more interesting words for basic colours, in right colours ready to print and cut out for display. I plan on making a colour rainbow on my wall with these on. Some of the words are quite difficult but it's good to aim high!

worksheets and activities, with planning to link to Katie Morag topic, differentiateed activities for children to show their understanding of physical and human features of a landscape. Children choose which activity they would like to do - colour coding a drawing of Katie's Island, cutting and sticking different picutres of features into the correct column on a table, or using a sheet of useful words to write their own sentences to explain the difference between the two types of feature. Two other activity sheets are on here to use with this lesson as well, under physical / human

Linked to a topic on the sinking of the Titanic, children are asked to compare and contrast clothes from 1912 and now. Lots of photos of different social groups and activities that require specific clothing to look at. Links well with an activity making paper clothes for paper dolls (looking at how many layers people used to wear).

A simple assembly ppt to work through. You will need a cd with the hymns on (Thank you Lord for this new day) and (He made me) and a way to play seaside, forest and thunderstorm sounds: I am using a free white noise app on my Iphone with a docking station. Also a selection of sensory natural items for childen to explore (sand, waterm leaves etc).
