A powerpoint to get children to redesign the Glasgow 2014 logo. Children first discuss the well known brand logos in the powerpoint and the various features that makes them effective. Then they look at previous Commonwealth Games logos and the Glasgow 2014 logo and the design features behind it (explanation available on gameonscotland). Children then design their own logo and cut out to put all hexagons together into one large collage.

CfE Early, First and Second level ICT planners that tie in with the benchmarks. They provide potential learning outcomes and some direction of what you could teach in each section of ICT. Some of the wording is based on South Lanarkshire Council systems but could easily be adapted for any authority. These are only suggested outcomes for each year and are fairly ambitious at points (but possible!). They follow DCS progression but are listed as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. These are my own development and are not authority endorsed planners! Hopefully they can be of use. Some basic wording sourced from Dundee planners.

A complete topic based on Spain. File contains a week-by-week planner along with all accompanying lessons, powerpoints, worksheets, videos and other resources. Each week of the topic has a theme such as food, traditions etc. Topic was designed for lower school (P2 and P3) but can be easily adapted to upper stages. Upload of one single .zip is not allowed so I have included a screenshot of the folder organisation. The PowerPoints are made in a font called ‘Appleboy’, a free one to install if you don’t already have it.

A complete set of numeracy activities to support play in the Upper Primary. These sheets are designed to go in wipe clean wallets such as SmartPals. They have been created over several years to support almost every page in the Heinemann SHM7 Numeracy textbook. Each sheet is open ended (meaning the children are never ‘finished’!) and allows children to practice the basic skills on each textbook page through play, investigation, collaboration and problem-solving. Each sheet is organised into topic folders and each has the corresponding Heinemann page in the header at the top of the page. I have found these to be an incredibly useful resource over the years at it allows one group to work completely independently while I focus on supporting another group. I also have complete sets for the Heinemann 5 and 6 textbooks in my TES author shop.
