A really simple board game I’ve used with SEN classes, uses widget symbols to aid understanding. Can be used as a transition activity for 2 students to get to know each other or to build social skills in asking questions and listening to the answers.

This was for a small PSHCE lesson for Year 7 students. It’s brief, and doesn’t go into too much detail but has a drawing task, and you can make a sensory task (I just used a box and cut a hole in it), to keep them engaged. It has links to the NAS website, which is for 2018 but can be updated, and to a youtube clip about the creator of Pokemon, which some students might like.

Can be used as a general starter or linked in with Measure. I prepared this for a post 16 SEN class.

I’ve adapted a resource that I found on here and made 8 different animal bingo sheets, originally for a small SEN class. Includes pics of the animals to hold up as well as saying them.

5 weeks worth of spelling practise. Students have 5 words per week. The document can be edited as I have included the days I give my students the spellings. Wk1- bit, hit, kit, sit, pit Wk2- nod,won,son,fox,box Wk3- dog,log,jog,fog,sob Wk4-dot,hot,pot,mop,hop Wk5- mud,bug,jug,mug,rug

Originally made for an SEN class with literacy levels similar to EYFS and Key stage 1 students. I don’t have all the reosurces to go with it as some of these I got from other websites, but thought it might be helpful for ideas for a Pop art topic for a low level group.

Originally made for a KS3 SEN class studing the book, Lost and Found. I read the description of the penguin and the students had to draw and guess the animal. The students then read the description underlined the adjectives and made thier own word mat full of adjectives and phrases to describe the penguin. The colourful semantics was used to put the description into sentences, I have uploaded an example of sentences they made. I also printed white words so they could write in full sentences.

Originally made for an SEN class to explore mindset. I’ve used the videos from Classdojo, and includes 5 worksheets with questions on each episode/chapter to prompt discussion. Worksheets include widget symbols.

6 spelling practise worksheets, designed for an SEN class, for weekly spellings. Includes PECs for the words to aid understanding for low level students. Includes- ad, ag/am, an, ap/at, ut/ug and ed/eg words. Includes a word list so spellings can be sent home if necessary.

A power point presentation with worksheets to go alongside. All about the legal system in the UK, has links to videos to go alongside this and a quiz about how old you have to be for certain activities. Originally made for a KS3 SEN class, easily adaptable.

6 pictures and 6 basic sentences to be created using colourful semantics. I have included a template of the colours in order that can be stuck in books for students who need to use the colours to identify which words should go where.

A brief power point all about Irish culture, focussing on food and folklore.

Originally made for an SEN KS3 class, uses widget symbols to aid understanding. The powerpoint can be used to give information to students and encourage discussion about how often you should wash your hair, how puberty effects this etc. Then the class can sequence the images and make a leaflet or document informing people how to wash their hair properly.

Links to Meditation, breathing exercises and mindfulness videos on Youtube. Originally made for an SEN class where we do mindfulness every morning, so all accessible for children with low abilities. Includes a Pinwheel PDF for the pinwheel breathing.

Originally made for a KS4 SEN class for the NCFE Level 1 Employability unit: Understanding Mindset. Includes around 6 lessons (but this can easily be edited) and includes work on the mindset qualities, Honesty Commitment Accountability Flexibility

I used this as a starter for a small SEN class, but could be turned into a worksheet.
