Lesson 4

Discuss with pupils what plants need – focus on the water. How does the plant get water? Challenge when pupils say through their roots – does the water just stay in the root?

Discuss and assess previous knowledge of pupils.

Pose problem to class
Can you solve my problem for me?

I’m very thirsty. I have a cup of water but I’m not allowed to pick it up or bend down to drink from it. How can I get a drink?

Discuss ideas and settle on using a straw – what part of the plant do you think acts as a straw?

Go through ppt and recap how plants transport water around.

Give pupils a very brief explanation cut up into strips.
Pupils to order how water moves around a plant – can they think of time adverbials to include? Could they add further detail to the explanation?

Lesson 5 and 6                                            LO: To write an explanation 

Remind pupils of features of explanation texts – refer to working wall.

Children should write an explanation of either how water is transported though a plant or how a plant grows - child's choice and will reflect on their science knowledge.

Think about how we should introduce the explanation – class/child/parent/carer, write a few sentences together which pupil can use as a basis to help them start their explanations.

Geography

History

LO: To find out about the people of Egypt from artefacts that are left behind

Have a look at the items and try to decide what they are. When you're ready turn over to see the description. 

What do the artefacts tell us about the dead person? AND – What does this tell us about the Ancient Egyptians?
