A workbook for a project on stop-motion animation. I have also included a file which detials how the project can be integrated for Junior Cycle Level 3, L2LP and JCSP outcomes (Irish Curriculum). You will need the free Ipad/iphone app: Stop Motion Studio to make the films. Very easy to use and free! This could also be used by upper KS2/SEN KS3 in the UK Curriculum. It’s differentiated by outcome and more challenging aspects can be edited/omitted entirely from the workbook.

Diary Writing or Comic Strip Writing lesson, includes worksheet and stills from the film for students to sequence if they require the support or choose to make the comic strip option. For some very low ability SEN students, they have simply selected a still from the film and written a sentence about it/told an adult about that part of the film. Very diverse uses for this resource over the years! Video is easy to find on youtube.

Plans (including objective and Success Criteria) and resources for War Poetry unit. Originally created for Low Ability Junior Cycle English group (SEN GCSE). Could be used for upper KS2.

Complete lesson designed for Irish L2LP Personal Care Nutrition outcomes. Students use knowledge of nutrition to create a lunchbox for an athlete. Would also be suited to UK ASDAN Curriculum.

Worksheets and presentation around giving opinions - can be done orally or in writing. Designed for Irish L2LP curriculum but could be used for UK ASDAN curriculum.

Designed for Speaking and Listening as part of L2LP literacy outcome 1.2: Asking to obtain information. These can be used as laminated scripts/prompts to revisit over the year or evidence worksheets. For one month, I had ‘phonecall time’ as part of our timetable every week. These were used to support students practicing phoning local businesses to get information.

Teacher notes: We had a week where we practised making phonecalls to different kinds of businesses. I printed out these cards out and students wrote on them in whiteboard markers. This meant they could be swapped around day-to-day so students did different ones each day of that week.

Designed for L2LP Literacy Learning outcome 1.2: ASking Questions to obtain information. There are five games based on Where’s Wally. Simply print and laminate two copies of each for students to play in pairs or with an adult. I have used these for a week of oral language - one game for each day. Learning Outcome code is noted on the sheets.

Three different menus with a worksheet to go with each. Students read menus and select the items they would like to buy. There is a bonus question around working out change. One activity involves making change from €50, another from €20 and another from €10 so that you can differentiate within your class.

One month of L2LP planning for all five PLUs. You get: a thematic monthly medium term plan and PLU specific plans for the month, all tied together with the end goal of running a Halloween Bake Shop.

Plans (including objective and Success Criteria) and resources for War Theme News Reports unit. Originally created for Low Ability Junior Cycle English group (SEN GCSE). Could be used for upper KS2.

Presentations and worksheets designed for Irish L2LP curriculum - Personal Care - Food Safety. Would also be useful for UK ASDAN curriculum.

Presentation and worksheets designed for Personal Care Section of Irish L2LP curriculum. Would also be relevant to UK ASDAN Curriculum

Webquest Worksheet for students to practice their googling skills and find information about Liverpool FC.
