Introduction Welcome to the new edition of our Cambridge Primary English series. Since its launch, the series has been used by teachers and learners in over 100 countries for teaching the Cambridge Primary English curriculum framework. This exciting new edition has been designed by talking to Primary English teachers all over the world. We have worked hard to understand your needs and challenges, and then carefully designed and tested the best ways of meeting them.
FT
As a result of this research, we’ve made some important changes to the series. This Teacher’s Resource has been carefully redesigned to make it easier for you to plan and teach the course. The series now includes digital editions of the Learner's Books and Workbooks. This Teacher’s Resource also offers additional materials available to download from Cambridge GO. (For more information on how to access and use your digital resource, please see inside front cover.)
The series uses the most successful teaching approaches like active learning and metacognition and this Teacher’s Resource gives you full guidance on how to integrate them into your classroom.
Formative assessment opportunities help you to get to know your learners better, with clear learning intentions and success criteria as well as an array of assessment techniques, including advice on self and peer assessment.
A
Clear, consistent differentiation ensures that all learners are able to progress in the course with tiered activities, differentiated worksheets and advice about supporting learners’ different needs. All our resources include extra language support to enable teaching and learning in English. They help learners build core English skills with vocabulary and grammar support, as well as additional language worksheets.

About the framework The information in this section is based on the Cambridge Primary English curriculum framework (0058) from 2020. You should always refer to the appropriate curriculum framework document for the year of your learners' examination to confirm the details and for more information. Visit www.cambridgeinternational.org/primary to find out more.
FT
The Cambridge Primary English curriculum from 2020 has been designed to help learners to become confident communicators. They will learn to apply reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in everyday situations, as well as developing a broad vocabulary and an understanding of grammar and language. Through this curriculum, learners will develop evaluation skills, learn to appreciate texts from different cultures and learn to write for different audiences and purposes. The Cambridge Primary English curriculum framework is split into three strands: reading, writing and speaking and listening. For more information, visit the Cambridge Assessment International Education website. A curriculum framework correlation document (mapping the Cambridge Primary English resources to the learning objectives) and scheme of work are available to download from Cambridge GO (as part of this Teacher's Resource).

Approaches to teaching and learning Active learning
FT
The following are the teaching approaches underpinning our course content and how we understand and define them.
Active learning is a teaching approach that places learner learning at its centre. It focuses on how learners learn, not just on what they learn. We, as teachers, need to encourage learners to ‘think hard’, rather than passively receive information. Active learning encourages learners to take responsibility for their learning and supports them in becoming independent and confident learners in school and beyond.
Assessment for Learning
R
A
Assessment for Learning (AfL) is a teaching approach that generates feedback which can be used to improve learners’ performance. Learners become more involved in the learning process and, from this, gain confidence in what they are expected to learn and to what standard. We, as teachers, gain insights into a learner’s level of understanding of a particular concept or topic, which helps to inform how we support their progression.
Differentiation
D
Differentiation is usually presented as a teaching approach where teachers think of learners as individuals and learning as a personalised process. Whilst precise definitions can vary, typically the core aim of differentiation is viewed as ensuring that all learners, no matter their ability, interest or context, make progress towards their learning intentions. It is about using different approaches and appreciating the differences in learners to help them make progress. Teachers therefore need to be responsive, and willing and able to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of their learners.
Language awareness For all learners, regardless of whether they are learning through their first language or an additional language, language is a vehicle for learning. It is through language that learners access the learning intentions of the lesson and communicate their ideas. It is our responsibility, as teachers, to ensure that language doesn’t present a barrier to learning.
15 Original material © Cambridge University Press 2020. This material is not final and is subject to further changes prior to publication.
We are working with Cambridge Assessment International Education towards endorsement of this title. CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY ENGLISH 2 TEACHER'S RESOURCE
Metacognition Metacognition describes the processes involved when learners plan, monitor, evaluate and make changes to their own learning behaviours. These processes help learners to think about their own learning more explicitly and ensure that they are able to meet a learning goal that they have identified themselves or that we, as teachers, have set.
Skills for Life
FT
How do we prepare learners to succeed in a fast-changing world? To collaborate with people from around the globe? To create innovation as technology increasingly takes over routine work? To use advanced thinking skills in the face of more complex challenges? To show resilience in the face of constant change? At Cambridge, we are responding to educators who have asked for a way to understand how all these different approaches to life skills and competencies relate to their teaching. We have grouped these skills into six main Areas of Competency that can be incorporated into teaching, and have examined the different stages of the learning journey and how these competencies vary across each stage. These six key areas are:
Creativity – finding new ways of doing things, and solutions to problems Collaboration – the ability to work well with others Communication – speaking and presenting confidently and participating effectively in meetings Critical thinking – evaluating what is heard or read, and linking ideas constructively Learning to learn – developing the skills to learn more effectively Social responsibilities – contributing to social groups, and being able to talk to and work with people from other cultures.

Setting up for success Our aim is to support better learning in the classroom with resources that allow for increased learner autonomy while supporting teachers to facilitate learner learning. Through an active learning approach of enquiry-led tasks, open-ended questions and opportunities to externalise thinking in a variety of ways, learners will develop analysis, evaluation and problem-solving skills. Some ideas to consider to encourage an active learning environment are as follows: Set up seating to make group work easy.
•
Create classroom routines to help learners to transition between different types of activity efficiently, e.g. move from pair work to listening to the teacher to independent work.
•
Source mini-whiteboards, which allow you to get feedback from all learners rapidly.
•
Start a portfolio for each learner, keeping key pieces of work to show progress at parent–teacher days.
•
Have a display area with learner work and vocab flashcards.
FT
•
Planning for active learning
A
We recommend the following approach to planning:
1 Planning learning intentions and success criteria: these are the most important feature of the lesson. Teachers and learners need to know where they are going in order to plan a route to get there.
R
2 Introducing the lesson: include a ‘hook’ or starter to engage learners using imaginative strategies. This should be an activity where all learners are active from the start of the lesson. 3 Managing activities: during the lesson, try to: give clear instructions, with modelling and written support; coordinate logical and orderly transitions between activities; make sure that learning is active and all learners are engaged ; create opportunities for discussion around key concepts.
D
4 Assessment for Learning and differentiation: use a wide range of Assessment for Learning techniques and adapt activities to a wide range of abilities. Address misconceptions at appropriate points and give meaningful oral and written feedback which learners can act on. 5 Plenary and reflection: at the end of each activity and at the end of each lesson, try to: ask learners to reflect on what they have learnt compared to the beginning of the lesson; build on and extend this learning. To help planning using this approach, a blank Lesson plan template is available to download from Cambridge GO (as part of this Teacher's Resource). We offer a range of Professional Development support to help you teach Cambridge Primary Mathematics with confidence and skill. For details, visit cambridge.org/education

make sure you are confident about your own skills and professional understanding of English for any given session, so that you can think about the process of learning you are asking of learners (wherever possible) create opportunities for learners to think, plan, do, talk and reflect alongside the activities in this unit.
Keep in mind the art of good questioning. Delve deeper into a response with ‘What’, ‘Why’ and ‘How’ questions, and use ‘Tell me more about …’. At the end of this unit, consider the metacognition strategies you included in your teaching and which were most effective for learners, for example: •
activating prior knowledge
•
direct instruction to use a strategy
•
modelling of learned strategy
•
memorisation of strategy
•
guided practice
•

Learners will first listen to an introduction before the story continues as both audio and text.
one. Remind them to write sentences with correct punctuation. You could provide sentence starters and/or model some answers before asking learners to write. You could ask them to draw the picture too.
Learners should listen out for what each character brings to school and write answers in a notebook. Play track 01 (audio of The Show and Tell Day) (more than once if helpful) or read the text aloud.
In preparation for Activity 3, encourage learners to think about objects they could bring in for a ‘Show and Tell’ presentation.
Challenge learners by asking them to add an idea that would really interest them (even if not real), e.g. a ‘Show and Tell’ of dinosaur eggs or a ‘Show and Tell’ of old toys.

Audioscript for track 01: The Show and Tell Day It was Show and Tell Day at school. The children were happy. They had things to show. Everyone liked Show and Tell Day.
Challenge learners by asking them to provide several solutions to the problem and relate to their own classroom.
‘I will go first,’ said Miss Garcia. ‘I will tell you about my family. I have a mum, a dad and two sisters.’ ‘I like to take photos of my family.’
D
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by asking them to work with a partner, providing worksheet 1.1 to those who will benefit from writing answers into a chart.

well as those who are remembering to take turns in listening and speaking during the presentations.
‘I like finding rocks and shells,’ said Omar. ‘I go down to the beach to find them.’ The children looked at the rocks and shells.
Answers: Learners’ own answers Differentiation ideas: Support learners by reading through the questions with them. Some learners may prefer to work with a partner if they share the same or similar interests or if they have a ‘Show and Tell’ that is relevant to them both.
Zara was next. ‘I like to make animals from paper,’ said Zara. ‘I keep them in this box.’
Beno came to show his kites to the class. ‘Look at this kite,’ said Beno. ‘It can fly very fast.’ ‘Wow! Your kites are great,’ said Kofi. ‘Thanks,’ said Beno. ‘You can come and fly kites with me.’
4 Play a word game! (10 minutes)
Learning intention: to explore words in terms of letters, sounds and meanings Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.1, Activity 4; word cards Description: Model how to play the game using the example in the Learner’s Book. If necessary, provide word cards as prompts or ask learners to prepare their own word lists.

‘I can make ladybirds and frogs and fish,’ said Zara. ‘I like this rabbit,’ said Leila. Zara smiled. ‘I can show you how to make it,’ she said.
R
‘Oh no! We have too many things to show,’ said Omar. ‘We need a bigger table.’
Description: Tell learners they are going to plan their own ‘Show and Tell’ using the questions in the Learner’s Book, Session 1.1, to help them.
D
Allow them to record their ideas in any way they like, e.g. chart, visuals, words. You could work with a group who may need support to answer the questions.
Ask learners who are ready to present their ‘Show and Tell’ things. For learners who are not ready, explain that presentations will continue throughout the week. Alternatively, you could plan a ‘Show and Tell’ event for all learners to give their presentations on the same day. Check which learners can confidently plan and share their ideas, and are motivated and engaged. Spot those who are eager to participate fully as
The game can help with non-verbal communication, phonics, spelling, comprehension, vocabulary building, speaking and syllable counting. So you could play it several times. Answers: Learners’ own ideas Differentiation ideas: Support learners who need some initial ideas by providing word cards for prompts. Challenge learners by asking them if anyone knows what a phoneme is. Where appropriate extend to other common terms e.g. digraph.
Plenary idea Play an ‘exit the classroom’ game (5 minutes) Description: Extend the ‘Show and Tell’ idea. Let learners ask you up to 20 questions to discover what your own ‘Show and Tell’ might be. It could be a fictional item, so you could challenge them with something unusual, e.g. a collection of exotic butterflies from around the world. Assessment ideas: Ask learners to reflect on their own use of open and closed questions (self-assessment).

Can they provide more examples of how to use a verb like lose? Ask learners what other verbs have many different ways to use them in English, e.g. take.
Plenary idea Lose and loose (5 minutes) Description: Ask learners to work in pairs to provide two sentences – one using lose and one using loose. Explain that one of the words is from the verb to lose, e.g. I’ve lost my purse, and the other is an adjective, e.g. My trainer laces are loose. Are there other similar words that learners find confusing (e.g. their, there, they’re; two, to, too). Ask how they will remember the difference between these words – and any others they identify.

Starter idea The story so far … (5–10 minutes) Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.3, Getting started Description: Put learners into groups. Ask them to work quickly to recall the main points in the story from Session 1.2. Ask them to summarise by using the questions in the Learner’s Book as a guide: The Chen family were having normal evening when there was a power cut. Their torch was low on battery and then stopped working. An ice cream cake for Grandma was in the freezer and would melt.

Ask learners to sort themselves into the correct order to retell the story. Repeat several times if necessary. You can use the Workbook activity here for further practice.
FT
Invite responses from the groups. Look out for those who are struggling to problem-solve and support them.
Challenge learners to think about the different ways to read the text within the group, e.g. by character/ by image. Is there an opportunity to extend the narrator’s speech?
Ask for their ideas about what they would do to solve the problems, e.g. the cake would not really melt in a short time if the door was left closed. Things don’t melt that quickly; it was a starry night so once our eyes adjust, we can see quite well in the dark.
Learning intention: to work in groups to tell the events of a story using pictures and speech bubbles
Draw learners’ attention to the four chunks of text in the Learner’s Book. Tell them they need to write the story in their notebooks by sequencing the text in the right order, then drawing a picture to illustrate each chunk of text. Keep in mind this activity will help with sequencing, sorting, reading, understanding a story summary, reading and writing captions, illustrating a story and storyboarding.

1 Tell the next part of the story … (10–20 minutes)
R
Description: Ask learners to work in groups of four (one learner for each character). Give learners five minutes to read the text together in their group, supporting each other with any tricky words, but encouraging them to ‘read’ the pictures too.
D
Stop them and discuss the story. Is the family’s solution what they expected? Did any of them have the same idea? Ask learners to re-read the pictures and speech bubbles noticing the end of sentence punctuation: full stops, exclamation marks and question marks. If possible, consider asking groups to record their readings so they can hear their own read aloud voices in character role play.
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by allowing them to work in mixed groups so different strengths can be utilised.
Answers: First: It was an evening just like any other in the Chen family apartment. Suddenly, the lights went off. It was a power cut. Second: Mr Chen found his torch, but it was only a small beam. The apartment got hot and the fridge and freezer stopped working too. Grandma’s ice cream cake was going to melt. Then the torch went out. Third: Amy had a good idea to use the light from her tablet. Ben had a good idea to eat the ice cream cake before it melted. Fourth: Later, the power came back on. Then the problem was how to tell Grandma that they had eaten her cake. Differentiation ideas: Support learners by encouraging them to work in pairs to make a largerscale poster. Use Worksheet 1.2 for learners who may benefit from cutting and sticking in order to sequence the story before illustrating it.

You can use Worksheet 1.3 here, which provides speech bubbles to help learners with part 2 of the story. They may adopt the same technique for retelling part 1, if helpful.
Geography: Learners find out more about light pollution in cities, especially if it is a problem where they live.
Learners will need to decide what props they need, if any. Encourage them to consider how they will introduce their play, e.g. is there a musical introduction or an opening scene to introduce the characters?

•
(if possible) make some ice cubes at home in the freezer; put one cube in the fridge to see how long it takes to melt and the other in a cup out of the fridge. How could they record the results? How long did each take to melt? They should report back to the class on what they found.
Answers for Workbook
A
Allow time for learners to plan their performance together and then to enjoy performing. Consider capturing some on film if possible or invite another class in school to watch.
•
Encourage peer group review of each performance.
R
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by suggesting they number their speech bubbles so they know what to say and when. Some learners may have added to the story when they were sequencing and storyboarding it.
D
If they wish to use their own version of the story for the role play, challenge them to win the support of the group by using persuasive language.

Fill the gap (5–10 minutes)
Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.3; Workbook 1.3 Description: Ask learners to listen to the sentences in the Workbook activity as you read them aloud. Ask them to fill in the gaps orally as you work through each of the differentiated levels: missing high frequency words; verbs and noun phrases including adjectives. Alternatively, you may prefer to use these sentences as dictations for which learners may be asked to write the whole sentence or just the missing words.
Focus:
a It was an evening just like any other in the Chen family apartment. b Suddenly, the lights went off. It was a power cut. c Mr Chen found his torch, but it was only a small beam. d The apartment got hot and the fridge and freezer stopped working too. e Grandma’s ice-cream cake was going to melt.
Practice: a ‘Is everybody okay?’ asked Mr Chen. b Amy had a good idea to use the light from her tablet. c Ben had a good idea to eat the ice-cream cake before it melted. d Later, the power came back on. e Then the problem was how to tell Grandma that they had eaten her cake. Challenge: Answers may include these or similar: a It was an evening just like any other. b Mr and Mrs Chen were tired from work and the children were busy playing on tablets. c Suddenly, the lights went off. The apartment was completely dark. d There was only a small beam of light from the torch. e The ice-cream cake will melt if it gets warm.

Main teaching ideas 1 Listening to the poem Younger Brother (20 minutes) Learning intention: to listen to a poem and make inferences about it Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.4, Activity 1; Worksheet 1.4; Session 1.4, Audio track 03
Learning intention: to identify commas used to separate items in a list; to add commas to items in a list Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.4, Activity 2; Workbook 1.4 Description: Ask learners to look at the Language Focus box and use it to explain the use of the comma to separate items in a list. Ask learners to work in pairs to count the number of commas in the poem (14). Establish that this is a list poem and the commas separate the list of things the younger brother collects.
FT
Description: Tell learners that this poem describes what a character does. He is a collector. Explain that listeners need to listen for how many different things the character collects (14 if stones and rocks count as one). This poem will help learners enjoy simple texts, focus their listening and understand listening tips.
2 Count the commas in the poem (20 minutes; 30 minutes with Workbook)
Use the Listening tip in the Learner’s Book to discuss how to listen well. Ask learners for any other tips they may have.
For active learning, you may read the poem aloud and ask them to stand up or sit down every time they know there should be a comma in the text.
Play the audio of the poem (track 03), or read it aloud for learners, asking them to use their chosen listening technique.
Ask learners to rewrite and correct the sentences with correct punctuation – adding commas and the word and.
Talk about how many odd things this younger brother collects. They are not similar so he probably doesn’t have a special name (see the specialist collector words in the Starter activity).
Now use the Workbook activity for this session for further comma practice.
A
As a class, check the answers together.
Ask if anyone notices anything else about the poem (it is a list of things).
R
Discuss any unknown words. Use the pictures in the Learner’s Book to help with this if helpful.
D
Ask learners to read the text in pairs, pointing to the text as they do so. As they read through, they should discuss what they think this younger brother is like. Invite them to share their ideas and to explain why they think this. For example, they may say he is fun (he is interested in so many things); messy (he has broken things and half-made things); and disorganised (doesn’t tidy up) etc. Differentiation ideas: Support learners by letting them hear the poem before they read it. This will help them to feel more confident with the list of vocabulary. Use the pictures to help with this too. Challenge learners to read the poem independently and to reflect on how the listening tips helped them to focus or not.
Answers: bi I collect stones of interesting shapes, half-made models and stickers. bii I collect stickers, badges, pencils and feathers. biii I collect seeds, socks, broken saucers, batteries and glass marbles. biv I collect half-made models and torch batteries (no commas or and). Differentiation ideas: Support learners to use tiny counters or sticky notes to flag the commas in the Learner’s Book if this helps them to keep count. Repeat the active learning activity for those who need to practise identifying commas further. Challenge learners to write the whole poem as a list – see if they realise that just a list of the words (like a shopping list) does not need commas.

use commas, punctuation and vocabulary, and should write their own ideas, with purpose.
Description: Choose three learners to stand by each of the labels once placed on the floor.
Invite learners to write their sentences in some creative frames, e.g. things you would like to collect in an outline of a box; things for a summer holiday in an outline of a suitcase or bag; things you like about your family in a picture frame.
Ask a fourth learner to read Younger Brother aloud.
If possible, some of these could be reproduced for a class display. Answers: Learners’ own
When any of the three hear a word that matches their label, they should leap over it. Change learners a few times and/or read further sentences featuring those spellings. Assessment ideas: •
Ask learners to say how well they think those leaping have listened
•
Ask learners what they find most useful in helping them to remember how to listen well.

Description: Ask learners what sort of things they find a challenge. Which challenges do they enjoy and which are too difficult? What makes something too challenging and how do they find ways to keep going? When does encouragement turn into bullying? Show them the pictures in the Learner’s Book of different physical challenges and share further ideas. Tell them the next story is about two brothers and a friend who are challenging one another. You may invite learners to write a personal (and secret) challenge to work on.
Main teaching ideas 1 Listen to and read this story … (40–60 minutes) Learning intention: to listen to a story and answer questions about it; to read a story
Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.5, Activity 1; Session 1.5, Audio track 04 Description: Tell learners this story is about two African-American brothers and their friend, Gloria. The boys are called Julian and Huey and they get into all sorts of trouble. Read the following short introduction to the story, which describes how and why Julian gets into trouble: Julian says he does not like trouble, but he always seems to get into it! He doesn’t see the little spark that starts trouble. The other problem is that he has great ideas, which often lead to trouble! Talk about the use of the word spark as in to ‘to set off or begin’. Ask if learners can relate to this. Ask learners to listen to the story without stopping to answer questions. Read it aloud or play the audio (track 04). Discuss their initial impressions. Explain that they are now going to answer questions about what they hear, so they need to focus. You may wish to share the questions first. Read or play the audio again, stopping at the end of each section so that children can answer the questions.
33 Original material © Cambridge University Press 2020. This material is not final and is subject to further changes prior to publication.
We are working with Cambridge Assessment International Education towards endorsement of this title. CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY ENGLISH 2 TEACHER’S RESOURCE
Be careful with the following question in column 3: WHY do you think Huey did not sound very excited? Note that his verbal responses and excuses probably do not match his non-verbal response – Julian and Gloria probably know Huey is making excuses. Ask learners how Huey might have responded to the increasing pressure to join in (non-verbally). Role play if possible to explore verbal and non-verbal communication.
Ask learners to re-read the story, working alone or in pairs, looking for verbs ending –ing or –ed and sorting them into lists. Learners can copy and complete the chart in the Learner’s Book, or create a simple list of the verbs. Throughout, encourage learners to talk about story settings, clues to where stories are set, topic words, unknown words. You can use the Workbook activity for this session now.
FT
Finally, ask learners to read the text silently to themselves. If you have not used the questions for aural/oral work you may wish learners to write their answers to the questions in their notebooks now.
Description: Write pushing and pushed on the board and invite learners to explain the difference. Remind them that –ing represents the present (continuous) tense and –ed represents the simple past tense.
As you circulate, check learners are feeling confident about their answers.
Answers: –ing: looking; swinging; flying; sitting; parachuting; going –ed: used; checked; pushed; landed (excited is an adjective here) Differentiation ideas: Support learners by providing a set of cards with the verbs from the text; ask them to match them to the text and then sort them into lists.
R
A
Possible answers: Box 1: There is a new swing and a new pile of sand in the garden; Julian was playing with his younger brother, Huey, and their friend, Gloria. Box 2: Julian checked for trucks in the sand so he would not hurt himself when he landed; It felt like flying, then sitting in air and then parachuting. Box 3: Gloria flew from the swing/copied Julian easily; Huey wasn’t sounding excited because he was nervous/worried/scared. Box 4: He said he needed his lucky shirt and to tie up his shoe laces; The spark was calling Huey a ‘scaredy cat’; The friends might fall out/ argue; Huey might cry and run away; Huey might do the challenge and hurt himself or fly like the others, etc.
D
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by allowing them to follow the text in the Learner’s Book when they are listening. Allow them to read in pairs rather than alone and silently. Challenge learners to read silently and answer the questions in full sentences with further reasoning. Ask learners to write some more questions about the story.
2 Read the story again (10–20 minutes) Learning intention: to find and sort verbs ending in –ing and –ed; to know that –ing represents present tense and –ed past tense
Challenge learners to add a third column for other verbs and discuss how to name them (simple present: are, is, sit, look, see, hurry, can/can’t, put, come, need, tie, get, like, wants) (irregular verbs: was, got, were, said, flew, had).
Plenary idea That was the spark … (5 minutes) Description: Check learners have understood that it sounds like there is going to be some kind of trouble at the end of the text. Draw their attention to the use of the word spark again. Ask learners, one by one, to say what they think will happen next in the story, and what the trouble might be. Once completed they may leave the classroom. Assessment ideas: Ask learners to reflect on how good they are at asking and answering questions.

Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.6, Getting started; and/or additional pictures of actions that are likely to spark trouble
Explain to learners that they are now going to answer questions about what they hear, so they need to focus. You may wish to share the questions first.
Description: Ask learners about rules they have at home and rules at school. What do they already know about getting into trouble? Handle sensitively with those who tend to cause more trouble than others. Talk about and sort the pictures in the Learner’s Book.
If you have not used the questions for aural/oral work you may wish learners to write their answers to the questions in their notebooks.

Read the story or play the audio (track 05). Discuss learners’ initial impressions and, if necessary, deal with the formality of the name ‘father’ as opposed to ‘dad’.
As you circulate, check that learners are feeling confident about their answers. Possible answers: Box 1: Father is making a wonderful pudding. Box 2: Father sliced and then squeezed the lemons. Box 3: Julian poured in the sugar; Father is a messy cook because in the last part the lemon seeds flew out on the floor and in this box the cream splashed on the stove. Box 4: Learners’ own, for example: I think the pudding smelled like creamy lemon candy; Before the egg white the pudding was stiff and after the egg white is was soft and lighter than air.

Starter idea Character review (5–10 minutes) Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.7, Getting started; sticky notes; pictures or outline of Julian and Huey on the wall or board Description: Ask learners to exchange opinions about the two main characters in the story; Julian and Huey. Extend to include father too, if helpful. Encourage learners to share their thoughts.
Differentiation ideas: Support learners to use the worksheet to cut and stick rather than write sentences in full. Challenge learners to write more complex sentences for their captions using connectives.

Ask learners to write one word to describe each character on separate sticky notes, then stick these inside a drawn outline/picture of each character. Review the words and learners’ explanations for their opinions.
You can use Worksheet 1.4 for support with writing captions now. You can use the Workbook activity for this session to further explore sequencing.
Draw learners’ attention to the fact that no adjectives are used to describe the characters in the text. We must work out what sorts of characters they are from the way the author describes their actions, and from their speech and the illustrations.
Read the sentences aloud and ask learners to identify the connective in each one. Then read the sentences aloud again, leaving a gap for the connective in each. Ask learners to provide the missing connective.

Look out for learners who struggle without the adjective description or the visual support. The actions are more subtle and may need explaining to some learners. The role-play activity in the last session should have helped with this.
Description: Check learners have remembered or know the term ‘connective’ and together work through some examples. They will have met ‘and’ and ‘but’ in Stage 1.
Main teaching ideas
Ask learners to complete the Learner’s Book activity in their notebooks.
1 Retell the story by writing captions … (30–60 minutes)
Answers: because; but; if; and; so
R
Learning intention: to recall a story sequence of events using picture cues; to write captions for pictures
D
Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.7, Activity 1; Workbook 1.7; Worksheet 1.4 (cut up for the main activity or as a worksheet for learner support)
Description: Begin with a game: Find your partner! First, hand out the nine pictures and nine caption cards from the worksheet. Then ask learners to find the person with the matching caption or picture. Finally, ask another learner to organise the pictures and captions in the correct order to retell the story.
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by providing connectives on word cards so they can find and match them to each sentence. This may work well as a group activity and writing each sentence may not be so important. Challenge learners to write each sentence and then to write some further sentences about the story using the same or different connectives.
3 Plan and write a new story (30–60 minutes)
Repeat the game if necessary with different learners. Can the second group work more quickly?
Learning intention: to plan a story featuring siblings; to write a story using planning questions
Together, look at the pictures in the Learner’s Book. Ask learners to describe them. Write any useful words on the board.
Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.7, Activity 3; Worksheet 1.5; large pieces of paper if storyboarding
Ask learners to complete the Learner’s Book activity.
Description: Give learners who will benefit from a planning sheet and structured questions a copy of the worksheet.

Tell learners they are going to plan and write their own story that is similar to The Pudding Like a Night on the Sea. Read the prompt questions in the Learner’s Book together.
Each pair must say a sentence about the story and that uses a connective: e.g. I liked the part where Huey says “It’s such a big pudding. It can’t hurt to have a little more” because it shows his cheekiness.
Before writing begins, ask learners how they would like to write their story, e.g. in a notebook or as a storyboard. Provide paper if they are storyboarding.
As each pair contributes, they may leave.
As learners work, check and support their handwriting, punctuation and spelling while they plan and write each sentence.
Ask learners to:
If there is time, share examples of story outlines or ideas, encouraging peer review and reflection.
•

FT
Differentiation ideas: Support learners to use the worksheet to aid planning. Encourage some learners to work large scale with storyboarding if this helps with sequencing their ideas prior to writing their sentences. Scribe sentences where necessary.
Homework ideas
Challenge learners to add detail to their story as well as to use connectives, interesting words and actions to present the characters. Encourage illustration that adds real value to the story.

2 Work in pairs. Read the poem aloud … (20 minutes) Learning intention: to read the poem aloud in character using end punctuation as a guide.
FT
Description: Ask learners to work with a partner to talk about the words and phrases they know in English and their own language(s) that are polite. Share some ideas.
Teach in advance of the session any vocabulary you think learners may be less familiar with, e.g. mind (verb); state (noun); stuff (noun); stare (verb).
Description: Set up a read-around-the-class for this poem so each learner reads a different line – using the punctuation and/or mum’s character and mood as a guide. You can use the Worksheet questions here. Ask learners to work in pairs to practise their reading further.

Assessment ideas: If time, and if you have the equipment, ask some learners to record their readings for peer assessment or end-of-session reflections.
R
Learning intention: to listen to a poem and talk about character
Description: Ask learners to listen to the poem. Play the audio (track 06) or read the poem aloud. This activity will be good for discussing character, using topic vocabulary, noticing end punctuation marks and relating to own experience.
D
Ask learners to think about these questions as they listen:
Ask learners which sentences are commands where mum is telling her son or daughter to do something (Wake up!, Get up!, Out of bed!, Mind …, Don’t …, Look …, Put …, Close …). Talk about the questions in the Learner’s Book that invite them to think about what people in their homes say to them. In some instances this may need sensitivity. Differentiation ideas: Support learners so that they can contribute to the conversation. Displaying the text on a whiteboard for all to see will enable you to point out specifics to learners as they are discussed.
Invite peer assessment and reflect on the importance of punctuation as a guide to how we might say things. Differentiation ideas: Support learners by organising them into mixed ability pairs and/or asking some learners to read just a section of the poem together. Challenge learners to play with changing the punctuation and how this affects reading aloud, e.g. Mum is in a really good mood so how does it change the way you read the poem even though she is giving out orders?
3 Explore the language of the poem (20 minutes; 30 minutes if using the Workbook) Learning intention: to explore the language features of a poem

Use Worksheet 1.6 now for those learners who need support. Give learners time to write their poems and, if time, invite readings.
Description: Draw learners’ attention to the Language Focus box. Talk about punctuation marks at the end of a sentence. Ask learners to find an example rhyming word, command verb, full stop, question mark and exclamation mark before they tackle the questions alone or in pairs. Ask learners to complete the questions in their notebooks.
Challenge learners to create a longer poem and peer-assess their work on completion.
Plenary idea Sharing our poems (5 minutes) Resources: learners’ poems Description: Invite learners to share their short poems in character. Have some fun with guessing what the character is like – although be mindful of respect. Invite peer assessment of each poem and performance.

Answers: a bed/head; late/state; please/keys; please/trees; said/bed b wake (up); get (up); get (out of bed); mind …; don’t …; look …; put …; close … c full stops: 9; question marks: 2; exclamation marks: 8 d I won’t tell you again. It’s funny because she does tell the child again.
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by providing the worksheet. Some learners may only manage four or five sentences.
Assessment ideas: Ask learners to check their handwriting and punctuation. Explain to learners that people often use exclamation marks too much and that spoils their effect. Ask them: How will you remember when to use them and use them well?
Homework ideas
Challenge learners to notice other punctuation, e.g. ellipsis … meaning the sentence is not really finished.

Learning intention: to write a short poem in the style of The Things Mums Say using its language features Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.8, Activity 4; Worksheet 1.6
D
Description: Keep in mind that this activity is good for planning, reviewing language features, writing and drafting.
Talk about the things learners might say to someone in their family: a younger or older sibling, a grandparent. Talk about how we change what we say and the way we say it to fit with the person and how well we know them. Ask learners to decide on a character for their short poem and then to write at least five things that person would say. Encourage them to use a good range of the language features identified in The Things Mums Say.

3 Draw and write what you think Mum offers Daisy next (15–20 minutes) Learning intention: to use a story pattern to predict what happens next Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.9, Activity 3; paper for a six-page zig-zag book Description: Tell learners to work in pairs or alone to think about what they think Daisy’s mum offers Daisy next. The activity will be good for noting story pattern, understanding a cumulative story structure, using imagination and creative ideas and enjoying humour. When they are ready, ask them to create a zig-zag book (a long strip of paper that can be folder into six sections). Ask learners to draw and write a caption for each thing Daisy’s mum offers in the story: a pudding, a clock, a bath with a x through it, 10 puddings, a bike. On the blank pages they should add their own ideas. They may turn the book over and use the other side of the pages too if they have lots of ideas. Ask learners at the end to share their completed books and ideas, explaining why they chose them, and to create a class display. Differentiation ideas: Support learners who may benefit from sharing their initial ideas with a partner or to just draw their ideas. They may need subsequent help to write their captions. Challenge learners to continue with ever-increasing offers from Mum on the reverse pages of the book. Ask them to write a sentence rather than just a caption (they will have to write quite small).

This activity will be good for role play, expression, intonation, understanding humour and appreciating a cumulative story structure. Draw their attention to the Language Focus box and discuss the examples. Find examples in the text. Together identify the text sections for each character: (Both: Box 1; Mum: Boxes 2, 4, 6, 8; Daisy: Boxes 3, 5, 7, 9.) Give learners about 5–10 minutes to practise reading the text in pairs. Challenge some learners to think about props, but expect all learners to read with expression. You can use the differentiation worksheets here. Invite selected learners to share their performance. Encourage peer review of the reading and the performances. You can use the Workbook activities for this session now to provide further practice in punctuation for speech. Differentiation ideas: Support learners by creating and providing prompt cards of Mum’s words and Daisy’s words.
Plenary idea Punctuate us! (10–15 minutes) Resources: speech sentences cut up into separate word cards; cards with: speech marks, commas, full stops Description: and out the word cards for a speech sentence from the story, e.g. Eat your peas said Mum (five learners are needed for this sentence). Learners must organise themselves into the correct order in a line. Ask the others what this sentence needs. Invite them to choose one of the punctuation cards and then to join the line-up of learners, standing in the correct place.

How to overcome
You can’t repeat sentences in your writing/ you have to always write new sentences.
Ask learners to find examples in their own writing of repeated structures.
Show learners how it can be funny if a character repeats their words, how a story can grow if a character repeats and adds to their words and how it can help the reader to make predictions about the story or the character.
Or do they know any stories that repeat structures (often in Traditional Tales which they will meet in U4).

“You really wnt me to eat my peas, don’t you?” said Daisy.
I’ll eat my peas if you eat your brussels sprouts,” said Daisy.
D
Mum looked down at her own plate and her bottom lip began to tremble.
“But I don’t like brussels sprouts,” said Mum. “Exactly!” said Daisy. “You don’t like brussels sprouts and I DON’T LIKE PEAS!” “But we both like dessert!” Ending 2
“You really want me to eat my peas, don’t you?” said Daisy. “Okay…” said Daisy. “I’ll eat some of the peas just for you!” And she did!
Together read the sentences in the Learner’s Book. Clarify any unknown vocabulary. Ask learners to work in pairs to decide whether they agree or disagree with the statements and then to explain why. If they agree, they should find an example from the text. You may wish learners to work in pairs or groups on large pieces of paper for this activity, to write in their notebooks or to use Worksheet 1.9 for guidance. Invite learners to share their ideas. Answers: All statements are true. Learners will find a variety of examples in the text for discussion.

Differentiation ideas: Support learners by asking them to work in mixed-ability groups. Some groups may need some adult helpers to help them identify examples in the text. Challenge learners to think of other books they have read and enjoyed that have been funny or have had a surprise ending.
2 Write a connective … (10–15 minutes; 20–30 minutes if using Workbook) Learning intention: to revise reading and writing sentences using connectives
Description: Ask learners to read each sentence in the activity and write a connective to fill the gap.
Use the Workbook activity here for further practice of using connectives. Continue to support learners as they work on the activity.
Differentiation ideas: Support learners in planning by providing Worksheet 1.10. Challenge learners to elaborate their ideas within their plan, for example by adding character and setting detail.
4 Write your story (30 minutes) Learning intention: to write a story using own ideas Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.11, Activity 4 Description: Ask learners to write their own version of the story, using their plans. As you walk around the class, talk to different learners about their ideas and their writing, adding support where necessary. The room should be industrious and fairly quiet. Any talk should be writing focused. Differentiation ideas: Support learners by modelling how to use the planning sheet, or provide a template of boxes for them to write into. Reduce the number of promises made for those learners whose speed of writing may slow them down.

Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.11, Activity 2; Workbook Session 1.11
Provide Worksheet 1.10 here for learners who may benefit from writing ideas in a template.
R
Differentiation ideas: Support learners by allowing them to write only the connective as their answer. Or you may provide the sentences as sentence strips and provide the connectives as word cards for them to select from, before they write the sentences. Challenge learners to begin work in the Workbook or write some similar challenges for a partner to complete in class.

3 Plan to write your own funny family story (30 minutes)
Learning intention: to plan a funny family story Resources: Learner’s Book, Session 1.11, Activity 3, Worksheet 1.10, large piece of paper and felt tip pens Description: Tell learners they are going to plan their own story based on Eat Your Peas and the language features they identified in Activity 1. This will allow them to draw on own experience, work in rough or write notes and discuss ideas. Together read through the planning question prompts that learners should use to plan. Ask learners to work on planning their story independently, providing support where needed.
Challenge learners to add detail to their stories, and to cross check with the language features listed to ensure they are using them all, and appropriately.
Plenary idea Sharing ideas (5 minutes) Description: Ask learners in each group to share their stories or part of their stories before they leave the classroom. Ask questions: Who has included themselves in their story? Who has included their mum? Dad? Aunt? Brother?, etc. What do you or your character not want to do? Ask learners how they feel about the planning templates? Did these help them with thinking about their story content? How? Did their plan stay the same or did it change as they wrote?

PROJECT GUIDANCE The Unit 1 projects build on the reading, writing and understanding learners have developed throughout the unit. Since they have just read several fictional texts, the project options here extend the themes further and provide opportunities for the learners to choose to work in a group, as a pair or alone. It may be that you prefer to allocate a project to the class.
Assessing the project The most valuable assessment of the projects will be as follows. Group and Pair projects: observations of the learners as they work together to plan and create the outcome. Discussions you have with them will be valuable. The final group or pair outcome will be important too: did they achieve what they set out to achieve?
FT
Group project: Learners plan a ‘Show and Tell’ week with their group. Encourage them to ensure they have a good mix of ideas to present to the class.
the item, but if possible try to anticipate needs, e.g. large pieces of paper for a poster.
Pair project: Learners design and make a board game based on one of the stories or poems in this unit. Solo project: Learners make a zig-zag book about their family and write a short list for each member of the family about they say or do.
Solo projects: If the solo project is being completed at home ensure that the learner is fully engaged and whilst working with parents, is not letting parents do all the work.
Setting up the project
In all cases outcomes should be shared, celebrated, presented or displayed and discussed.

In all cases learners should self and peer assess – both giving and receiving feedback.
A
•
Resources will depend on which project learners choose and how they want to create the item, but if possible try to anticipate needs, e.g. large pieces of paper for a poster. The projects are designed to encourage creativity and critical thinking. Group projects are more easily managed in class, while Pair and Solo projects may be suitable for homework if shared around Sessions 1.11 and 1.12. If you allow learners to choose, ensure that over the course of the year they have a good mix of project experiences in terms of the three working options. In any case they will be most useful if learners are given time to both plan and create the project outcome. Allow one week for learners to work on their project in their own time or in pockets of time. Resources will depend on which project learners choose and how they want to create

As you assess each learner’s contributions ask yourself these questions. •
•
• • •
• • •
Did the learner engage with the project independently, or did they need support? If so, what kind of support did they need? Did the learner have sufficient understanding of the topic to tackle their chosen project with knowledge and skills? Did the learner demonstrate know how to plan and list resources needed? Did the learner use appropriate vocabulary? Did the learner work co-operatively as part of a group to plan and prepare the project – or work well alone if working on the solo project? Did the learner contribute usefully and respectfully to group discussions? Did the learner create a successful outcome? Did the learner show evidence of having learned from the project process?
