As an artist with 19+ years teaching experience, I have designed and continue to create resources for my students. The progress and development of their knowledge, skills and understanding is always at the forefront of all my planning. The resources are my own, and are suitable for one off lessons, schemes and/or cover sessions. Keep a look out for new uploads as I am continually researching, creating, designing and developing Secondary, Primary and Further Education resources.

A transitional resource for Key Stage 1, 2 and Year 6 ‘moving up’ to Year 7, to support them in transitioning into a new year group or class. A simple, easy to use bunting triangle for students to complete to let their peers and teacher know more about them, and ultimately, one another.
This bunting triangle is designed to be filled in by pupils with details about themselves, as directed within the bunting triangle. They can add colour too if they wish. Finally the triangle is to be cut out and put up on display in the classroom, either with string or stapled to a display board. The task is to help students get to know some information about members of their group, and feel part of their class community when displayed together.
This is one PDF document which is designed to be predominantly printed A4, but could also be printed A3 size, whichever suits the needs of the group best.

Answers are provided for self/peer marking also, if wanted.
This is two PDF documents designed to be printed A4 size and then cut in half (to save printing costs). One sheet has the word search on, the other has the answers. This task takes approximately twenty minutes to complete, depending on how good the individual students are at word searches.

A simple, introductory, easy to use sheet which engages students in finding out about one another. Pupils find different classmates to sign each section of the trail if they match the statement in the box. The task is to help students to get to know members of their class better and make new friends. They can start in whichever segment they like, but each classmate can only sign the paper twice.
