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.

Quick powerpoint of the things plants need to grow, with bright, colourful pictures.

'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.

Hygiene worksheet with visual cues. Complete the sentences by writing in or sticking in the missing words. Focuses on brushing teeth, washing face and hair. Used in special needs school but suitable for EYFS or lower primary. Great PSHE resource.

Powerpoint slideshow to spark understanding and interest in different modes of transport

Cut out and laminate for children to match the pictures with the meanings. Quick and simple. Good group or 1:1 activity to check understanding.

Visually stimulating, lots of pictures, simple to read and understand. I made them for my secondary SEN class but perfect for primary age. Great to start lessons and recap at the end or revisit next lesson.

LO: Compare pictures of young and adult animals / Attempts to match pictures of young and adult animals This was made for my SEN class but perfect for foundation.

LO: I can find out how the weather affects what people wear. First we watched a weather forecast on youtube and talked about the symbols used. We looked at these together. The class then completed the first page worksheet. I asked the children to describe what they would say for each symbol relating it to clothes, ie "It's sunny so wear a hat". They wrote a sentence for each symbol. In small groups I gave them each a strip of the weather symbols (page 2) to colour in. They then presented a weather forecast, sticking their symbols on the map and saying what they had written for their symbol. This worked really well.

I used this in a secondary school to check the students' understanding of the story up to the end of chapter 2.

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.
