A double sided reflection activity to help children reflect (when their mood is right) on incidents which have occurred or events which they could have approached differently. It is a chance for them to reflect and think about their behaviours. This can be useful for children with autism.

This is a supportive tool to help students recognise, show and regulate emotions. They give a language to how the young person is feeling. ‘I am feeling yellow today.’ They also give strategies for trying to overcome their mood as they can be made into a back-to-back flip pad which goes in the students pocket. Two slides have examples of mood scales. However, they need to be individualised to the particular student you are working with (see blank copies). The techniques for overcoming the moods should, ideally, come from the young person with support from the adult. If we write it in their language, they will own the techniques.

It gives a structure to their revision and at the same time, keeps it simple as they have enough to learn already. There is an introductory assembly at the start.

It looks at tax and how much money students will have to earn to afford the lifestyle they want. Lots of calculations as you go!
