This spelling activity is a great way for your students to work on their spelling skills in a fun and engaging way with the theme of the weather.

(0)
This visual communication fan is a great way for your students to communicate with you where they are in pain. Many of our students struggle to explain where they feel pain - or where is hurting.

There are a range of different body parts included on this fan, and you can put them together with a keyring and keep on you at all times.
