This resource contains an engaging, fully editable, 35-slide PowerPoint presentation on the theme of optical illusions and the messages these illusions contain. This is an ideal New Year assembly or for use during anti-bullying week.
The introduction begins with students making choices between items that are popular eg. football teams, Xbox or PlayStation, pizza or burger, Coronation Street or EastEnders etc. This opening serves to engage the pupils. It leads on to a slide on which they are asked to make a choice between a white van or a red sports car. However, there is no sports car - as it is an ‘optical illusion’ - the car is ‘painted’ on the van. This leads into the ‘optical illusions’.
Further optical illusions are introduced. There is also a hyperlink to an entertaining ‘optical illusion dance’ by teachers.
The main messages of the presentation are:
What we see and what is actually happening is not always the same and sometimes we jump to wrong conclusions - as exemplified in images that appear to be moving but are not.
We do not always see things from other people’s point of view - as exemplified in the young lady / old woman image
We do not always see the good things in people or situations - as exemplified in the ‘good / evil’ image
We sometimes put ourselves first instead of others - as exemplified in the me/you illusion image.
This resource could be used for assemblies ( the situations could be further explored through role play and drama and included in the final assembly presentation), PSE lessons and tutor based activities - particularly useful if there have been some issues around the themes covered by the assembly.

'How to Become a Successful TES Author - Step-by-Step Guide'
I began to produce resources for TES in August 2015. When I look back at my early resources I cringe! I made so many mistakes…. Since then I have come a long way and learned so much. One of my resources made over 900 sales in the space of a few weeks and earned nearly £2000 in royalties.
In this 23-page, step-by-step guide I share my mistakes and my successes to help you avoid making the same mistakes and to become a successful author sooner than you would have done without this guide. I do not claim to have all the answers and ‘my way’ might not be other people’s way.

This resource contains an asylum seeker/refugee simulation activity pack. It is an ideal resource for Refugee Week / Refugee Day in June.
It includes an editable lesson plan, a simulation activity and a set of follow-up activities.
The simulation, in PowerPoint form, contains 8 scenarios. Pupils are divided into groups and are required to make decisions/take actions. Some of the scenarios are accompanied by a timer with dramatic music playing to simulate the confusion in which refugees have to make quick decisions.
Scenario 1 - War has broken out. Members of the group have to leave their homes. They are required to choose 6 items to take with them.
Scenario 2 - A pick-up truck arrives to take the group to a boat on the coast. The driver speeds away as fast as he can. He hits a speed bump and one of the group’s bags falls off the back of the truck.
Scenario 4 - The truck continues its journey towards the coast but runs out of fuel and the group has to walk. To make the journey easier everyone has to take the heaviest item out of their bag to make it lighter.
Scenario 6 – The group reaches the coast. There is a small boat waiting. However, the boat can only take four people.
Scenario 7 – The man with the boat wants payment. Members of the group must give any money they have to him. If they have no money they have to give him their most valuable item.
Scenario 8 -The boat sets sail. The wind gets up and the waves become rough. Water from the waves gets into the boat. Your bag is drenched. Anything which could be affected by water is ruined.
Review: "Wow, my year 10 History students loved this lesson. Each student was engaged and even students who normally have to be pushed to answer questions were eagerly filling out the review questions at the end. The added music to the PPT really added to the drama of the scenarios. This was an exciting and top-quality product."
