This pack contains a thematic monthly plan covering all five PLUs. I have included some bonus worksheets for personal care as well. The activities/plans are designed to lead up to an event at the end of the month that the class/group will run. This is a FREE taster pack. I have other units of work in my shop - I’ll be adding to it month to month.

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

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.

These two activities are from a larger resource that spans two weeks of activities. It is an L2LP project book including: teacher handbook, lesson plans and resources. It ties learning outcomes from Literacy, Living in a Community and Preparing for Work together. Each student resource has the relevant codes for ease of organising folder evidence.

Contains: A ppt to introduce what puberty is with visual aids. A worksheet for labeling changes that occur in puberty in both male and female bodies. A worksheet to annotate part of the male reproductive system. Please note: worksheet contains a link to a HSE video on male reproductive system.

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.
