I am a Primary School teacher, currently working in Year 3 and about to complete my NQT year (which has flown by and been absolutely brilliant!) following completion of my PGCE at the University of Cambridge. As this is my first year of teaching, the majority of my resources are aimed at Year 3 students though I have a number of children with SEN so activities are differentiated many ways. Usually they follow a 'mild, medium, spicy' format with further differentiation for additional needs.

A notebook to support introduction and a series of gargoyle pictures to sketch from. There are some templates to design their own because my students went on and made ones out of clay. There are some half gargoyle pictures to use as a scaffold for LA children or children with SEN if sketching a whole gargoyle is too much!
