David Matthew Baker's Primary Shop

Average Rating4.34
(based on 59 reviews)

I'm currently training as a Primary Teacher so making a wide range of resources using a variety of programmes including ActivInspire and Smart Notebook. My shop also has some of my past resources that I made during my time as a Special Needs Support Assistant. I am also a Cub Scout Leader and have provided some of the resources I have made for this role where I feel that may be of use to others.

Contour Challenge (Map Skills)

(2)
This set of files contains the contours needed to construct a 3D model of Ingleborough. You can either print out a few copies of the image and stick it on card and cut the layers out or if you are lucky enough to have access to a Denford Laser Cutter you can use the contained MCM files (see the word document). The Publisher document contains a map to help with the assembly of the model and 3 pictures with the question which of them matches the given contours. This resource was originally made for a Cub Scout Competition.
Advent Assembly

Advent Assembly

(0)
Another of the assemblies I've made (for one of the two teachers I help with assemblies). Our local vicar came to give us a talk on advent so it just has a couple of pictures in the centre. One advent related and a picture of the Christingle to help us prep. our Autistic students. This has the lyrics for Little Donkey (abridged version) and See him lying on a bed of straw complete with appropriate imagery.

Existing Products ACCESS FM Analysis (Mirrors)

(1)
A set of sheets that I made for our Special School (Autism) to help introduce Access FM Analysis to them. They were doing a topic on making MDF frames for mirrors so as a bit of research had them do the analysis of these existing products. There are 8 different designs in this pack. There are short hints to what each word of ACCESS FM means.
Types of Joint

Types of Joint

(0)
A very simplistic worksheet that was used to hit one of the outcomes of an entry level qualification. It simply shows 3 joints and gives the advantages of each joint then asks the students which of the 3 joints they are going to use. (Mitre; Half Lap and Finger Joints)
Facts: Life in Kenya and Kikuyu Names
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Facts: Life in Kenya and Kikuyu Names

(2)
A couple of pieces that I wrote about Kenya when I had an English tutor. One looks at the naming traditions of the Kikuyu tribe whilst the other looks at the typical days of a 10 year old girl both during holiday time and on a normal school day. These sheets might be useful for introducing pupils to the differences between the UK and Kenya.
Bird themed resources - research before project

Bird themed resources - research before project

(2)
Here are a couple of sheets I made for one of our classes that was making bird feeders. One of the two sheets is a matching exercise where the pupils have to draw lines to link up the pictures of the birds with their names and descriptions. The other sheet is related to why the number of garden birds are decreasing and formed the basis for a piece of research that they needed to do.
Air Raid Sound Effect
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Air Raid Sound Effect

(0)
A 5 minute sound file that has been used to simulate an air raid at school and my Cub Scout Pack. It starts with an air raid siren, then has explosion sound effects before finishing with the all clear. We have used it separately and in association with my Child's War Quiz (WW1 & WW2), We pushed some tables together and covered them with a sheet / tarp to make an shelter. A smoke machine was used for extra effect.
TEACCH Tools Activity

TEACCH Tools Activity

(0)
A few sheets to make up a TEACCH Tools activity where special needs students (autism) have to match the tool to its name.
Hobbit - what happens after the story
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Hobbit - what happens after the story

(1)
A descriptive writing task based after the events of the Hobbit but staring the books main characters. I've written a synopsis for the events I thought might take place but the pupils need to flesh out the story with some descriptive writing. I suspect the level at the moment is probably too high but I'm uploading it here in case anyone likes the idea and wants to tweak it a bit to make it suitable. This was another one of the items that I wrote for my English tutor.
Semphore Flag Positions
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Semphore Flag Positions

(0)
A sheet showing young people the different flag positions for the alphabet / numbers in semaphore. This could be used to examine communication and how it only works if both people are paying attention and understand what you are saying.
Staged Swimming Requirements
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Staged Swimming Requirements

(0)
This is a set of sheets (the set I used, I laminated) that you can use to record the completion of a staged set of swimming activities. These are based upon the Scout Staged Swimming Badges but our PE teacher also decided they were useful as he felt they formed a nice progression that was suitable for our Special Needs students. The sheets have the room to write on a students name and then space to tick off each activity as they complete it. (You'll need a permanent marker to write on a laminated sheet.)
Persuasive Poster (Bug Houses) (Differentiated)
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Persuasive Poster (Bug Houses) (Differentiated)

(1)
Here are a series of 4 differentiated worksheets to help students create a persuasive poster encouraging people to buy Bug Houses that they were producing as part of their Design and Technology lessons. This set of posters formed part of an observed lesson and was designed to show cross curricular links with English. (As we currently have a focus on writing within our school.) We started the lesson by showing the students a variety of adverts and talking about the features they use.
Durham District Cub Camp Song Booklet
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Durham District Cub Camp Song Booklet

(1)
A booklet of various easy to pick up and follow songs enjoyed by the Cub age group (8 to 10 1/2 years old). I've uploaded it here incase anyone can find any use for these songs in school or on school residential experiences. Alternatively if you are a Cub leader all you probably need do is change the front cover. Though we don&'t want no 'Someones verbing lord, Kum ba Ay' verses (I was telling the Cubs how to make other verses not giving them another one to sing!)
Birthdays List and Class Door Sign
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Birthdays List and Class Door Sign

(0)
A Birthdays List and Class Door Sign that I made for use in our Special Need's School. The basic template I made may save you making one from scratch. If I find any other versions that I&'ve designed I&';ll edit this post and add them to it.
A Child's War Quiz (WW1 and WW2)
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

A Child's War Quiz (WW1 and WW2)

(0)
ActivExpression Quiz - Answers included to enable use as a paper based quiz. Focuses on events that would have affected children including: Rationing, Evacuation and Air Raids. Some teaching slides included within the quiz. Last slide required 'Air Raid Sound Effect&' that I&';ve uploaded separately. (Due to size restrictions.) If you are from outside the North East you may wish to modify one quiz slide and two teaching slides.
Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)

(1)
A set of A4 pages that I printed out and laminated with Road Sign borders (feel free to edit it to use this part of the card) to give the meanings of various UK road signs. The Cubs then walked around the local area taking photos of road signs with the correct page of the booklet shown in the photo. We decided this was a bit more fun than sitting in the hut identifying signs. Hopefully it might come in useful to some other people.
What tool is it?
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

What tool is it?

(1)
A worksheet that asks students to match pictures of tools to their names by drawing a line between them. Designed for lower ability students. Originally made for use with some of our students working at the lower national curriculum levels in the Special School I work at for Children with Autism.
Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points

(0)
A set of pages designed to be printed out at A4 and put up around a room. Contains Cardinal Points (N, E, S, W) down to Secondary Intercardinal Points (NNE, ENE, etc...) Can then be used to help students know which way to run when playing the North East South West game (where they have to run to the right place) and similar games. Also includes the bearings to allow a bit of variation. Was originally produced for use in our Scout Hut with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
