SEN Y6 Science- could be used in Ks3 and Ks1/2 also. I used this during the introductory lesson about the heart and found the combination of firstly labelling togather and then independently filling in the gaps worked really well.

Easily adaptable for your classes. Very important part of the SEN classroom. Enjoy :)

Every class should know right from the start what you expect from them (Max 3/4) and you need to know what they expect from you. I run this activity with every new group, SEN or not and ensure it is displyed immediately at the front of the class to be constantly referred back to . Enjoy :)

I used these worksheets with my small SEN BESD group when introducing Ancient Greece. I used a carousel activity for them to gather facts and images for their fact file- which was immediately displayed and we watched a clip about ancient greek soliders and they added the labels (which are still on the word file) and completed the gap/extension tasks. More to come, need to find all the files!

Usually at the end of term once I have marked an extended piece of work/assessment, I use this to help students reflect on their work and work out which area they need to focus on to improve next term. The students will need lots of assistance and sampling the first time you show them this but once they’ve got it, they enjoy picking out specific targets from the list and then on the first lesson back, I get them to write their target at the stop of the page and keep checking their work against it. Also easy to peer assess future work as students can focus on their peer’s specific target and give richer feedback. Please review if you download! Thanks :)

I used this during an introductory lesson about the heart- I used this after we had discussed and completed the parts and function worksheet and watched a short clip demonstrating how the heart moves. This took around 10-15mins with my small SEN group and they enjoy the fast pace and choosing which activities to do to speed up their hearts. Enjoy.

I created these slips to encourage a very tricky mixed ability group to reflect upon their classroom behaviour and work. I printed on coloured card and handed them out at the end of term. I then sent a text out to all parents telling them to ask for the slip and to email me if they didn’t receive one. The students appreciated the bespoke feedback and were interested to read each other’s and I could use them to refer back to in future lessons to help them reflect upon their learning.

I used this as a two part video lesson that lead to an exam contrasting the impacts. This video really aided engagement with the wider oil and geopolitical issues of the energy module. The students really enjoyed the documentary as it is very engaging and I regularly targeted questions and checked worked and then allowed them to have the sheet with them during the next lesson’s exam q. Print the worksheet onto coloured paper. Thanks.

Simple table used to confirm student understanding of weathering & erosion. Full of a variety of SPaG errors for students to find and correct. Print on coloured paper for ND students.

I ALWAYS complete this with a new primary SEN class and they then place their finished sheets on their own part of a noticeboard that is just theirs. They enjoy sharing their basic details and it is very useful for staff as a way in to a positive relationship- which we all know is the key to behaviour management.

I created this resource for a KS5 Functional Skills maths lesson, but it could easily be used for various ages/abilities. I started by handing each student a real foreign note and getting them to guess where the note was from and then we went round the room and shared our notes and use the map on the worksheet to locate our currency. They really enjoyed this exercise and were well engaged. Then we went through each task with lots of reflection and discussion surrounding my adventures in those places, which again, helped them to stay on task and complete the calculations. They all reflected that this lesson helped to prepare them, if they ever travelled abroad and needed to know how much British currency they had. Please review if you download! Enjoy!

I used this sheet in collaboration with a video demostrating the brains ability to process information and what each part of the brain does. They really enjoyed videos of brain surgery showing different areas being highlighted during the patient talking etc. Enjoy :)

After some hugely positive sessions with young people aged 16-22, I’ve put together some ideas to support those with younger cohorts. These assemblies can be delivered as a one-off introduction to the brain and concepts such as growth-mindset, neuroplasticity & mindfulness, or part of a neuro-centered series. This generation of young people is in desperate need of mental health support, with only waiting lists currently on offer. Facilitating a culture of mental wellness through teaching students (and your staff!) about the brain, is a proactive and progressive alternative to referring your students for outside support. All sessions are bespoke and tailored to your community values and ethos, send over an email if you’d like to discuss how they support your personal development and wider school dvelopment plans. neuralescentcommunity@gmail.com neuralescentcommunity.uk

Visually engaging gap-fill worksheet for those with alternative needs.

Quick and inclusive mini-quiz about the brain. SPaG errors throughout for students to correct.

I use this at least once a term with GCSE students to get them to really think deeply about why they are missing marks on exam Qs.

Created for zooming with students who are ND. Could be used in school or independently with anyone isolating as a general introduction to Japan. Variety of engaging tasks and use of the ICUN redlist site.

Title- How does energy consumption affect the landscape? I had already completed the BP oil spill and traditional coal extraction when we completed this lesson. It begins with a GP activity to improve a previous exam Q and builds the Virginia case study through a short clip that I show twice and ends with a contrasting 6 marker. AFL and discussion opportunities throughout. Differentiated and SEN friendly. Thanks, please review if you download :)

Short and engaging quick activity, for Human Evolution topics. Full of spelling errors and space for students to correct.

Lots of great videos on youtube to match with this. KS3 level understanding of hotspots, focusing on Hawaii.
