π Food Theme π
1st & 2nd Class Autism β April Fortnightly / CM x2
This bundle includes two fully planned fortnightly schemes designed specifically for 1st & 2nd Class autism settings, themed around Food. Each plan is highly structured, visual, and accessible, with clear routines, simple language, and consistent supports to help pupils feel safe, regulated, and confident in their learning.
The fortnightlies are curriculum-aligned and cross-curricular, using Food as a meaningful and engaging theme across literacy, numeracy, SESE, SPHE, and Aistear-style learning. Activities explore food groups, healthy eating, where food comes from, and everyday food experiences, in a concrete, developmentally appropriate way that supports understanding and real-life connections.
Tasks are carefully designed to reduce cognitive load and support independence, offering multiple ways to engage through visual supports, hands-on activities, sorting and grouping tasks, movement breaks, sensory elements, structured discussion, and supported choice.
β¨ Suitable for 1st & 2nd Class autism settings, supporting engagement through clear, structured, and age-appropriate food-based learning experiences.
