A standalone paper-based PSHCE lesson on managing risk. The lesson has plenty of support and stretch tasks and is designed to be enough for a one-hour lesson. It has ten tasks of varying types including matching exercises and longer written tasks. All information students need is in the worksheet including the answers for self-assessment. The first page has clear instructions and a tick-list to help students stay on track. Answers are included at the back and the final task is for students to mark their learning then complete a self-assessment and reflection task. Key words are defined, lessons include a variety of types of task and visual prompts including pictures. There are two versions of the lesson, one for KS3 and one or KS4 - they are the same lesson but with addition stretch or support therefore both could be used in the same class to support differentiation. The lesson purposely focuses on uncontroversial topics and therefore is suitable to be given to a supply teacher or non-specialist. There is plenty of room for discussion if required but equally most students should be able to access the learning with minimal extra support. A separate teacher sheet with answers is provided. There is space for the cover teacher to record information about the lesson / class at the end. Both KS3 & 4 versions are provided here with teacher sheets. They are word documents and therefore fully editable to ensure, for example, that the instructions to the supply teacher match expectations in your school. More cover lessons coming soon including RE lessons.

A slide show of Thoughts for the day for a half term, with animations, literacy support and a think prompt. The quotes are taken from religious and non-religious sources covering a wide variety of religions, cultures and backgrounds. Whilst some are from religious texts, none are overtly religious in tone and they have wide application. Quotes have been selected to be inclusive for a multicultural school community and are suitable for Years 7 to 13. Each week has a theme. This is the key word explained on the first day highlighted in blue and is repeated in the final message at the end each day, to help students be clear about what the focus for the week is. Each slide starts with a picture of a scene in nature then reveals the quote. There is then an explainer, explaining a key word, phrase or who a person is. Finally, a box is revealed with a question for students to think about to illicit a private response to the thought. At the end, a message saying ‘Thank you for thinking about theme have a good day’ pops up to signal the end of the Thought for the Day.
