Full Resource Description and Concept...
This book has been designed to stimulate a wealth of creative thought processes in children of all ages and key stages, whilst also being engaging and highly enjoyable to complete. Designed in the style of our calming mindfulness colouring books but with influences from the "anti-colouring" books also.
Contains 41 thought-provoking activities and fun artistic challenges that progressively get more creatively challenging as the book progresses, plus a bonus challenge that is not available in the physical book (which is available from Amazon) plus Teachers' notes and a children's introduction that is full of creativity enhancing ideas.
Uses include: for a golden time group, wet play or lunch activities, after school clubs, SEN interventions, gifted and talented pupils (as the creative potential is open ended), starters, art lessons, time filling, explicit creativity enhancing lessons (think Edward de Bono) or just incredibly useful to have "up your sleeve" as a highly educational set of printable activities that requires deeper thinking than "just" colouring in.

These 10 worksheets all have short stories (c.100 words each) with the full stops missing. Designed for repeated practice to help children who find it hard to accurately add full stops to their writing, whatever age or key stage whilst also improving reading comprehension skills and the ability to check their work for errors.
Stories contain full colour images and are designed to be interesting to children and spark discussion regarding where a full stop goes and how the end of a sentence is identified.
Extension would be to check, peer assess and add capital letters or to continue the story with accurate sentence boundary demarcation. All images sourced from openclipart.com
This beautiful lesson could also be used for a meaningful and special assembly by making minor edits to the PowerPoint.
Designed to fit with "good to be me" style units but can be used for many areas of PSHE/SEAL as the lesson teaches how to develop self-esteem whilst also maintaining emotional balance by being aware of and identifying areas of personal development.
All made memorable through an innovative teaching and learning approach that could help children maintain positive self-esteem for the rest of their lives.
Suitable for all ages but designed for KS2 (ages 7-11).
Contains PowerPoint with two part starter, complete teaching input, BBC video link and plenary plus 2 worksheet based activities.
Lesson length 1 hour.
All images either sourced from openclipart.org or owned by tftf.
