David Matthew Baker's Primary Shop

Average Rating4.34
(based on 59 reviews)

I'm currently training as a Primary Teacher so making a wide range of resources using a variety of programmes including ActivInspire and Smart Notebook. My shop also has some of my past resources that I made during my time as a Special Needs Support Assistant. I am also a Cub Scout Leader and have provided some of the resources I have made for this role where I feel that may be of use to others.

Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points

Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points

(0)
A set of pages designed to be printed out at A4 and put up around a room. Contains Cardinal Points (N, E, S, W) down to Secondary Intercardinal Points (NNE, ENE, etc...) Can then be used to help students know which way to run when playing the North East South West game (where they have to run to the right place) and similar games. Also includes the bearings to allow a bit of variation. Was originally produced for use in our Scout Hut with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

A few sheets to make up a TEACCH Tools activity where special needs students (autism) have to match the tool to its name.

Fire Brigade Themed Assembly

(0)
An assembly constructed for a visit by our local Fire Brigade. It contains the song 'The Fire Brigade' by DonnaJMinto with lyrics and related photos. It also has an edited version of 'When I needed a neighbour' with fire brigade related lyrics (written by me) again with lyrics and photos. There is a single shot in the middle for when the fire brigade visit their talk to the entire school. We are a special school for autisitic students aged 3 to 19 years old.

Beaver and Cub Passport (As an example)

(0)
I'm uploading this as an example of how we have encouraged young people to participate in a range of activities. It may be possible for you to edit it to make it suitable for your setting. The young people each got a passport and then had a number of activities that they could choose to visit - each activity had a stamp that they could then have added to their passport after the completed the activity. It was a good way of giving the young people a choice but still having an incentive in place to encourage them to complete all the activities.
Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)

(1)
A set of A4 pages that I printed out and laminated with Road Sign borders (feel free to edit it to use this part of the card) to give the meanings of various UK road signs. The Cubs then walked around the local area taking photos of road signs with the correct page of the booklet shown in the photo. We decided this was a bit more fun than sitting in the hut identifying signs. Hopefully it might come in useful to some other people.

Birthdays List and Class Door Sign

(0)
A Birthdays List and Class Door Sign that I made for use in our Special Need's School. The basic template I made may save you making one from scratch. If I find any other versions that I&'ve designed I&';ll edit this post and add them to it.
Staged Swimming Requirements
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Staged Swimming Requirements

(0)
This is a set of sheets (the set I used, I laminated) that you can use to record the completion of a staged set of swimming activities. These are based upon the Scout Staged Swimming Badges but our PE teacher also decided they were useful as he felt they formed a nice progression that was suitable for our Special Needs students. The sheets have the room to write on a students name and then space to tick off each activity as they complete it. (You'll need a permanent marker to write on a laminated sheet.)
Spiders Web Team Building Activity

Spiders Web Team Building Activity

(0)
A sheet showing how we scored a Spiders Web Team Building Activity on the County Cub Competition. It includes a picture I drew (on the computer) of a Spiders Web. They are fairly easy to set up with some rope and knots. To score highly teams have to work effectively together.
International Links / Contact Prompt Sheet
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

International Links / Contact Prompt Sheet

(0)
A prompt sheet that I originally created to help prompt my Cubs / Scouts about things they could talk to people from overseas about during the International Scouting event JOTA / JOTI. The sheet includes a mind map with lots of different pointers towards things that might be different in the other country to what life is like here at home. I hope it might come in useful to someone. Feel free to edit it as needed.
Behaviour Levels (Raise Responsibility System)

Behaviour Levels (Raise Responsibility System)

(0)
A poster I made for the Cubs to try and encourage them to think about how they are acting - the idea being that this would help them to control their own behaviour. The poster is based on Marvin Marshall's Raise Responsibility System.

Contour Challenge (Map Skills)

(2)
This set of files contains the contours needed to construct a 3D model of Ingleborough. You can either print out a few copies of the image and stick it on card and cut the layers out or if you are lucky enough to have access to a Denford Laser Cutter you can use the contained MCM files (see the word document). The Publisher document contains a map to help with the assembly of the model and 3 pictures with the question which of them matches the given contours. This resource was originally made for a Cub Scout Competition.

Advent Assembly

Another of the assemblies I've made (for one of the two teachers I help with assemblies). Our local vicar came to give us a talk on advent so it just has a couple of pictures in the centre. One advent related and a picture of the Christingle to help us prep. our Autistic students. This has the lyrics for Little Donkey (abridged version) and See him lying on a bed of straw complete with appropriate imagery.

Assembly with North East Places Quiz (Activote)

(0)
An Activote / ActivExpression quiz that asks the audience to work together as teams to identify a number of places from around the North East. Also contains the lyrics to Morning has Broken (complete with matching pictures). You will need ActivOffice to use handsets to vote on the answers (anyone however could use it with an old fashioned show of hands).
Images of Tools (to use to make resources)

Images of Tools (to use to make resources)

(0)
Here are a lot of scans of the drawings on our tool poster set that we display in our Design and Technology room. I was scanning them all in to make in to resources but decided there might be some people who'd find the images themselves useful. All of these images were hand drawn a long while ago. I&'m happy for people to use them as they wish but if you make resources with them please be as so kind as to upload them here. Thank you.

A just over 3 minutes looping PowerPoint showing some of the work the Children's Society does. I made this to display before our Christingle Service but it could be used separately.
