I love resources that ensure all pupils are able to access & feel confident within lessons. It makes me sad when a pupil feels stressed because they don't get it. I love hearing a pupil say "I am on it miss".
All resources for main part of lessons are differentiated to 3 if not 4 levels of progress.
Starters are mixed ability so that I can get pupils to feel confident in areas they struggle on.
Any queries please email me; shacostello@gmail.com
