Designed for Y7 pupils, all with autism. Two PowerPoint presentations - one on Victorian Childhood and one on Victorian toys. TEACCH style questions (for both topics) to ensure that activities are structured. Cut and paste activity - cut out pictures of Victorian toys and complete the table.

Resources made to support SEN group with autism. We read 'Little Polar Bear' by Hans de Beer. Colour cards are orange 'who' words to support Narrative Intervention. Structured visual (TEACCH) included to support students to write about Lars and Henry's journey. This is coloured red as this covers 'where' words. Will work equally well for children who are not using narrative intervention - in which case the word colours could just be random. Could also benefit children without ASD who struggle with working memory, attention or writing activities. Saved as PDF.

PowerPoint created for Asdan PHSE course. Pupils act as agony aunts / uncles and write advice to other young people who have queries about drug use. Used for Year 9 pupils with autism / SEN. Developed for PSHE Short course but can be used for general drugs education.

Several resources on a Three Little Pigs theme. Designed for primary children with autism but would also work for mainstream. Three Little Pigs wordsearch Three Little Pigs wordmat 'All About Pigs' information sheet with accompanying booklet for children to complete. (Comprehension) Wolf / house craft - children cut out squares with pictures of the Three Pigs' Houses, these are stuck onto the main sheet as a 'door'. Behind the door, children write whether the Big Bad Wolf managed to blow down that house. 'Is' or 'Are' worksheet with Three Little Pig theme.

These 2 Power Points were designed to accompany a 'Victorian' box, on load from a local museum. The lessons were planned for a group of Y7 students, all with autism - therefore speaking, listening and attention skills were also targeted, together with more general social skills. Students also struggled with theory of mind / speech and language which the describing activity and game sought to target. My young people really enjoyed these lessons and the activities were completed over several weeks. If you are lucky enough to have a local museum which loans topics boxes then that wold be ideal, however the activities would also work if you have your own set of Victorian learning resources.

Resource created to support learners with ASD in understanding personality and appearance - this can be a real area of difficulty for learners with ASD. Children should write outside of the first image, describing 'outside', they write inside the second image to help them understand that personality is on the 'inside'.

3 x table peg cards - learners attach clothes pegs to the correct answer for each sum in the 3 table. Designed as a work task for learners with autism / SEN but equally useful for mainstream learners. Chop and laminate cards to use.

4 basic visual discrimination / category activities, used as workstation tasks / morning jobs for learners with autism. Activity to encourage generalisation and begin to develop flexible thinking / categories. Best laminated with velcro strips on base boards, corresponding velcro on picture cards. However could also be printed and used as a worksheet.

Shape bundle designed to run alongside White Rose Y1 Block 3. Join name to 3D shape Odd one out (3D shape) Shape sorting activity Pattern worksheets

10 pages of activities designed to co-ordinate with White Rose, Y1, Block 2, Place Value to 50. Would also be useful to develop / reinforce basic maths skills with any age group or SEN / intervention groups.

Question cards, children to clip a clothes peg onto the correct answer (yes or no). Some questions are literal, others require reasoning / knowledge of concepts such as biggest / youngest, prepositions, colours or general knowledge.

Simple Orion story for primary children with SEN / autism We read the story together on the PowerPoint. The word document was cut into strips and we sequenced them as a group. We then made our own telescopes from cardboard tubes to look at the Orion constellation (used our telescopes to look at a square of card with pin pricks to show the 'Orion constellation').

One sheet to introduce the idea of writing lists. One sheet to support children to use the information from the list to write a sentence. This sheet ties in with Robin's Winter Song which we are beginning after half term but doesn't need reference to the book - it could just be an independent list of what animals eat. Designed for KS2 children with significant SEN / autism.

Designed for my SEN / autistic learners who are mixed age but following White Rose Y3 (weeks 1 - 3, though likely to take my learners longer): Comparing statements Related calculations Multiply 2 digit number by 1 digit

I used this to develop very basic counting skills in a child with significant needs. It can be used as a cut and paste worksheet (3 worksheets if you print the table 3 times) or laminated and used as a re-useable sorting / workstation task. I also used the laminated cards to play counting games with the child - giving him a selection of cards (all of the cards would have been overwhelming) and asking him to find 3 apples / 2 bananas etc. Once he became more confident with this, the next step would be to give him a selection of cards and ask him to find all of the threes / all of the twos etc. As this child was particularly motivated by superheroes, I included some superhero cards too.

Resources used in my ASD specialist provision class last year, this was a mixed age and ability class who found positional language very difficult to master, even with lots of practical lessons! The pictures used are coloured teddies as we had teddy counters in class. I’ve chosen the colours to match the counter colours so we could use physical teddies for children who needed a more concrete experience. Teddy before / after - 3 A4 sheets. Two of these sheets have a line of teddies at the top, with an arrow to show the direction that they have lined up in. Children need to answer ‘before’ questions (e.g. ‘who is before orange teddy?’) As most of the children had limited literacy skills, I included a strip of teddies at the bottom of the sheet so they could cut and stick instead. This allowed for more independence. The 3rd sheet was an extension for my more able children. Children had to use ‘before’ or ‘after’ correctly in sentences about the teddies. Position Teddy - 5 A4 sheets. Sheet 1: 3 lines of coloured teddies Sheet 2: simple tables Children are given one of the 3 teddy strips which they use to complete the table on sheet 2. Sheet 3: black and white teddy strips to colour Sheet 4 and 5: directions strips Children are given a black and white strip and a sheet of directions (e.g. ‘Red teddy is 1st’ so the child colours the first teddy in their strip red) I chopped and laminated these where appropriate (the teddy strips and instructions) so they were reuseable. They can also be left as they are and glued into books. Together with some practical work, these activities covered maths lessons for over a week. If laminated, they are also good to come back to as one off refreshers, or for 1:1 or intervention work.

4 baseboards and 16 cards (best laminated to make the resource last longer). Baseboards each showing 4 items. Pupils use the accompanying cards to identify which items go together (e.g. head goes with cap). Boards and cards are colour coded to ensure that the sets don’t get mixed up. I used these as workstation tasks / morning jobs but they could also be printed and used as worksheets. Designed for children with autism / social communication difficulties to develop reasoning / logical thinking and for the child to begin to make connections. Can be extended by asking the child / young person to explain their reasoning.

This is a 2 page fact sheet designed for my class who were a mixed age primary group, all with autism, attending a specialist provision. This group were working between P6 and approximately a Y1 level. The activity was designed to increase learner’s awareness of basic facts relating to themselves as few of the class were aware of basic personal information such as their full name, birthday and address. As the activity was geared around them, they were more engaged than usual and most were able to remember the key facts after practising asking and answering each other. I also linked this to our maths - taking about how many of each eye colour / shoe size etc and measuring heights, hands and feet. I will upload that separately. Activities suitable for any age group working at this level. Eye is to be coloured in with appropriate colour - in case anyone is wondering why there is nowhere to write the eye colour!

I made this for a little boy with autism who was working at mid P Levels. This was to develop his basic one to one correspondence of numbers up to 10 and ordering numbers. The activity is suitable for mainstream or any aged learner who is working at a basic maths level. There are 10 A4 sheets in total: 5 have 2 cards on 1 A4 sheet. These sheets have apple trees with a numbered basket (1 - 10). The idea of these was that the child places the matching number of ‘apples’ on the tree. For apples I used red counters or small red pompoms. There is an A4 apple tree with a space to place a number card on - this could be used in 2 ways: Adult (or peer) places up to 10 ‘apples’ on the tree and the child has to find the correct number card or the adult / peer places a number card in the space provided and the child has to place the correct number of ‘apples’ on the tree. The other pages have apple themed number cards to use with the A4 apple tree. They could also be used on their own for ordering, identifying which number comes next or is missing…or print twice and use as a memory game. This activity would be best laminated / velcroed. Its a bit of a random addition but as he could also rote count in 10’s to 100, I included number cards for 10’s numbers to develop his ability to recognise the numbers.
