For one of the first lessons of the year.

A lesson to match old Olympic mascots to descriptions, to follow information about the Rio mascots on https://www.rio2016.com/mascots/#!home and to design their own Olympic and Paralympic mascot. Additional work on fact files for their creations.

A lesson on the Listeners poem. The instructions for the activities I used and the worksheets are all on the PowerPoint slides, with the same PowerPoint to accompany the lesson.

A short lesson for pupils reading below 9.5 years. The pupils love this lesson and still remember it now. Please comment.

Can be adapted! Please comment. Thank you.

This was adapted for different children at a mainstream school. It can be easily adapted as symbols for all secondary subjects are there. Please comment. Thank you.

Better in A3 as a display. Please comment. Thank you.

Use to break down tasks and instructions. Can be used by a teaching assistant and laminated for easy use.

An engaging activity for reluctant writers.

Please comment. Thank you.

Pupils designed a crest with pictures of past/present/future etc then described with worksheet. Pupils then documented key points from their lives on the river of life. Please comment. Thank you.

I used this for Functional Skills level 2 but it can be used for developing knowledge of the trickier vocabulary, from KS3 onwards.

I based this on a year 7 other worlds topic. Resources include Virgin Galactic adverts with s&l exercise, a writing frame for an advert, success criteria for designing an advert and a linked peer assessment sheet.

Please comment. Thank you.

A couple of lessons I made linked to the picture book Journey. Pupils really enjoyed this and I also linked it to the trailer on YouTube.

A diary for SEN pupils to write their feelings on the general school day/a particular lesson etc. Please comment.

One man band clip, engaging and differentiated resources. Worksheets are on the pp-print as a whole slide.

A chart to monitor children's behaviour over a period. This could be a lesson/day/weeks. It is good to show parents. If a child is poorly behaved and gets a red light, notes can be made as to why to see if there is a pattern. Please comment. Thank you.

A different way to engage pupils for work on autobiographies. Pupils can start with filling in the iPad, which can then lead to further extended writing. Pupils can then make a list with pictures in the bucket, then write about one of these adventures coming true. Then pupils can write an acrostic poem. A few lessons to get to know pupils.

Used for an English module on Criminal Minds. Pupils use their imagination to pretend they are a prisoner in Alcatraz at night. They then write a poem based on senses and other feelings. Differentiation is included with sentence starters and word mats for the senses, and for other feelings with pictures. Please comment.
