This Opposites ‘Spot the difference’ activity includes x2 landscape, pdf sheets - the activity (page 1) and answers (page 2). What’s it for? This activity has been designed to encouraged learners to think more about opposites, what these mean and identify where they are shown in the images. Learners also identify the word labels for these and match them with a simple line - using a short ruler may help with accuracy. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students needing additional support with learning. Resource Details Page 1 This resource explores the concept of ‘opposites’ through two pictures showing the same scene with x9 differences (between the pictures) to identify. These differences are all ‘opposites’. Learners draw a circle around the part of the scene where they identify an opposite, they could used a different colour for each pair of opposites. Once learners identify a difference between the picture scenes they find the matching labels below. Learners link the two opposite (word) labels using a straight line connecting these words. Page 2 The layout of this page is exactly the same layout at page 1 with the opposite differences identified in both picture scenes with a circle around the image and lines connecting the word label to make these clear. The opposites included are - on/off, up/down, sit/stand, sunny/rainy, shut/open, dry/wet, above/below, alive/not alive and in front/behind.

This download includes x1 portrait orientation pdf to make an ‘Christmas Countdown - Advent Calendar Candle’ to count down the December days from the 1st to the 24th. What’s it for? This countdown has been designed to be used for by an individual/group or class to countdown the days to Christmas. Behind each numbered flap is a Christmas image and a few related words to read. This resource has been designed to be made by or with an adult - an adult leading the way with the steps to follow and a learner reading and helping as they are able. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students with additional learning needs. An older, more able, pupil may be able to make this ‘with’ or ‘for’ a younger learner in a paired activity, working together. Resource Details Everything needed for the finished Advent Candle Countdown Calendar is included on the pdf. There are six main instructions and additional, detailed, information positioned next to the relevant parts to make what to do clearer. The overall task is to cut along the red dotted lines to cut out the main candle shape and separate the ‘flaps’ which will fold over the image (for each day) to hide it. Numbers are provided to stick onto these flaps in order - from the base of the candle up to the top. Alternatively these numbers can be written by hand instead - whatever is preferred/easiest. To make one advent calendar learners will need: a pencil (to write their name) a pair of scissors a glue stick a small ball of Blue Tac (the size of a small marble) The piece of Blue Tac will then be made into x24 teeny tiny balls which are used to secure the flaps closed until it is the date to be opened. Suggestions This pdf will need to be printed onto white card or it won’t be strong enough to stand up by itself. Double sided sticky tape might be a better alternative to secure the candle shape together instead of using a glue stick. Glue/double-sided sticky tape is to be applied to the single purple strip, positioned vertically on the right hand side of the pdf. Read the six steps carefully before starting to help make the process as easy as possible. Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.
