There are 2 resources --> The first resource is a Fruit tally chart task. Ideally, print it out and get your students (1 by 1 or to work in groups and ask amongst themselves) to ask their classmates what their favourite fruit is - to which they then make a tally chart alongside the corresponding fruit. This will help students get the hang of doing tally charts and can also grow their confidence and being able to take turns with their classmates! The second resource is a counting fruit task. Again, ideally, print it out. But this time, this resource can be distributed to all your students (so they don’t need to take in turns!) You can also watch a video about fruits with your students - which you can then discuss more about afterwards! :)

This resource is great for your first year students! It is a word document which has already been filled out but to make this activity more engaging for your Childcare students; as lectures/teachers you can cut the table up into small groups and get your students to re-arrange it as to what they think is right. This will allow them to understand what types of personal,social and emotional skills are learned from 3 months to 6-7 years old and what appropriate activities would be suitable & why. At the end of the document, you will find a few references which I used to incorporate the information into my own words.

By using this word document to cut out the individual resources, children can sound out each letter and then blend them together to form the word given. To which they can then use the blended word(s) to help identify which word belongs with which image. Children aged between 3 to 5 years, this activity would we useful for those who struggle with blending words and sounding out specific letters like; “t”. The practitioners could use Jolly Phonics to help the children to identify the correct sound for each letter. Plus, they can give support for those who need it by using encouragement. This way, the Jolly Phonics song will encourage and aid children to do this.

This word document can be used as a poster to display around the classroom for your IT or computing (or something related to these subjects) students, so that they can get to know what the stages of the waterfall model are and the advantages and disadvantages. You can also use this poster as an example of what is expected from them (your students) when they are starting or completing criteria P2 from Unit 11 (BTEC Level 3 Diploma in IT).
