A PDF and editable PPT recording format for a waterproof or non-waterproof materials investigation, differentiated to include one version with a table for recording results and one with simply squared paper.

A set of 30 matching pairs emotions cards as a PPT and PDF download (3 A4 pages in total). I used this resource as a ‘Kim’s Game’, each pupil choosing 2 cards and deciding whether they are a matching pair. The pairs are together horizontally as they are printed, but there may be more than one suitable pair arising from discussion with children. Great for emotional literacy sessions.

Body language activities based on the story ‘Harrison Spader, Personal Space Invader’ by Christianne Jones (online readaloud linked). I used this story and resource with a child who was giving over-exhuberant hugs to his peers and teachers, without reading the body language of others. This story and the illustrations made sense to him and he enjoyed discussing the body language shown.
