We have included a selection of 9 different social stories to support children who may need a little more support in social activities and life skills. These have been created in child friendly language. Stories such as these should be read to children repeatedly, to help them in their understanding of different situations and events. These can be particularly helpful to young children and to children with additional needs (SEN) who struggle with social situations. Some children with autism can benefit from reading/listening to social stories to help them in their understanding. You will find stories on things such as Having a New Baby, Bereavement, Going to the toilet, Understanding the Needs of Others, Honesty and Hurting Others. Many SEN resources are available on the website at applefortheteacher.co.uk.

These are great cards which can be printed and laminated, to help children when struggling with the spellings of certain words. Having these tricky words around for children to refer to when writing whenever they need them, can really help with reading and spelling.

This is another of our ‘different takes on traditional stories’. We have designed a story based on ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ but our story takes a different twist and it is called ‘Little Boy Blue Boots’. The story is very visual and has been designed in the form of a powerpoint presentation. Children can observe and become involved in the story during the powerpoint presentation. There are then a selection of comprehension activities available to allow children to work at their own level. We have 3 different levels of comprehension which are included with this and a story sequencing activity. This is a great comprehension activity for children in KS1. Other story comprehensions and presentations like this one are available to download separately from TES or from our website Applefortheteacher.co.uk.

This is a great selection of resources to support learners in KS1 with comprehension. Focusing on the topic of Traditional Tales, this collection has a story of Ben and the Sunflower, this is a different take on the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Children can watch the story on a powerpoint presentation, because this is so visual it helps them to relate to the story and discussions can be had whilst reading the story to a group of children. There are different levels of comprehensions available to download in this pack, which allow children to answer questions all about the story they have just observed. Each comprehension is designed to suit the different levels and needs of children so there are 3 to choose from and a story sequencing activity. Other traditional story powerpoints and comprehensions (with a difference) are available to download separately from TES and from our website applefortheteacher.co.uk.

We have included a selection of Christmas activities to support children in KS1 in this pack, covering a range of subjects. Other Christmas packs are available to download here and on the website applefortheteacher.co.uk for FREE.

We love this activity, teaching alliteration in a fun way, first watch the fun alliteration powerpoint presentation which explains how to create alliterative sentences with Izzy and Ian. Then complete an activity independently. Izzy and Ian need some help to create their exciting, often not traditional ice cream flavours. But the catch is every flavour has to feature alliteration. Follow the steps to create a creative menu to give a flavour to suit every taste. Putting the love in learning one download at a time.

These are great activities to help children to build the key points to their story. Roll the dice to work out what their story is going to be about, then let creativity begin. One ‘design a story’ activity has a Superhero them to help with superhero story writing, then other has a range of different characters. These provide a great support to children to help them with ideas, they also support children in keeping focused on the direction of their writing.

These child-friendly posters have been designed to give children a visual understanding of social distancing/physical distancing during these difficult times with the Coronavirus struggles. Many children will be going back to school soon, where this will be much harder to do. We have prepared these posters to help adults to give children a better understanding of this in a more child centred way.

These lovely activities support the science topic of animals and their habitats. We have designed a habitats/animal matching activity to support children in this and a Craft Activity for children to make their own Woodland Wonderland.

These stunning posters have been designed to help children with their understanding of the different needs of different animals in relation to where they live. Each poster has clear photographs of habitats with a selection of animals who might live in those environments. There is also a habitat/animal matching activity in the form of a cut and stick resource.

This is a gorgeous, child friendly activity, aimed at helping children to grasp the concept that different animals and wildlife need different environments to live in. Read the information abut each habitat which is currently for sale at the Wildlife Estate Agency and look at the photographs to support. Children can put themselves in the mind of the different creatures and decide which property each one would want to buy. This is a brilliant cut and stick activity for children in KS1.https://applefortheteacher.co.uk/download/habitats-for-sale-activity/

To celebrate Roald Dahl day, we want to give something to teachers and educators, who are preparing activities to mark the great achievements from the story telling genius. We have designed 16 fantastic activities, based around familiar stories. Some activities are suitable for EYFS/SEN and KS1 children, others are suitable for children in KS2. There are a range of exciting science experiments for a selection of characters from familiar stories, there is a crossword, a wordsearch and some revolting rhyme ideas. We have even included matching cards which can be played where two of the same need to be matched for younger learners, but then we have designed a higher level matching cards game, which takes a little more thinking about, matching 2 objects that relate to particular stories written by Roald Dahl. Some of these activities have been created to really test your knowledge of Roald Dahl stories. We hope you enjoy a little gift from us to you. Happy Roald Dahl Day :-)

This is a great activity to do with learners on their return from the summer holidays, when starting in a new class. It is also a great speaking and listening activity. Print out on card or laminate them, cut them out and let the children ask away in their groups or pairs. All the questions are the types that children can relate to, allowing them to find out about each other.
