 reception age children supported by two teachers and four classroom assistants.
The two teachers have agreed to use a shared theme of Jack and the Beanstalk for the sessions. Children in both reception and nursery groups work on a variety of numeracy focussed activities to consolidate and extend their learning. The timetable is organised so that most able nursery pupils can work with reception aged pupils. Some pupils have a free choice of activity, whilst others are given a selection chosen by the teacher or TA.
The learning objective of the week is to use the conjunction word 'and'.
In this lesson the children arrive to discover giant footprints, a tooth and that all their snacks have been eaten!
The children use adjectives to describe the footprints and tooth, and use the conjunction word 'and' to join these together.
In this reception class, children believe that a dinosaur has been in their classroom.
They learn how to measure footprints and other objects they discover inside and outside the classroom using standard and non-standard measuring methods, from metric rulers to lollipop sticks and Lego bricks.
This year 1 Literacy class are looking at the topic of growing things. They have learned the story 'The Enormous Turnip' and the associated actions.
This lesson sees the children moving on to the 'innovate' stage where they begin to think about changes to the story. The story is reviewed verbally in groups. Carousels of activities to do with adjectives and improving sentences take place. Finally, the children retell the story using puppets and sequencing.
In the previous lesson the class looked at the properties and names of 2D shapes, which they are now fairly confident with. Today the class study a 3D shape, and play a game in which they have to use new vocabulary to describe a shape to their partner.
The class is grouped into mixed ability pairs where they address misconceptions identified in the previous session. Less able groups are supported by a TA, revising 2D shapes and looking at 3D shapes.
This unit looks at the music industry, and learners are working towards either making a music magazine or video.
The aims of the lesson are for learners to identify who their target audience might be, and what kind of information they need to help them make their own product.
This involves researching audiences by looking at popular artists' websites.
Students look at social developments between 1951 and 1964, specifically the position of women and attitudes to immigration and racial violence. The teacher starts with a question and answer whiteboard exercise based on the homework set looking at the position of women. This is followed by independent research tasks and some rich discussion surrounding the issues raised.
The topic for this year group is decision Mathematics. Previously they looked at setting up network diagrams based on critical paths, and this lesson focusses on putting the numbers in. They also revisit prior learning including Dykstra's algorithm and recapping methods from core Maths.
The aim of this lesson is to understand the causes, implications and strategies to prevent violence in sport.
Students do various activities to see if they can identify what is an act of violence in sport and its causes. They explain what the implications of violence are on the sport, society and players and discuss strategies to prevent them.
Students look at the Bible to see whether it has authority and can provide good moral advice in our daily life. The class is then randomly separated into two groups with a for and against side, and students enter a debate to argue their case.
By challenging new ideas, this lesson will allow students, whether they believe the Bible is a good source of wisdom or not, to evaluate and decide their position on Christian beliefs and values.
This year 13 Biology class have about 11 weeks till their exam and this is the final topic area for the specification (topic 8). It revolves around gene probes and genetic screening and they will look at gel electrophoresis to have a better understanding of this. After a number of whiteboard activities, the class look at some questions from the exam booklet.
This year 13 class looks at applied geology and the development of an airfield and a dam site, including the geological consequences of building these sites. The class is divided into two teams, where one looks at the airport site whilst the other looks at the dam. They have to consider geological reasons for developing the sites from a company perspective. The two groups then present to each other reasons for and against the developments. They then choose their map for the following lesson.
In this lesson, students will be working on their practical exam paper (G404). They have already been given a stimulus and commission to devise a practical piece with the target audience in mind that must incorporate music, dance and drama. After a quick recap of prior learning, the groups warm up, rehearse, and refine their performances. Finally, they perform and evaluate each other's work.
This year 2 top ability set are studying rhyming words, finding them and creating their own rhymes based on Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes. They find missing rhyme words in Dahl's poems, and develop their own word banks, using this to create their own Rhyming Couplets. Together with her TA, the teacher arranges differentiated activities that target lower, mid and higher ability pupils.
This is a year 2 independent learning lesson and the theme is castles. The session is called 'COOL Time' (Carry On Our Learning Time).
The teacher sets out a variety of engaging activities in different subjects such as Maths, English, Design, and History so children can practise and embed their learning. Half the class have set activities to follow, whilst the other have the freedom to choose their own. This works on a rotating basis, so all children have the opportunity to practise skills, and pursue areas of interest.
This mixed ability class looks at simple multiplication. In the previous session the pupils reviewed what they already knew. In this lesson any gaps in knowledge are reviewed and the teacher has narrowed down which methods children need to focus on. The class is divided into ability groups focusing on different skills, such as repeated addition, grouping, and consolidating all methods.
The aim is that by the end of the lesson children begin to recall facts by memory.
In the lesson this higher ability group look at greater than, less than, and equal to, with calculations. The class is split into groups, and the higher ability children compare calculations with addition, subtraction, multiplication and fractions, whilst the rest of the class are split into three sub groups comparing calculations using symbols.
This Science lesson takes a cross-curricular approach, pairing the creative curriculum theme of healthy bodies and ancient Egypt, with Maths skills of recording and reading information from tables. After discussing what makes a fair test in the classroom, the children venture outside to conduct their own practical experiments using a carousel of activities.
This year 4 top ability English set are writing an extended narrative piece about Harry Potter.
Previously they have studied Harry Potter's characters and in this lesson the children are looking at developing their stories. The class had already revised extended noun phrases, adverbials etc, and had developed a scene setting for the story to take place.
This lesson is one of a series, in which children prepare for a real charity fundraising sale.
The children use and review their times table knowledge in a money context, discussing what they will need to know in order to successfully run stalls. Children are encouraged to use efficient methods to solve number problems, apply the grid method, and use mathematical language.
In this year 4 Maths lesson the class apply short, formal multiplication to word problems and missing number questions. A variety of activities and tasks ensue, including calculating the amount of money the class will need for their upcoming Isle of Wight trip. The TA works with the lower ability children and moves around the group to help children who need formal support.
This middle to top ability year 5 group look at the function of prepositions and the placement of prepositional phrases which feeds in to the work they have been doing on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
By the end of the week, the aim is that all pupils will be able to create a piece of work incorporating prepositional phrases.
In this lesson, they look at lines of symmetry on regular and irregular shapes.
Split by ability group, they fold paper shapes to make the line of symmetry clear for all pupils. By moving the shape around and using mirrors, the class answer test questions.
Lower ability pupils are primarily supported by the teacher whilst the TA pushes the middle and higher ability pupils.
This year 5 lower ability Maths group are learning to find percentages of amounts, and use this to answer multi-step problems. The class work on finding 5% using the teacher's T chart method. During the lesson common misconceptions are addressed.
This lower ability Year 6 Maths group looks at composite rectilinear shapes and calculating their area having previously looked at rectangles and other polygons.
There are two main activities, one where it is clear that the shapes are divided, and another where they are fused. Pupils are asked to separate the composite shapes and calculate lengths using known facts.
This year 6 middle ability group looks at Venn and Carrol diagrams in preparation for SATs.
In the main task they pick questions from past papers, and using the skills they have learned previously, such as multiples, square numbers and prime numbers, they sort the data into diagrams. Activities are distributed around the class so pupils move around to complete them. The TA supports a visually impaired pupil as a talk partner and for initial session input whilst also pushing the most able pupils.
In this lesson students learn to be able to use a accurately. The context of the lesson is talking about places in town.The lesson is made up of listening, speaking and reading activities. Finally, students assess each other's learning using flash cards.
A previous topic covered the use of particle diagrams to show the arrangements in solids, liquids and gases. In this lesson the class covers atoms, elements, compounds, molecules and crystals.
Pupils discuss and correct work from the previous session, then create a graphical organiser for the current lesson content.
