A mood diary / ‘Zones across my day’ worksheet linked to ‘Zones of Regulation’ To encourage the child to digest both positive and negative aspects of his day, celebrating the positives, and for staff to become aware of aspects that may be triggering for him to inform future planning. This will need to be modelled at first as child will find self-reflection hard- the staff working with the child could complete one for themselves alongside the child so that they learn how to reflect on the day, starting with just adding marks on the chart, building up slowly to discussing events of the day. If child struggles to reflect across the full day, complete this after break and lunch to make it more accessible

Made for my Year 2 Class, Worksheets can be edited. Story can also be found on woodlands junior.

5 Point Anxiety Scale Includes angry birds characters

This resource can be used as an emotions fan or flashcard/chart to help children recognise and express their emotions. Linked to the theme of dinosaurs to engage those that love dinosaurs. Created specifically for an Autistic pupil who struggles with describing his emotions and has an interest in dinosaurs.

I created this power point for a staff meeting I had to deliver summarising the new code. To make it more interesting I added an activity involving sharing ideas on strategies to support different pupil needs. Took me ages to put together, hope it saves time for someone else!

Minecraft themed anxiety scale

This resource is intended to help children with Autism who struggle to regulate their emotions and get angry over work tasks. This particular child doesn’t like to get things wrong and can have outbursts. Social stories can help children deal with their emotions and understand how to behave when in tricky situations. This social story is editable and can be adapted to different situations. I hope this will be a useful resource.
