A colourful and engaging set of times table posters. Each poster has a multi-sensory strategy for learning that times table with an extension task for creating a poster using the given strategy so the facts can be learnt by heart or given a memorable way to support skip counting. Not only are they great for SEND children to learn some difficult maths facts but they are colourful and bright and would make any classroom look amazing and raise the profile of maths in your class.

These colourful and engaging sheets offer children a chance to stop and think about how they are feeling. The first question asks them to identify an emotion they are feeling and is followed by having to identify what it looks like on a face. For those children that are learning to read emotional and social cues this can be invaluable training. For those learning to recognise emotional triggers, using these sheets daily as a morning task can support their growing awareness of themselves and their feelings. The sheets come in a multitude of genders, skins colours and hair styles so that you can find a fit for the child you are working with. A simple but really effective resource supporting our primary aged children as they try to make sense of themselves and the world around them.

These are fun activities to get your students talking. It is not always easy to start a conversation but these tasks are designed to initiate talk. The tasks are open-ended with no ‘right’ way to do them. The images show fun drawing such as ‘What is on your toast?’. These will get the children talking and you can then work into the conversation something that needs to be addressed or just give the child chance to speak to you. They can be used as whole class ice breakers or for a single child in need of a chat. A great set of 16 activities to initiate talk and have fun. For any teacher or adult in school that want to know more about the children they teach.

There are also slides offering advice on where to find support for staff who need development. I have offered suggestions as to websites and orgaisations that might be useful for maths leads and there are some quotes and posters from experts in the field of education and business that can be used as mantras to develop your role around. A great starting point for subject leads who want to create a positive and inspiring atmosphere for colleagues.

A set of 8 mantras to support leaders to create a respectful and cooperative environment. Taken from the perspective of a classroom teacher who has seen the good, the bad and the down right ugly. They are the lessons I have learnt where leaders, heads and managers can make easy changes to win the trust and respect of their staff. Once that respect is achieved, it becomes a sted-fast loyalty and you have a school that shares the load and works together. Through my experience, this open, honest and cooperative environment can be the difference between a Requires Improvement inspection and a Good one.
