Great Fire of London Key Stage 1 Science What’s included? A PDF and editable PPT recording format for a waterproof or non-waterproof materials investigation, differentiated to include one version with a table for recording results and one with simply squared paper. My Year 2 children created their own tables on this section or a Venn dagram with wood in the overlapping section, following observations and discussions. A PDF and editable PPT recording sheet for describing the properties of materials relating to Great Fire artefacts (metal water squirter and leather fire bucket).

PSHE pastoral activity for anger Children sort a selection of ideas on speech bubbles, according to whether they are positive or negative coping skills for strong emotions e.g. hitting a wall, having a drink, getting some air, swearing etc.

A set of 30 matching pairs emotions cards as a PPT and PDF download (3 A4 pages in total). I used this resource as a ‘Kim’s Game’, each pupil choosing 2 cards and deciding whether they are a matching pair. The pairs are together horizontally as they are printed, but there may be more than one suitable pair arising from discussion with children. Great for emotional literacy sessions.

Body language activities based on the story ‘Harrison Spader, Personal Space Invader’ by Christianne Jones (online readaloud linked). I used this story and resource with a child who was giving over-exhuberant hugs to his peers and teachers, without reading the body language of others. This story and the illustrations made sense to him and he enjoyed discussing the body language shown.

13 picture cards for children to sort into ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ body language. This brought up lots of discussion from my pupils about facial expression, subtle leans away from an unwanted hug and rigid postures.

Emotional Literacy small group activity cards. Two A4 pages of cards with different scenarios to discuss how to solve. Cards include tips and examples of how one might respond assertively in a difficult social situation. Pupils can come up with alternative ways to assertively respond to challenges they face. Great for self-esteem and friendship focus.

Sorting activity involving different six hypothetical scenarios in school. Children discuss what is happening and whether the examples involve a child acting in a passive, an aggressive or an assertive manner. Includes title cards for sorting into hoops or columns, as well as definitions of each behavioural type. The cards lend themselves well to small group discussion and for emotional literacy support. Perfect for friendship and self-esteem building.

Conversation behaviours sorting cards (x 5 pages). Pupils sort a range of behaviours according to whether they suggest passive, aggressive or assertive communication styles. Perfect for social communication groups working on friendships, relationships and self-esteem.
