Escape From Pompeii

Welcome to our NEWLY UPDATED six-week fully resourced English planning based on Christina Balit’s ‘Escape From Pompeii’.  Watch your class engage with the story as they follow a Roman boy’s experience of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. 


Our 30 x 1 hour fully resourced English plans are written for Years 3 and 4 (ages 7-9).    During this unit, the children have three extended writing tasks linked to the story:

 •Narrative and Free Verse Poetry 

•Recount Writing 

•Narrative Writing

 In addition, many grammar aspects are explicitly covered: expanded noun phrases; pronouns for clarity, cohesion and to avoid repetition; commas after fronted adverbials, conjunctions, organising a paragraph around a theme and punctuating direct speech.  Our fully resourced English planning has been written with teachers’ time in mind! All the resources you need- words banks, scaffolded activities, example texts , whiteboard slides and posters for your Working Wall- are included, ready for you to print out. Our lessons include bespoke teaching videos so you don’t need to spend hours creating or finding your own quality resources: we have done it all for you!
