The newly available Transition Year English resource is a comprehensive 200-page PDF booklet designed to make teaching the curriculum engaging and seamless. It covers various modules, including short stories, poetry, drama, film studies, blogging, and sports journalism. The resource also includes a separate study guide for “The Playboy of the Western World,” which is part of the comparative module.
The comparative module features the novella “Foster” and suggests screening the Irish language film “An Cailín Ciúin” based on the novella. The booklet provides a one-page document for students with essential class information and material requirements.
The resource is designed to be organized week by week using poly pocket documents in a folder. It contains clear instructions on what to print and how many copies to make, with online access to additional resources and YouTube videos.
Apart from the core content, the booklet suggests “Down Day material,” like films and documentaries for more relaxed teaching days. Throughout the year, there are activities for students to design posters related to the content, creating a soothing atmosphere with projected fireplaces and relaxing music. Additionally, there is a five-page handout for students to reflect on their work experience. Overall, this resource aims to provide engaging and diverse material for Transition Year English.

A worksheet to complete to help learn all of the reactions of transition metal complexes in A-level Chemistry Edexcel Topic 15.2.
Can be used in lesson to make notes or as a test.
Best used on A3.
complete with a set of model answers.
A game I made for my small class of learners with autism. Suitable for any small group introduction - e.g. intervention group, speech and language, attention and listening. Learners throw a dice and move around the board. When they land on a question, they answer the question. I like to ask another member of the group a question relating to the answer, to encourage learners to pay attention to each other's answers - my children tend to have very little interest in each other!
Supports social skills, attention and listening, turn taking.
Used for specialist autism group but appropriate for any mainstream KS1 / KS2 group or older SEN group.
