I originally produced this resource to help my own children learn to tell the time. It has since been used extensively to support teaching time telling to children aged between 5 and 10 years of age.
This Key Stage 1 and 2 Maths resource provides clear visuals and activities to support children in the development of time telling skills. The aim is to encourage children to take a hands on approach linking maths and creativity in an enjoyable way.
Slides are provided in three different formats; full colour, black and white photocopiable and tinted dyslexia friendly.
New for 2018. This document provides clear advice on how to prepare for an interview and how to perform well once at interview. Ideal for use with students going for job or university interviews. Also quite useful for teachers trying to get a new job. The resource is easy to print and so can be used as a hand-out during form time or careers lessons.
This Art lesson plan continues to introduce students to three dimensional art from different cultures. The resource includes clear guidance for the teacher, homework, how it will be assessed, differentiation, resources list, cross curricular links and a useful prompt sheet for students. The lesson has been designed to last one hour. This is lesson 15 in a series of Art lessons. This lesson can be used as a stand alone lesson, or as part of the series of lesson that we have on offer. The rest of the lessons are available from our shop.
Save 91%. Support your students with the 2018 GCSE Art and Design Exam (Component 2). A range of support resources including a step by step framework for developing thorough preparatory work, a student friendly explanation of the Assessment Objectives, visuals, a guide to securing outstanding performance, review sheets and more!
Great fun at the end of term. Get kids colouring with these beautiful original designs. Also many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind.
One such activity is colouring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults.
I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm at the end of term can be found by using this resource.
