My store has a range of resources in Speech and Language, SEND and Computing. It includes an Advanced form of 'Colourful Semantics' which I called 'Colourful Speech' which I developed to be used with one-to-one, small groups and whole class teaching it spans across the curriculum. It helps children to understand grammar and word groups as they progress through their learning journey. I love creating bespoke resources to help children with specific needs.

Show the MP4 or Slideshow to introduce this topic. It can be used as a full class pack or to support small groups or SEN children. The worksheets introduce sentence structure focusing on nouns, verbs and adjectives. The pack can also be used to assist creative writing, it is linked to The Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle. I hope you enjoy using this resource as much as my KS1 children have.

These resource is part of my Colourful Speech range which helps children to enjoy and understand sentence structure. However it stands on its own as a fantastic learning resource covering Minibeasts.
Colourful Speech- I wanted to create a scheme that was not only suitable for SEN children but could also be used in whole class and cross curriculum learning throughout the school.
Social Story- A story that helps a child to understand a situation or event.
This is a story I wrote one evening for a six year old girl I was working with.
It is very basic and the illustrations are very simple.
It helped her to understand that, making up stories about other children could upset them.
It helped her to understand that, making up stories about other children might make her feel uncomfortable.
It helped her to understand that, making up stories has consequences.
Writing bespoke stories, targeted at an individual child, can quickly deal with issues that arise.
Stories shared in the classroom or at home helped us to work as a team.
Bespoke, targeted, Speech and language resources, address the needs of an individual child.

I created this Social story, Poem & Workbook about a boy who is struggling with school to help the many children who are finding life difficult at the moment. It could be used in one to one, group or whole class situations. It includes a short open ended text, a poem, discussion cards and a workbook.
This workbook is an irrefutable, supportive tool for children who are finding every day life challenging. It could be used with children who have missed school and support with transition due to covid, or children who are on the Autistic Spectrum or struggling with communication/Speech and Language, to talk through how they feel. It is an essential resource for educators packed with creative ideas and resources for busy teachers. It has easy to read content and a vast array of activities that support in teaching young people to identify and understand their feelings and sense of self. It supports discussion and empathy from different perspectives on how to live with difference, communicate well and develop a sense that they are part of a community. It is an inspirational approach to education, an incredibly useful tool in the classroom and for life.

The Colour Monster books by Anna Llenas are wonderful and I have been totally inspired!
I have written some poems to use along side the stories and added a couple of extra feelings.
This pack includes 9 original poems covering different emotions such as, happy, sad, angry and calm.
I have made wordmats, worksheets and pictograms to support using these books throughout the curriculum.
I hope you enjoy using these resources and will let me know if you have any suggestions to improve them.

It is vital that we teach our children to keep safe online. Hopefully by sharing this resource you can help to give your children the knowledge to keep themselves safe while enjoying the Internet. These resources have been developed over the last 11years but due to their nature, they are always a work in progress.
It is part of my Communicating, Collaborating and E-Safety planning (DL-CCE)
Children learn how to communicate and share information in a variety of different ways.
They learn how to stay safe when using the Internet and how to keep personnel information private.
They talk about current issues such as Cyber bullying/friendship, mobile phone use and sensible and safe use of all Technology.
They also talk about being aware of how long they spend using this Technology and how they can take ownership of their usage.
They discuss ‘The right to be unavailable’ and talk about turning off mobile phones and other devices.
We try to help them understand that social networking is a wonderful way to communicate but that it can be time consuming and demanding if not used carefully.
I hope these resources help you to ensure that your children have the knowledge to keep themselves safe and the tools to deal with problems or dangers that arise.
WW1 Autograph Book
This is my Grandfather’s First World War Autograph book and a very treasured possession. Due to its age this book does contain writings that would be considered controversial today.
However it gives a unique opportunity to see autographs collected in 1918 and a rare insight into how people felt at the time. Some of the images are not politically correct and you may need to choose which ones to share with your class.
This Autograph Book belonged to my Grandfather so it is very special to me.
He fought in France from January 1915-October 1918.
This Autograph book was written 1918.
Some entries are funny, some are sad and some make you think.
There are also some lovely drawings, one ‘The Coming Generation’ refers to the formation of the RAF.
