Raising standards in KS1 and Special Needs: helping every child to succeed.
I have taught systematic phonics to all ages and abilities for over 30 years. My teaching degree was in Environmental Studies and I hate to see science reduced to box-ticking when there is so much to discover about the wonderful world we live in.
So, I produce Phonic resources that meet the real needs of children and teachers, along with science resources to engage children in learning about the natural world.

Including:
Weather topic ideas for your science and geography lessons
**Supporting worksheets **and puzzles to help the development of vocabulary.
Our mini-clouds project can be incorporated into your Weather Project, providing differentiated activities for Science, Geography, English and Art with supporting resources.
Clouds Powerpoint 29 slides to help children learn about clouds and how they are formed
**The Seasons and Weather PowerPoint **
57 slides taking pupils through the seasons thinking about the weather and how it affects the things that happen
**The Weather Word Mat ** will be great to help children write up their observations.
25 vocabulary flashcards, phonetically coded to help young learners
Covers all of the KS1 weather components of both the Geography and Science curricula.
This 41-slide Powerpoint about Blackbirds will help children to use the local environment throughout the year to explore and answer questions about animals in their habitat.
The Power Point teaches children:
To recognise Blackbirds
What they eat
Where they live
How they move
How they are suited to their environment…
How they nest
and more!
It includes two brief video clips.
Full narration notes are provided both under each slide (use in presentation mode for best effect) or in transcript (pdf).
Our Blackbirds PowerPoint will help you to teach the following section of the National curriculum for Science:
Y1: Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
identify and name a variety of common animals including…birds.
identify and name a variety of common animals that are… carnivores.
Non-statutory guidance:
Pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to explore and answer questions about animals in their habitat.
Pupils should become familiar with names of birds - in this case, Blackbirds
Year 2:
Living things and their habitats:
identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each other
identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-habitats
describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals,
Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Non-statutory guidance:
Pupils should be introduced to the basic needs of animals for survival…
They should also be introduced to the processes of reproduction and growth
The PowerPoint will engage all pupils (tried and tested) and help to bring science alive - away from mere box ticking! Helping you to raise the next generation of adults who know our world and understand what it really needs to sustain it.
