This is a presentation for a fun and inspiring Geography/ PSHE lesson for young children, based on transport and how children get to school in different countries. It would be perfect for a first lesson to get a new class excited about learning and chatting with one another about how their lives are similar/ different. This is part of a ‘broadening horizons’ series which will help to enlarge children’s perspectives beyond their immediate lived experience, and encourage understanding and acceptance of different cultures.

A wall of positive behaviour tagets for use with Reception-aged children experiencing behavioural/ emotional difficulties. I have illustrated each target using Picture Communication Symbols to support children’s understanding of the targets. Instructions for use: The wall of targets poster and a daily tracker sheet should be stuck up somewhere accessible to the child where they can use it to view and record their progress. Each day, support the child to choose 1-2 targets from the wall. Record these in the tracker sheet and select a coloured felt tip for each target. Every time the child meets their chosen target that day, help them to make a dot on the daily tracker with the felt tip. When the child has achieved a certain number of dots for a target, they can either colour in or stick a coloured brick over that target on the wall.
