A ready-to-use whole PSHE / end of year review lesson with interactive smartboard presentation and resources to print. <br /> <br /> The smartboard presentation introduces what they're going to be doing and then presents each area to think about on a separate page, so you can work through it with them. There are a few symbols on each page of the presentation, to demonstrate completion of the sentence. <br /> For example, on the &quot;My favourite educational visit was...&quot; page, there are the symbols for museum, boat trip and castle, ready to drag up to complete the sentence. On their sheets of symbols, there are a lot more to choose from.<br /> <br /> The printed resources, include a main page for them to fill in their details on, and then sentences to complete using the wide range of symbols. Each question has a dedicated page of symbols. <br /> <br /> Of course you can let them cut out the symbol they want, or get your TA to chop each page up beforehand and put in a separate envelope for them to spread out and choose from, for each question.

Something I made to help a child or children use an appropriate volume of voice. You put one of the supplied yellow squares where you want volume to be, and then you (or a student) can shuffle around the other box as you see fit. If they linked up (usually on the quiet setting!) for at least X amount of minutes- the class / student received a reward or token towards reward.

This is a series of lessons based on making up and describing a Victorian character based (originally) within a Victorian workhouse. Scrooge is included as a fun example to practice with - either as a shared write or individually. Then there's plenty of stimulus for children to write their own excellent description of their own Victorian character - only after they've used the included resources such as &quot;Zone of Relevance&quot; (sheets and differentiated levels of words included). <br /> <br /> This series of lessons/activities could be done by standalone or as part of the wider unit of work that I'm selling with the other supporting resources.

A whole variety of things which I used for a week's worth of literacy with my year 4 class. <br /> Powerpoints / smart notebooks / sentence starters / a very detailed lesson plan (which turned into about 4 afterwards too) as was an observed lesson if I remember rightly!<br /> <br /> Did this as part of my overal unit of literacy I'm selling elsewhere here: stories with historical setting - but this lot could easily be done as a stand-a-lone week. <br /> <br /> Only this is you'll have to update the dates here and there - as I didn't teach it this year :)<br /> <br /> Was a lovely lead up to Christmas though and you/they can 'go to town' on the sensory side of things too.

Made this djembe drumming lesson pack for a class of autistic children and young people, or alternatively equally useful in early years setting or maybe year 1 and 2.<br /> <br /> Basically it is a very simple introduction to the djembe drum and 3 ways in which to play it (along with start and stop symbol.) <br /> <br /> This pack also contains automatic powerpoints that have different arrangements of the symbols so that when you launch each powerpoint it guides the group/class into following/doing what the arrow is pointing at. Just join in and have fun! (The escape button brings you out of the endlessly looping powerpoint!)<br /> <br /> Symbols included too so you could print out and get them arranging their own patterns too. <br /> We also put on some pop music and played their arrangements as mini- performances to the rest of the year group.

This is a nice unit of work I did with a mixed Year 4 class, based on the Street Child by Berlie Doherty. We only had one or two copies of the book but perfectly doable as a shared read etc. <br /> Uploading other resources too which support as much of the planning in here as possible<br /> There's a whole host of lesson objectives, WALTS, WILFS, etc that you could use as you see fit. An example of the objectives:<br /> <br /> Lesson 1 Objectives: <br /> To be able to take part in a whole-class or group discussion, contributing ideas.<br /> To be able to use a written text or illustration to collect information about what we know or think we know.<br /> Lesson 2<br /> Objectives: To learn how to make notes to show what has been deduced from a text.<br /> To be able to respond imaginatively to a text<br /> Lesson 3<br /> Objectives: To use drama techniques to explore a key moment in a plot<br /> <br /> And so on.

These resources are those that I made for a KS3-KS4 class of boys with Autism to begin a section of work on budgeting and finance. (I was lucky enough too to have this lesson graded as outstanding) It would also be appropriate for a high KS1- lower KS2 class, though you may want to alter the income in the 3rd example - as it's currently about a young man with autism who receives a Personal Independence Payment of £800. Then again, you may not, as it would be a talking point! <br /> <br /> It has a great SMART notebook interactive presentation which you use to teach them the difference between income and expenditure. There is a simple flip sign that when folded they can each display to you after they've decided if the given scenarios are income or expenditure. It then works through a example about a boy called Chris who has a variety of income and expenditures. The students, in their workbooks, use a green and red pencil to highlight the values with you demonstrating on the board if necessary. They then use the values to calculate the balances. The SMART notebook then demonstrates the use of budgets to plan for upcoming weeks as well as working out a week that has just passed. <br /> The workbooks, print them out in booklet form on A3 colour, to make 'grown up' lecture note books. The students then have 2 more examples to work through, with various life-skills questions relating to the balance - for example how many weeks would it take Tom to save up to buy a the FIFA game? <br /> Values / names could be easily changed if you wanted to make the task easier / harder.<br /> I've also included the excel spread sheet if you want to create new types of income / expenditure than the ones given.<br /> The 3rd objective, involving assessing their attitude to money, gives them 10 questions and asks what they would do for each question via 3 different options. eg. if you found £10 on the floor would you: a) hand it to someone in authority b) spend it yourself etc. Just a bit of fun to end the lesson with discussion and refection on money attitudes. My staff did it too. Print this out on booklet A3, then the questions will all be on the inside 2 pages for easy completion and scoring (another useful maths skill in some ways).<br /> There's also a completed work book which I displayed on board for the students to mark their work at the end of the lesson. <br /> Lastly, the lesson plan I used is included too.

I've labelled each clip with appropriate symbols, but included a blank one so you can play each one and ask students to select with sentence goes with which video. There's about 15 videos / stages.<br /> We did this as a separate literacy lesson in the morning. <br /> Then students read/follow the instructions they've 'written' or made, to create their own sensory squishy squeezy balls. They loved them and wanted to make more :)

<p><em><strong>PLease note - this resource was made last year - it is for Year 2017 not 2018</strong></em><br /> The number and “I need resource” will still work fine as they’re not name/year specific. I will be updating soon to include the list for this year soon too. Thanks</p> <p>Made this resource for some enthusiatic lego card collectors who didn’t want to take their books out and about with them when swapping!</p> <p>Great for a maths lesson too or lunchtime swapping club.</p> <p>The number squares go upwards or downwards (just print the ones you want) and I’ve also included ‘three digit’ number squares… i.e. the number 1 is written as 001, just like on the lego cards themselves.</p> <p>There is also a complete tick list with names</p>

A series of images and links to news videos (previous news - but they are fairly generic and still interesting for young people). Images print out and slice up before lesson. Then students can make appropriate sentences up using the symbols. Some of mine then used the symbols to then write full sentences in their books.

... who want more practice towards the entry level maths papers. <br /> Each paper could be used as a whole lesson or spread out over a few.<br /> Simple mark guide included and basic info on the original entry level maths paper. It could also be used as evidence towards the real thing.

A whole afternoon of science experiment ready to go! <br /> Whenever I wanted a quick afternoon of science good to go, for a TA to run, I always like practical stuff plus a bit of recording available for those students who liked that sort of thing.<br /> Problem was i could never find a decent template that worked and had a decent recording sheet to match. So I made one and a nice easy smart notebook presentation with video link to match. <br /> Print out on A4 for best results. Just scissors needed - no blu-tac or paperclips required. <br /> Thought of course that be an extension activity if needed!

Nice and simple text or communication in print (CIP) version... great for 'non-readers' or children who rely heavily on symbols to read/communicate.

A variety of resources, to go with my unit plan of work I'm selling too.<br /> Some are self-contained worksheets, some are more free-er activities which are explained in the planning and can be used however you best see fit with your class.<br /> I had quite a lot of children who found writing and vocabulary difficult, hence there is a fair amount of pictorial and language support within my resources.

Learning to write information about yourself eg address date of birth full name CIP &amp; normal format.<br /> <br /> Made originally for a special needs class with communication and reading difficulties, designed to help them learn their own and practice it. There's a nice introduction smart notebook to start your lesson too. For the first lesson we measured height and weight and that sort of thing to make it a bit more physical. Subsequent lessons just practiced remembering their own details and recording in appropriate places

A nice and quick literacy lesson for that first lesson back after Christmas when you haven't got anything planned! Most suited to small group or class of readers, including emerging readers with support. <br /> <br /> You can change the number to however many books are appropriate for your student/students. i.e. 1 if reading long books. <br /> Nice and straight forward instructions in symbol/pictorial form to go to the library, choose a book(s) and read it/them. The worksheet, again in symbol/pictorial form as well as the words, just focuses the student on 3 very achievable tasks relating to the book itself.

Winter references include &quot;See Father Christmas&quot; and &quot;Eat mincepies&quot; all done in Communication in Print font - i.e. symbols and words underneath. <br /> Print the first 2 pages out on to colour A3.<br /> Print the last 2 pages out on to colour A4 and chop around all the boxes ready for you young people to sort appropriately. <br /> Could then see how many of the winter activities they can do in the last 2 weeks of term.

Nice and easy to print and do. Can practice asking each other and then complete the worksheet. Hlaf an hour French lesson sorted :)

Designed and made originally for my class of autistic teenagers as a standalone last minute type lesson! Print off the sheets, explain and demonstrate the task using the prepared smart notebook presentation, grabs some tape-measures, hand over to your TAs and go grab yourself a break!

Maths / Numeracy resource that I made for a mixed ability class of students (old NC levels 2-4). Gives price of various modern objects, and the percentage off, and guides them/you through to work out how much the new price is. For example, 4 TVs all the same for sale, but different deals in different shops. Which shop are you going to buy it from?

Estimate, Measure and Calculate fun intervals of time - ready made lesson with worksheet and extra for experts slip<br /> <br /> WALT: estimate, measure and calculate intervals of time.<br /> Provides a fun-looking worksheet (and more - see below) for the students to estimate the number of times they can do something in 1 minutes (or 30 seconds). It then asks them to do the activity and measure how many times they can actually do it. <br /> <br /> There are a few extension questions such as I should be able to say the alphabet ____________ times in 8 minutes having done it for 1 minute already. <br /> <br /> Some of the questions ask them to estimate and measure how long it takes them to do the activity once, rather than how many times in 1 minutes. This is to mix it up a bit, to practice timing the length on an activity, rather than just 1 minute, and because for one of the activities, once is enough! <br /> <br /> Fancy dress is for one of the quesitons - any bits of fancy dress you've got lying around will do! <br /> <br /> Also includes some pages of ready made paper resources for printing for support for some of the tasks themselves. (eg cutting out circles)<br /> <br /> Also includes an &quot;Extra for Experts&quot; task slip. For them to stick in their books and continue working / calculating to the end of the lesson!
