Teaching and Learning Assessment (How do we Teaching and learning content / Skills / Key Approaches (How?) know?) concepts / Language: Activities / Classroom organisation including differentiation Resources (With what?) Introducing weight: Begin with asking students to define what weight is and get them asking questions as to how weight is used. Students will be introduced to working with kg and g as the unit of measurement and how to convert from grams to kg to decimal writing, the students will complete conversions of measurement on the IWB. They will use the correct language when describing the weight of different objects. E.g heavier than, same as and lighter than Studnets will then complete a worksheet with the different weight measurements on it. Talk and Discussion: listening, questioning, brainstorming, think, pair, share Observations which will focus on the children’s engagement with the key ideas listed above. Interactive White board Markers Worksheets on ‘weight’ Collaborative/Co-operative Learning: group work Questioning which will promote mathematical activities Active Learning: hands on experience Key questions will encourage children to mathematize Using local environment: use of pupil environment and lived experience – becoming involved in the experiment of weighing the food items Teacher observation of the students completing their worksheet and being engaged in the lesson. Skills: observing, predicting, investigating and experimenting, estimating and measuring, recording and communicating Language: heavier than, lighter than, same as Key concepts: Problem Solving through applying logic and rationality to given situations Exploring estimation as part of weight: The teacher will introduce a 1kg bag as a control for the students. The students will then estimate the weight of other food items by using the terms ‘heavier than 1kg, the same as 1kg and lighter than 1kg’. The students will then record their estimations. Talk and Discussion: listening, questioning, brainstorming, think, pair, share – estimating Interactive White Board Markers Estimation/Recording sheets Teacher observation of language used to describe different items. Weighing Scales The students will then be asked to come up and measure the foods under the visualiser. They will record the actual weight of each food item beside their estimations. Using the language associated with weight, students will be asked to create sentences describing the weight of one item against another. Food items such as oranges, pasta, sugar, tea, apples, chocolate the weight of different food items Collaborative/Co-operative Learning: group work – working together when estimating the weight of different food items. Skills: observing, predicting, investigating, analysing, recording and communicating, estimating Language: heavier than, lighter than and the same as Using number in weight: The teacher will discuss how to read the scales correctly and how to add measurements correctly, ensuring them to keep the same units together The teacher will show examples of adding the different methods of measurement and the students will help complete the equations The students will complete a worksheet on the addition of the different measurements of weight The students will explain the usage of weight in everyday life. The teacher will model the first question of subtraction for the class and explain step by step that subtraction in weight is Talk and discussion: listening, questioning and think, pair, share, estimating and measuring, analysing Active Learning: hands on experience Use of local environment: use of pupil environment and lived experience Collaborative/Co-operative learning: groupwork Teacher designated tasks: the children will complete exercises where they will be adding and subtracting different measurements for one another. The students will complete a series of revision questions which will cover what was learned during the week Interactive White Board Markers Worksheet on Addition and Subtraction Maths Textbook the same as any other subtraction sums and you keep the same units under one another The students will then complete a worksheet on subtraction The teacher will ensure that the students understand how to convert to decimals and will then introduce them to multiplication and division in weight The teacher will explain that when multiplying and dividing weight, you first need to convert the measurement to decimal form and then it is like any other multiplication or division question. The teacher will explain the importance of the decimal point The students will then practice this from exercises in their textbook Skills through content: measuring and describing Bachelor of Education, Year 2 / Professional Master of Education (Primary Education), Year 1 Progressional Scheme Professional Placement, Primary Education, DCU Institute of Education Class level/s: 4th Class Strands: Life, society, work and culture in the past Time period: 3 weeks No. of Lessons: 4 Length of lessons: 1 hour Strand units / Elements: Life in Norman Ireland Number of lessons: 4 Length of lessons: 60 minutes Subject area: History Theme / Enquiry question / Key idea: What have the Normans ever done for us?

Linkage and integration (optional for BEd2 / PMEP1 students): Integration: Children create a Norman Castle based of images of them (Visual Arts), Children can create a comic strip/storyboard based on the timeline of the story. Linkage: mapping and locating skills (Geography), literacy skills for reading the stories (Literacy) Broad learning outcomes: To investigate Norman life through historical enquiry To investigate the impact the Norman invasion had on life in Ireland To promote understanding of the Normans and the appreciation of their legacy To provide opportunities for children to communicate their historical understanding and evaluate their learning Children’s previous related learning: Progressional sequence (What?) Teaching and learning content / Skills / Key concepts / Language: Enquiry Question: Who were the Normans and why did they come to Ireland? Content: Know who the Normans were Teaching and Learning Approaches (How?) Activities / Classroom organisation including differentiation Children locate where the Normans originally came from on a map. (Whole Class) Assessment (How do we know?) Teacher Observation Children’s understanding of the timeline of events will be evaluated by the Resources (With what?) Map of Europe Whiteboards and markers Images of the Bayeux Tapestry Be able to locate where they came from on a map Know the origin story of Dermot McMorrow inviting over the Normans Describe what the painting of Aoife and Strongbows wedding can tell of us of the time period Skills: Mapping and locating skills Using evidence Developing Enquiry Questions Children create their own concept map based on the use of the Bayeux Tapestry (Groupwork) Students respond to the story stimulus of Dermot McMorrow and the painting of Aoife and Strongbow’s wedding and create their own comic strip/storyboard based on the timeline of the story. (Whole Class and Group Work) Students in engage in a card sort game for why the Norman invasion was successful (Group Work) comic strip and card sort game. Children evaluate their questions and consider to what extent they were able to answer them. Story of Dermot McMorrow Image of the painting of Aoife and Strongbow’s wedding Card sort game on why the Norman invasion was successful Examples of a comic strip/storyboard Langauge: Origin story, Normandy, High King Enquiry Question: What was a Norman Castle like? Content: Describe the distinctive features of Norman castles and what they were used for Recognise the reasoning for the locations of different castles Skills: Using evidence Interpreting and analysing sources Historical empathy Language: Using their enquiry questions, children will examine the features of Norman castles, maintained and organised through differentiated sources (different images of castles) and share their findings (Group Work and Whole Class) Drawing on their finding students will discuss using a map where they would build their castle and use reasoning. (Group Work and Whole Class) Students will create their own Norman Castle based on the features and images they have discussed throughout the lesson (Whole Class and Group Work) Teacher Observation Peer assessment through discussion Individual assessment based on their input in the creation of their castle Images of Norman castles to annotate Maps of locality Paint Markers Newspapers Construction paper Cellotape Felt/Fabric Cardboard Motte and bailey, defence, chapel, civilisation, castles Enquiry Question: What was life like in Norman Ireland?
