Please note

Every child is different. Age, diagnosis or educational setting alone does not determine whether a resource is suitable.

Children may have different communication, language, attention, learning and support needs. Please review the activities and choose or adapt those that are appropriate for the individual child’s current skills, interests and level of understanding.

The pack is designed to be flexible and adaptable, rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
