Originally made for a KS3 SEN class. A MTP on social skills focusing on friendships. Includes a peer buddy ticklist completed at the end of every lesson. I found and downloaded resources from here, and other websites, but hopefully gives some ideas for social skills lessons or interventions.

6 pictures and 6 basic sentences to be created using colourful semantics. I have included a template of the colours in order that can be stuck in books for students who need to use the colours to identify which words should go where.

I made this for an SEN Y7 & 8 class to create mind maps of different story settings using the 5 senses. Can be useful to laminate and reuse for lesson starters etc

Originally made for a KS3 SEN class studing the book, Lost and Found. I read the description of the penguin and the students had to draw and guess the animal. The students then read the description underlined the adjectives and made thier own word mat full of adjectives and phrases to describe the penguin. The colourful semantics was used to put the description into sentences, I have uploaded an example of sentences they made. I also printed white words so they could write in full sentences.

A quiz worksheet and power point with all the answers on to go through after. Used as a quick intro lesson to the Ancient Egypt topic. Originally for a KS3/KS4 SEN class.

I used this as a starter for a small SEN class, but could be turned into a worksheet.

A brief power point all about Irish culture, focussing on food and folklore.

A really simple board game I’ve used with SEN classes, uses widget symbols to aid understanding. Can be used as a transition activity for 2 students to get to know each other or to build social skills in asking questions and listening to the answers.

Power point presentation where students must choose the odd word out of 4. Originally made for an SEN KS3 and KS4 English class.

This was for a small PSHCE lesson for Year 7 students. It’s brief, and doesn’t go into too much detail but has a drawing task, and you can make a sensory task (I just used a box and cut a hole in it), to keep them engaged. It has links to the NAS website, which is for 2018 but can be updated, and to a youtube clip about the creator of Pokemon, which some students might like.

Originally made for an SEN KS3 class, uses widget symbols to aid understanding. The powerpoint can be used to give information to students and encourage discussion about how often you should wash your hair, how puberty effects this etc. Then the class can sequence the images and make a leaflet or document informing people how to wash their hair properly.

A brief powerpoint on the importance of sleep, sleep deprivation and food and drinks that help/hinder our sleep. Students can make a mind map or a poster using the tips at the end of the powerpoint.

These are some sensory activities to use as starters or during tutor time. They have been selected and designed for students with learning and behavioural needs. I've also uploaded a script for one of the activities, just to provide an example but when you're doing the activity the story theme could change so you need to be flexible. From experience they can help students be more creative in their lessons, it builds social skills between groups of students and can help them regulate their emotions. Can be used and adapted for all ages but was originally designed for secondary and post 16 students.

A presentation and collection of resources, originally made for a p5-p8 KS2 class on shape and pattern.
