‘My Task Organiser’ is a fun and engaging sheet designed to help children plan and organise their school work and tasks. It is especially helpful for children who find it difficult to plan how to tackle their work. The sheet is colourful and attractive, with bright illustrations and clear instructions. The organiser includes several sections to help children plan and execute their tasks. The first section is an ‘I will’ statement, where the child can write down their goal for the task. This could be something like “I will complete my maths homework tonight.” This helps the child focus on what they want to achieve and gives them a sense of purpose. The next section is a step-by-step plan. The child can write down the steps they need to take to complete the task, starting with ‘start by’, ‘next’, ‘then’, and ‘last’. This helps the child break down the task into manageable chunks and gives them a clear plan of action. The organiser also includes icons the child can tick to show which resources they will need to complete the task, such as a pencil, ruler, or calculator. There are also spaces to add additional resources specific to the lesson or task. ‘My Task Organiser’ can be completed independently or with adult support. It is an excellent tool for children who struggle with organisation and planning, as it provides a clear framework for completing tasks. The colourful design and fun illustrations make it engaging and appealing to children, encouraging them to refer to it regularly during the task.
