I have worked with many children over the years that have been SEN identified that are actually slow learners. The curriculum demands a lot from these children and their teachers. So I am trying to create “Active Learning Sheets” that can be used by all abilities to encourage independence. These will give plenty of practice of key skills as well as learning the key elements of the curriculum without having to take time out of the classroom. I try to use real life examples for imagery.

Descriptive writing starters

Plants - learn to spell and label

(0)
This activity is intended to allow children to correctly spell when labelling a plant. Allowing children to label by sounding can file the wrong spelling in their brain and they never break out of the bad habit.
What Easter means to me

What Easter means to me

(0)
This activity is intended to allow the child to demonstrate what the festival of Easter means to them without imposing the Religious side of Easter. However, it still shows that Easter is a Christian religious festival that will have a religious theme for some. Children can trace over or colour in the word Easter, can trace over the titles in each box and could add their own idea.

KS1 Science – Observing changes in the seasons These worksheets are intended to be used to generate conversation about the changes in the seasons. There is an odd one out and also pictures that could be a starting point for ideas such as “reasons for wearing sunscreen”, “Why do combine harvesters reap the crops in Summer?”, etc.

Materials KS1

Materials KS1

(0)
Materials – KS1 I have produced this so that children can become familiar with the descriptive words available to them that they need to be able to read and spell for the National Curriculum Science Programme. The format for each material stays the same to aid them with the task. The chosen items have the correct words written underneath them to encourage correct spelling and can be written over for practising the spellings. The items are chosen to generate conversation about how they are made and what properties this describes, therefore.
Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Life Cycle of a Butterfly

(0)
Start with “The hungry Caterpillar” story. This worksheet allows children to copy out correct spellings (children need to spell these correctly from the start so as not to form bad habits). Another sheet gives extra practice for children or encourages others to look at other British butterflies. The first shows the life cycle of a “Peacock Butterfly”, one that children can see in the British Garden. I have included different butterflies in another sheet attached. The worksheet requires them to add arrows to show what a life cycle means (the first one having been done for them) and to copy the correct spelling underneath the pictures.
