I teach a mixed SLD/PMLD class in secondary school working below the national curriculum. I use a multi-sensory, personalised approach to teaching. My background is also in early years and I think most of my resources are suitable for both as I always plan practical, fun activities.

Powerpoint for an assembly about charity. I used this in my special school. There is an activity for the students to play music linked to how giving all adds up. Simple and sensory!
Holiday/beach/seaside sensory poem on 16 bright, colourful slides. I wrote this poem myself, ensuring I used rhyme, metaphors and similies, that can be pointed out to the students and used to start their independent work on poetry. I used this in both a mainstream school with year ones and in my complex needs class at a secondary special school. Within special, I used it with accompanying sensory stimuli. The poem guides you through what sensory things you need and I have incorporated all the senses. This lasted me half a term in both mainstream and special -loads you can do with it. Plus I even did a sensory assembly with it, which all the students loved.
Useful information handouts to promote discussion about Native American Indian clothes -the patterns etc and another information handout specifically about headdresses. I gave these out to each student, discussed them in small groups and then made our own clothes by printing designs on material and headdresses using feathers. 2 lessons from these.
I use these to laminate and make into books for my secondary SEN class. The focus is initial sounds. I make the books using the letters of their names as these are the most important letters for them
Animal pictures ready to cut out. I gave them to children in small groups and called out the different ways I wanted them to sort them. We were specifically focusing on animal attributes. Eg has wings / doesn’t have wings, has two legs / doesn’t have two legs.
'Good to be me' assembly power point. I made this for an assembly at a special needs secondary school, so is either suitable for SEN or primary. It touches on feeling different and names people may get called, referencing popular celebrities who were called one thing but are now called something very different, also includes quotes and a poem. Would also work well for anything to do with bullying.
Use these as a number line, book, visual in a song etc. 10 posters of African animals in their natural habitat -all different. ie 1 tiger, 2 lions, all the way to 10 lemurs.

Front cover for a duckling observation diary. I made this when we had duckling eggs and made observations every day. The students can see the life cycle from the picture on the front cover that can be coloured in.
