Tried and Tested: All About Me Family Counters and Activity Cards

Name: Colette B (We’re going on an adventure)Product name: All About Me Family Counters and Activity CardsAge of children: 2, 5 and 7
Colette is an experienced primary school teacher and mum tothree.  She currently works part time on supply to allow her to be athome with her children and to run her award winning family life style blog, We’re going on an adventure.  

What were your initial thoughts about the appearance and function of the resource?

I love how brightly coloured they are and how easy they are to handle.  You know from the outset that both the counters and cards are going to withstand being used over and over again (either at home or in the classroom).  I was immediately struck by just how many ways the counters could be used on their own and then with the addition of the cards you’ve ramped up the opportunities for learning even further. 

How was this resource used at home?

 We started off just sorting the counters by colour – talking about their size and which family member they represented.  We have also sorted them by type, grouped them into families, ordered them by size.  We’ve practiced repeating patterns with the help of the Activity Cards and also looked at some simple algebra with the “missing number” type calculations. 

How could it be used in the classroom?

There are so many ways this could be used in the classroom.  For talking about our families and who is in them.  For sorting by colour, type. For grouping into families. For counting, for simple equations, for repeating patterns – the list is endless!

What did you like/dislike about this product?

I love them. My only niggle is the storage pot could do with being a little sturdier but we’ve just decanted them into a stronger lidded box

What are the educational benefits of the resource?

As a product which can be used independently, in groups or in a guided activity – at home or in the classroom to cover such a range of early maths skills I think the benefits of this resource are huge. 

How would you rate the long term appeal of this product?

Considering it has been played with by both my two year old and my seven year old I think there is a really good long term appeal to the product – particularly when used in conjunction with the activity cards to work on simple algebra. 

Do you feel the product is unique or different from other resources?

 Yes, whilst it bears similarities to other sorting resources, I think the “family” element gives it the edge.

Most importantly… did you have fun using this product?

 YES!

Tried & Tested - Plot Blocks™ Story Building Activity Set

Product: Plot Blocks™ Story Building Activity SetReviewed by: Belinda Robertson, Specialist Speech and Language TherapistEstablishment: Hitchin Speech Therapy

How did you use the product?

1:1 in a quiet speech and language therapy session, school based.

What was the agerange of the children you used it with?

I used these cubes and composite picture cards with KS1 children – aged 6 - 8 year olds as well as a Year 4, 9-year-old. 

What are the benefits of the resource?

  • Very portable – strong, well made picture cards and I put the cubes in a draw-string ‘feely bag’.
  • Some familiar and some less familiar scenes which promoted further discussion.
  • A fabulous resource to develop understanding and use of ‘narrative’ and storytelling. The visuals were superb at supporting the logical sequencing of events to enable students to a) plan and then b) tell their narrative.
  • I used this resource with individual students, but I can easily see how this would be a fantastic resource for group therapy as well; it would encourage and target turn-taking, social skills, focus, eye contact, listening to others, negotiation, vocabulary, narrative, higher level thinking, asking questions and inference…all in one!

 

Resource Review – Benefits of the product

  • This resource was so interactive, fun and tactile!
  • The complete and clear pictures, with good size cubes to roll (for smallish hands). The cubes have a lovely tactile feel that my students really liked.
  • I think I would like some more familiar or everyday scenes for younger children eg; fair/zoo/park/football pitch/classroom etc.
  •  Although there were suggestions for ideas how to use the resource, which were easy to follow, I was able to use further ideas and/or customise its use with individual children easily i.e. using less cubes initially.
  • The colour coding of the cubes was excellent (as was having the crib sheet on the back of the instructions).

What is the long term appeal of the resource?

One of the most useful aspects of this resource was that it could be used with a huge age range. EYFS students would like the cubes and pictures, my KS1 and KS2 children loved it. I could also see it working well with EAL, KS3 and older students and adults with learning difficulties.

Is the product unique?

The idea of story cubes isn’t unique, but coupling them with the overlays is. Very ingenious.

Spring Clean Your Classroom

The classroom setting is a place that primary school children will spend most of their time during a specific year of their school life. It is important that the environment is welcoming, inspiring and creates a space for self expression and growth. A warm and interactive classroom environment can have very positive effects on academic achievement and can also foster a strong sense of community.

Visual Appeal

Teacher’s often take great pride in creating the best possible learning environment, and when done so effectively, it will help children to develop a sense of ownership towards their classroom and their school. Warm colours such as red and green combined with natural lighting can create a stimulating environment for children to learn. Colourful displays and schedules are great for keeping organised and alleviating anxiety through visual cues.
Learning Resources Daily Schedule Pocket Chart  

Interactivity

Elements of the classroom that invite participation such as learning calendar’s and attendance charts will help children to feel part of a community and feel positive about their surroundings. Resources that give children the confidence to interact such as answer buzzers will ensure that each child in your class has the ability to speak and be actively listened to, improving self-esteem.
Learning Resources Magnetic Learning Calendar  

Sensory Input

Children discover the world through their senses, so creating an environment with a mixture of sensory resources will keep children focused. Each pupil will have different sensory preferences so it is good to tailor tasks to suit specific needs, for example creating a quiet area with bean bags and quiet music for soothing pupils that are restless.
Learning Resources Primary Science Sensory Tubes  

Minimising Distractions

Keeping the classroom tidy and organised will minimise visual distractions for your class. It can be difficult to keep track of each child’s work so organisation stations that provide a pocket for each individual will allow you to keep track of finished and unfinished work. Wipe-clean pockets are also a great way to complete paper based activities as they can be re-used and mistakes can be easily corrected which removed the fear of ‘getting it wrong’, also helping to boost self-esteem.
Learning Resources Organisation Station® Pocket Chart  

Time flies when having fun!

Keeping track of timed activities can be a difficult task, especially if the class is divided into groups. Time trackers are a great way to let children know how much time they have left, so that you don’t have to watch the clock!  With miniature options for group tasks and larger options for whole class activities; visual warnings, digital displays and sound cues help children to make better use of their time during tasks, tests and experiments. 
Learning Resources Time Tracker® Mini  Our in-house qualified teacher, Joanne Moore, has also given a top tip to help keep the classroom tidy in the long term:  â€œTidy up time music is a great way to energise students and signal when it is time to pack away. I used Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with my reception classes! After a few times I didn’t even have to explain what the music was for, the children would put everything in the right place and be in their seats by the time the song was finished.”

#stopbullying

It’s Anti-Bullying Week. The aim of this week of awareness is to make stop bullying, by making it unacceptable for everyone, everywhere! It’s important to highlight the impact of bullying on children and young people in our schools, clubs and in cyberspace. Anti-Bullying Week has been running for over 10 years and aims to just that, prevent bullying by highlighting the impact on the victim.

Anti-Bullying Week 2014 is paying particular attention to the number of children with special educational needs and disabilities who are bullied in a number of institutions where they should feel safe and supported.

One of the most successful initiatives to highlight bullying in schools, is to get the children to lead the learning and awareness activities. This has been found to encourage inclusive attitudes in students and young children.

It is also important to support people who work with children to recognise young people around them who may be vulnerable to bullying. Discriminatory language shouldn’t be tolerated. We all heard comments being thrown about when we were younger, and no matter how harmless it seems from the outside, it doesn’t feel like that way to the victim. Luckily schools and clubs are working hard to make discriminatory language a thing of the past, by educating young people to understand the real impact of all aspects of bullying.

If you’d like to get involved and make bullying a thing of the past, you can access free training and resources from the Anti-Bullying Alliance. Some schools and clubs use Anti-Bullying Week as an opportunity to raise money for companies such as ABA that help target bullying. Fundraising ideas include:

  • Sponsored sports. With this year focussing on children with special needs and disabilities who are bullied, maybe try some wheelchair football or handcycling.
  • Hold a bake-off - very seasonal and always a favourite!
  • Loose a sense - spend a day or part of a day with one less sense, maybe wear a blindfold or ear defenders.

Get social! Spread the word about Anti-Bullying week and let the world know you’re against it. #StopBulling #Let’s Stop Bullying For All!

Until next time…
