All necessary resources to run the lessons are included in this download and all resources are for a double lesson (or two single lessons) i.e. there should be enough to content to cover around 1 hour and fifty minutes.

The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work without any extra planning.
All activities and resources have been used in class and any errors will be fixed and resources updated as soon as I am aware of any errors. I have priced my resources at what I consider to be a reasonable cost based upon the amount of effort and work I have put into them but all comments and suggestions are very welcome and will be used to improve future resources.

Please do leave a review and if you have an idea for a topic / resource that you would like to see (or improvement for this resource), feel free to contact me.
