I have worked with children for over 40 years. I specialised in Computer Science, SEN and Speech and Language. In 2005 I achieved joint first in the Becta ICT practice awards. I taught Computing to years 1-6 for seven years. I created the Advanced  Colourful Semantic resources to help the children in my groups understand grammar and sentence formation. I wanted a scheme I could introduce in Reception Class then use as they progressed through school individually, in groups or full class.

Mental Health Awareness: Overwhelmed- Social Story, Poem & Workbook

(0)
I created this Social story, Poem & Workbook about a boy who is struggling with school to help the many children who are finding life difficult at the moment. It could be used in one to one, group or whole class situations. It includes a short open ended text, a poem, discussion cards and a workbook. This workbook is an irrefutable, supportive tool for children who are finding every day life challenging. It could be used with children who have missed school and support with transition due to covid, or children who are on the Autistic Spectrum or struggling with communication/Speech and Language, to talk through how they feel. It is an essential resource for educators packed with creative ideas and resources for busy teachers. It has easy to read content and a vast array of activities that support in teaching young people to identify and understand their feelings and sense of self. It supports discussion and empathy from different perspectives on how to live with difference, communicate well and develop a sense that they are part of a community. It is an inspirational approach to education, an incredibly useful tool in the classroom and for life. Here is another of my mental health resources https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/colour-monster-resource-pack-12408668

This is a resource I made for use in Speech and Language sessions. It has printable cards of Dolly and Teddy which will help to introduce six action verbs: sleep, walk, sit, wave, read and eat. There is also a printable board game which can be used to make bespoke activities… The cards can be printed and laminated to use as flashcards or make a double set for matching games. There are examples of simple sentences using my ‘Colourful Speech’ format. Creating bespoke resources, targeted at an individual child or group of children, encourages progress.

It helped her to understand that, sometimes people can misunderstand what has happened. It helped her to understand that, If we use the wrong body language, what we are thinking may not be clear. It helped her to understand that, when you have had time to think, you can chose a better way to explain.
