My store has a range of resources in Speech and Language, SEND and Computing. It includes an Advanced form of 'Colourful Semantics' which I called 'Colourful Speech' which I developed to be used with one-to-one, small groups and whole class teaching it spans across the curriculum. It helps children to understand grammar and word groups as they progress through their learning journey. I love creating bespoke resources to help children with specific needs.

It is vital that we teach our children to keep safe online. Hopefully by sharing this resource you can help to give your children the knowledge to keep themselves safe while enjoying the Internet. These resources have been developed over the last 11years but due to their nature, they are always a work in progress.
It is part of my Communicating, Collaborating and E-Safety planning (DL-CCE)
Children learn how to communicate and share information in a variety of different ways.
They learn how to stay safe when using the Internet and how to keep personnel information private.
They talk about current issues such as Cyber bullying/friendship, mobile phone use and sensible and safe use of all Technology.
They also talk about being aware of how long they spend using this Technology and how they can take ownership of their usage.
They discuss ‘The right to be unavailable’ and talk about turning off mobile phones and other devices.
We try to help them understand that social networking is a wonderful way to communicate but that it can be time consuming and demanding if not used carefully.
I hope these resources help you to ensure that your children have the knowledge to keep themselves safe and the tools to deal with problems or dangers that arise.
