I am a homeschooling mum of a 7 year old child with Asperger’s (and a range of other SEN), as well as a former secondary school/SEN teacher. Gaming is a particular interest of my child, as well as a great many other children, so I figured it would be good to use the topic as a motivational tool to support further learning. It has gone down well with him, so I figured that perhaps others may benefit from it too! I am only just getting started with selling my resources so I would be very grateful for any feedback.

Transport Topic (specifically trains and bridges). Key Stage 1 (Year 1/2) planning and resources. Planning and resources for 10 lessons. To cover foundation subjects (I used this to cover one half term): History, Geography, Science, Art/Design Technology.

This is a fantastic and engaging topic for able year 1 and 2 pupils. I have included all the plans for geography, history, art, DT and Literacy with differentiated activities for each lesson. My class thoroughly enjoyed this unit . I have worked hard to make the topic as fun and cross curricular as possible. It covers the Fire of London and the Gunpowder Plot, culminating in their own newspaper front page with their art work on it. I am passionate about the children being excited and engaged in their learning and this is definitely a topic that lends itself to this. With Fire of London and Fire Station role play opportunities. As well as the chance to get the local fire brigade into school to make the learning come alive. The planning is very clear and easy to follow with differentiation for each lesson.

I have designed this music topic pack with the intention of covering various aspects of music education, along with the ability to include this within an integrated curricular planner. This topic brings ICT in throughout as well as easily lending itself to the inclusion of various other curricular areas, such as language, social studies, science, design & technology, ICT, drama, P.E. and art. This pack would be particularly beneficial if used in conjunction with a topic on the weather/seasons/nature. Elements could also be linked in well to a topic on Europe. Although some of the lessons may appear to be more ICT based than music, the aim is that the children expand their experience in all areas of music while using new technology. Some of the lessons are more traditionally musically based than others, but each one will provide a beneficial learning experience for the children. They are going to be gaining experience in a range of skills and abilities, such as playing instruments, composing, listening and discussing, working collaboratively, using music as an inspiration for other areas, being able to identify techniques used in music to portray different moods and images.
