Hi, I'm Sarah, and I've been teaching for over a decade. I graduated in 2006 with a degree in Primary Education, but have taught in both Primary, Secondary and FE settings. My resources are primarily aimed at students aged 9-16+, and are mainly resources to be used in English lessons. I try to make resources that can be easily adapted for all types of abilities and ages. I hope you find my resources useful. Please feel free to leave me feedback on my resources - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I have used this with various groups, and always get interesting and diverse results! Great practice for selecting and explaining choices. Great to use as a pair/share or whole-class individual speech task.

Used as an initial resource for work on a topic entitled 'All About Me' this resource is really useful to enable students to ask questions about their family. Have used it it with many groups, and with students who are adopted or fostered. It can be a great way of introducing discussion around the topic of families, and their diversity.
