Creative and innovative resources that meet the needs of every learner in every lesson.
Why create numerous resources when one can do it all.
Most resources are for geography lessons, but many are for whole-school too and cross over into numerous subjects.

A lesson designed for all ages on the skills needed to not just copy information.
Students have a text and do some comprehension work. They then look at re-phrasing the paragraph and putting it into their own words.
All the resources for a series of lessons lesson about landfill. Designed for both KS3 or 4.
Pupils have an information sheet (best printed in A3 & colour). This provides them with the detail that they need about landfill sites in the UK. Pros & cons & what it is.
This information can be used to create a variety of work, but I find that an article works best (included). There is also a SEND article outline.
There is a structured Q & sheet and subsequent SPaG sheet that I print on green paper to address the needs of most schools literacy policy.
The assessment also put pupil learning into context & can be peer/self or teacher assessed.
These tasks actually take about (roughly) 5 lessons to complete.
A powerpoint designed to allow students to vote on the grade of work. Click the button and watch the arrow move upwards. When it hits the level that the students agree with, they raise their hands.
I use this after presentation of work and it allows instant (whole class) feedback on the grade of work.
A sheet that allows students to create a self evaluation of their current learning and attitude. This was designed for geography, but could be used in any subject.
A range of GCSE style questions thank link units together. These offer pupils the opportunity to put their learning into a different context and connect units together.
A statistics lesson created for students in geography that covers a range of statistical ideas. (range, averages, quartile range, ratio, proportion & frequency etc).
An activity designed to give students a greater understanding of primary & secondary activity style questions that they could be asked about in the skills section of their exam.
An A3 sheet that I used as a pre examination handout. It covers the basics of the content for paper 3 (skills). This was copied in colour, laminated and provided to pupils as they were waiting to sit their exam. It could easily be used for any geography exam board or simply used as a skills revision sheet.
An information sheet with all of the content needed for students to create a piece of work related to the causes, effects & how people have adaped to El Nino/drought. Students can create a poem, mindmap, article or any other independent task. Worksheet included to complete summary of key learning.
A sheet that enables pupils of all abilities and ages to create a population pyramid graph. It comprises of 2 bar graphs that are cut & stuck to create a pyramid.
A worksheet designed to allow pupils to easily create their own bar graphs. It includes all of the ingredients for SEND and covers all areas of graphing (data presentation, analysis & evaluation).
An information sheet linked to the impacts that humans have upon glacial/ski resort areas. Sheet can be given to pupils and used to create a booklet, mindmap, storyboard or to answer questions. It is great for independent learning.
Outlines for geography marking to speed up feedback & make it manageable. These can be used for a variety of tasks. They are much easier for pupils to read and save repeating the same comments on numerous pieces of work.
A selection of activities that pupils can use mid-way through or at the end of a unit or to top up learning at any point during the course. Students watch a video clip/clips or DVD on the subject. They then add detail to the mindmap. The GCSE question in the centre of the page links all of the content back to a GCSE context. Pupils complete this in purple pen to top up learning & demonstrate understanding. Tricky SPaG has been identified & pupils copy it 3 times. The resources cover much of what schools are asking for, in terms of topping up learning.
