This worksheet guides learners in setting themselves a target for fundraising bake sale. Maths is embedded to ensure they work out the cost of making cakes, consider how many they need to make and how much to sell them for. Good for use with small groups to embed maths in employability/entrepreneurial tasks or embedding employability into maths. Simple worksheet template - can be adapted to fit different kinds of fundraising.

Adaptable for all different subjects for embedding spelling skills, this resource gives you space for four words whose letters learners will use to create further words. A simple activity, but very helpful for learners who struggle with spelling as this highlights every single letter in the word. I'd recommend that you use vocationally relevant words or subject-oriented words that you'd like your learners to be able to spell. This starter activity can support with this.

This PowerPoint resource uses animations so you can discuss how, why and when to use paragraphs with learners before demonstrating key reasons. I have connected this particular PowerPoint to the new GCSE English Language specification - using examples of when to use them with particular exam questions - but it can be easily adapted. There are also writing tasks (descriptive and argumentative) that learners can use to practise writing in paragraphs. I plan on giving my learners a choice between writing to argue or describe, depending on their strengths as shown by previous assessments. I've included an initial definition and word origin of paragraphs - which can create discussion on how we "logically" section everything in our lives - departments at school/college, races/genders, food types. This can embed some E and D as well as giving learners a different perspective on paragraphing and "sectioning" their writing.
