A great way to discuss the different emotional vocabulary needed on a day to day basis, by linking it through the commonly used emojis found all around us. Asking the children to discuss the emojis and to justify this based off the facial expressions of the emojis is a good lesson in understanding that difficulty of reading an emotion on the surface.

Another variation of the resource I’ve uploaded called ‘My Community’ A simple task that can be used to find out about your pupils and their lives.

A very simple scrapbook style resource for the children to cut and paste items from a supermarket Christmas magazine to create a menu on a budget. There is space on the cover for final calculations to be tallied and space for a starter page, a main page and a dessert page. I kindly ask in Lidl or Aldi to have enough booklets for one between two and then the children can work in pairs with varying budgets from 20 to 100 pounds. If you can, share examples of your learners work on twitter @InTechnicolour or Instagram @TeachingInTechnicolour Thanks, Nicholas

A fun an interactive way for children to assess themselves or each other. Children can be prompted to think about questions they could be asked in a text conversation to enable them to share their learning in a deeper way. Taking on the role of the asker and answerer needs the children to think of both sides of coin - learning and sharing the learning.

Blackout Poetry for Remembrance of the Poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ by John McCrae Poem has been repeated multiple times within the document so there is plenty of options to select words that stand out to you. Advice taking from Twinkl on how to complete a blackout poem: Scan the page for a word that stands out to you and has significance or meaning to you. Now reread the whole page and look out for any words that could link with the first word you chose. Lightly circle with pencil any words that stand out to you. Try to avoid circling more than three words in a row. List all of the words that you have circled on a separate piece of paper. Write them in the order that they appear on the book page. Read through all of the words that you have selected and choose the final words that you would like to use in your poem. Black out any unwanted words with a black pen. Add any illustrations or pictures you would like to go with your poem. Again, use a black pen.

A resource designed for inward reflection around Christmas time. To look beyond the materialistic aspects of Christmas and find what makes our own heart grow, just as The Grinch’s had. Christmas can be overwhelming for many adults and children and focusing on the things that make us happy, content and loved during these times can be helpful. A word mat is provided as a guide to support those in sentence creation. Adapted this year (2022) to include the idea of thinking about parts of our bonnie wee Scotland that makes our hearts grow, to be used as Christmas cards for those newly settled in Scotland.
