This Endangered Species cross curricular topic planner details the curricular outcomes (ACfE) being targeted as well as lesson ideas and suggestions for each relevant curricular area. This planner is aimed at 2nd Level/KS2 pupils. It also links to the separate topic of the Water Cycle (also available via my shop) and ties the two in together. There are accompanying worksheets on for sale separately to go alongside both topics also. These will all be on sale soon as a bundle. However, both topics would be appropriate as stand alone if desired.

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.

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.

10 Fantastic Powerpoint Mental Starters to promote Cross Curricular Numeracy. This set looks at Numeracy in PE. Each of the 10 powerpoints has 20 questions, with the answer following each question, so these can be used not only as starter activities, but at any point in the lesson. They could be used in a mathematics lesson to develop numeracy skills using topics in PE as a backdrop, or alternatively in a PE theory lesson so focus on the numerical elements of some PE topics. The 10 powerpoints are: 2012 Olympic Medal Bar Chart This looks at a “triple bar chart” showing the number of gold, silver and bronze medals won by 6 countries in the 2012 Olympic games. There are 20 questions related to this bar chart. Average Speed This uses given distances and times for races to calculate the average speed, in metres per second. Body Mass Index This gives the BMI formula and students are required, with the aid of a calculator, to calculate BMI values from given data, and determine which weight category this relates to. Cardiac Output With the aid of a calculator, students are asked to find the missing values in the Cardiac Output equation given. Heart Rate Graphs 20 questions for students to answer using the heart rate against time graphs given. Marathon Fractions and Percentages From the figures for each marathon race, students are asked to give the fractions and percentages asked in the questions. Snooker Angles The animated path of a ball on a snooker table is shown, and students are then asked to calculate angles in straight lines from the given angles. Sports Equipment Purchases In each question, a different sports item, together with the cost per item is given, and students are asked to calculate the total cost for purchasing the given number of items. Sports Pictograms 10 questions each for two different pictograms are given - 20 questions in total. Swimming Data A table of swimming data is given, and questions are asked using the data in this table.

These activities are designed for use as a starter or a plenary activity in a range of curriculum areas. They also have the potential to be used as an activity during a registration/tutorial period. For maximum effect they should be used on an interactive board or large screen display. There are three slides relating to a number of topics. The first slide does not give the pupils the words they are searching for, they will use prior knowledge of a topic. The second slide gives the list of words to find and the third slide gives the “answers”. There are 20 activities in total and the whole presentation contains 63 slides.

I made a booklet to help the children plan a trip to the beach but it can be changed to fit other trips. The children need to collect data about things that the class could do on the trip and record it in a tally chart and block graph.
