A great way to discuss the different emotional vocabulary needed on a day to day basis, by linking it through the commonly used emojis found all around us. Asking the children to discuss the emojis and to justify this based off the facial expressions of the emojis is a good lesson in understanding that difficulty of reading an emotion on the surface.

Lyric Analysis sheet for the song ‘How Far I’ll Go’ by Auli’i Cravalho from the Disney film Moana. The first sheet is about highlighting and analysing the lyrics with space to make notes. This can be used to think about the year ahead, goal setting or the concept and emotions of curiosity and exploration. The second sheet is then to set targets, expectations, goals or hopes for the year ahead. The image in the first resource does not belong to me and credit must be given to Disney but was found through a Google search of free images. The image in the second resource was sourced through VectorStock Images.

A resource designed for inward reflection around Christmas time. To look beyond the materialistic aspects of Christmas and find what makes our own heart grow, just as The Grinch’s had. Christmas can be overwhelming for many adults and children and focusing on the things that make us happy, content and loved during these times can be helpful. A word mat is provided as a guide to support those in sentence creation. Adapted this year (2022) to include the idea of thinking about parts of our bonnie wee Scotland that makes our hearts grow, to be used as Christmas cards for those newly settled in Scotland.

A very simple scrapbook style resource for the children to cut and paste items from a supermarket Christmas magazine to create a menu on a budget. There is space on the cover for final calculations to be tallied and space for a starter page, a main page and a dessert page. I kindly ask in Lidl or Aldi to have enough booklets for one between two and then the children can work in pairs with varying budgets from 20 to 100 pounds. If you can, share examples of your learners work on twitter @InTechnicolour or Instagram @TeachingInTechnicolour Thanks, Nicholas

Using two songs from The Muppet Christmas Carol, you can analyse the change in Scrooge from before and after his visits from the ghosts. Firstly watching and exploring the song ‘Scrooge’ you can ask the children to highlight and analyse lyrics that stand out to them. Secondly you will then use the song ‘Thankful Heart’ and do the same. This can be displayed in a jotter or on a poster with a visualisation of Scrooge looking grim and miserable on one side and enlightened on the other. For an example of the jotter layout, check instagram for a reel showing more. As ever, I would love to see how your learners have used this resource so if possible, please tag me on instagram @TeachingInTechnicolour or twitter @InTechnicolour.
