Resource tabs

1. Enhanced provision: (Nursery, Reception, Y1 and Y2) A selection of activities that continue children's learning, linked to the theme of the project. 
   
2. Story pack/Book study/Novel study A recommended text that is linked to the theme of the project with additional age-appropriate resources. These are more structured for Reception with lesson and enhanced provision ideas - please see the teacher guidance within the top box for support on how to use these. For Foundation Phase and KS2, there is a book/novel organiser that contains an overview, key vocabulary and details about the author and a comprehension question booklet with a mark-scheme.
   
3. Book lists: A list of age-appropriate books, linked to the theme of the project. Click on the blue store link to view on Waterstones or Amazon websites. Use the print button to create a PDF that can be emailed/printed off as required.
   
4. Practical resources: A list of all suggested practical resources needed for each lesson in the project, organised by stage. Use the print button to create a PDF that can be emailed/printed off as required.
   
5. Resources:  All the resources from the lessons and other useful documents to support teaching and learning can be found in this tab, organised by generic first, then stage. The generic section includes book covers, Did you know? (Early years), knowledge organisers (Y1-Y6), display banners, home learning ideas, plus others depending on the project type.
   
6. Lesson builder: Teachers can add their own lessons to projects using the create lesson button. Choose the AoLE, year group and whether to view all WMS or just gaps in coverage, using the filters. Choose the  arrow next to the required statement and click in the small check box to select the relevant skill/s. Click the create lesson button to add the lesson. The lesson can be edited by clicking the pencil icon. This opens a modal, where the lesson title, duration, focus and description can be edited. It is also possible to add further objectives to the lesson by clicking the tab and selecting add objective. The lesson can be deleted by clicking the small cross, next to the pencil icon. Additional lessons can then be added by repeating this process and moved around into the correct sequence by using the four-way arrow on the far left of the lesson. 
   

Note: Once lessons have been added to the lesson builder, a new tab called School lessons will appear. The lessons in this tab operate in the same way as the main lessons in the project. If the lesson/s are deleted from the lesson builder, this extra tab will automatically be removed.
