Are you looking for the latest SEND and Inclusion resources or wanting to browse older ones? You can find all this on the resources round-up blog from Cheryl Twinkl with an update for July near the top 🙂
Twinkl Home Ed SEND and Inclusion Day Resource Round-up 👉 https://www.twinkl.co.uk/l/1eizjk
As usual, there's a bumper bundle of new resources and blogs. What stood out for me, however, were the Twinkl Symbols for hot weather and sun safety. I think these could be invaluable for some of our members, especially as the weather is forecast to be heating up again in the UK.
Remember to join our Twinkl Home Educators group if you're a parent/carer who's Home Educating their child or seriously considering it. You can find some conversation posts around SEND and Inclusion today to encourage mutual support and inspiration.
Join us for six weeks of learning fun as we explore nearby locations with a woolly sheep companion (or other toy animal of your choice) and virtually wander places further afield. This ewe-nique summer of sheep sharing fun can be enjoyed during the summer holidays by the whole family or at other times of the year for some fun learning in your Home Education days.
Here's the link for everything you'll need to be a Woolly Wanderer this summer: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/l/15h49k
