A set of 4 planned lessons for SEND children including objectives, activity ideas, resources, adult support and notes. Each lesson uses some or all of the 5 sheets of symbols. There are 12 symbols on each sheet. These symbols are in black and white and can be coloured in as an extra activity. The 4 lessons in brief are: My Personal Communication Board This allows children to reflect on their needs, fostering self-awareness and mutual respect. Symbolic Discoveries An engaging task that hones fine motor skills while teaching symbolic recognition. Symbolic Sorting Quest This promotes categorical thinking, symbol recognition and a deeper understanding of everyday tools and inclusiveness. Symbolic Relay Race This lesson combines physical activity with symbolic learning, making lessons fun and engaging. Boardmaker licenced.

In this activity, children will explore different symbols related to school life. They will see pictures of classroom essentials, activities, and some of their favourite places around the school such as the ‘sports’ hall or the library. The aim is to identify each image and write its corresponding word in the boxes provided. To help kick start this journey, already provided are three words for each page, that can be traced over. There are 3 pages in colour and the same 3 in black and white. Links to School, Ourselves, Writing and Handwriting, English Language Learning. Boardmaker licenced.

“Colour My Home” is a fun colouring resource designed to help children (and English Language learners) learn about familiar objects found in a typical home and associated vocabulary. This resource is structured into 10 pages, each showcasing 6 different colour objects typically found around the house. Each page features a colour image of the objects alongside a corresponding black-and-white outline for colouring and matching. Cards can be cut out and sorted in different ways e.g. by rooms, colour, inside or outside the house, furniture, electrical items and many more.

2 Worksheets, each with 12 items you might find in the kitchen. Children can name the items and colour them in. Duplicate for a matching game.

A set of slides or posters showing numbers from 0 to 10 in English and French.

This fits with any Animal themed work and is cross-curricular. These 10 sets are: Wild Animals Pets Farm Animals Birds Nocturnal Animals Sea Animals Rainforest Animals Desert Animals Mammals Small Animals and Insects Each card is an activity in itself where children can name the animals and match the names to the numbered photographs. Alternatively, I like to show the pictures on the Smart Board and give children a writing template (included) and play a time limited quiz. Very useful too, for English Language Learning.
