Cut and Stick worksheet in which children should look at the pictures and decide whether they show good or bad behaviour choices.
Why do you need this?
The worksheet helps reinforce classroom rules and expectations by providing visual examples of both desirable and undesirable behaviours. Sorting the pictures into “good” and “bad” choices reinforces the importance of following classroom rules and helps clarify expectations for students. The activity prompts discussions about appropriate behaviour in the classroom. As students sort the pictures, teachers can engage them in conversations about why certain behaviours are considered good or bad choices and the impact of these behaviours on themselves and others.
How and when might you use this?
This worksheet could be used in a variety of ways:
· At the beginning of the school year to introduce and discuss classroom rules.
· As a review activity to reinforce classroom expectations.
· In partner and small group work, children can collaborate together discussing their reasoning and justifying their decisions to one another.
· As a reflection tool following a behaviour incident to allow children to identify and evaluate their actions.
· As part of PSHE lessons focused on managing emotions and behaviours.
What’s included?
Included is a worksheet showing 2 columns and then 10 different pictures to cut and sort.
Social story for a child who has been pulling other people’s hair.

Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.
These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.

This resource includes cards to help children build sentences, it includes cards that describe ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘what doing’.
Why do you need this?
Colourful Semantics uses colour coded cards to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence and how to join them together in the correct order. By visually representing each part of the sentence with a specific colour, learners can better understand the structure and meaning of sentences, as well as the relationships between words.
How and when might you use this?
This approach is often implemented through a variety of interactive and hands-on activities, such as sentence building games, storytelling, and picture-based exercises. It can be tailored to the individual needs and abilities of learners, making it suitable for use in both classroom settings and speech and language clinics.
