Instead of buying class presents at the end of the year I set up an ‘Oscars’ awards ceremony with a little red carpet complete with childrens Hollywood handprints and give these awards out, the children love them and treasure them far more than anything else i could buy. We get dressed up in our best clothes and have a little party as well! Includes 33 different awards so something for everyone! Also a ticklist for you to keep track of what you have awarded and a template for creating the handprints. All fully editable.

This is a lovely way to revise Phase 5 and have a go at reading alien words ready for the Phonics Screening Check. The booklet includes a little poem to revise each Phase 5 sound, the children then need to look closely at the poem to find the words that have that sound in, as well as read the words in the grid and sort out the real words from the alien words. There is also a handy visualise page which I sometimes use to check if the children understand what the poem is about, it is another way of ticking off the comprehension and poetry objectives whilst still working on sounds!

A week of Literacy planning for Year 1 . The children need to write Sophies Mummy a new shopping list they then receive a letter from the Zookeeper concerned about his poorly tiger, the children are asked to design a menu of healthier foods for him. Next they get a letter from the tiger thanking them for their help and inviting them to a tea party ( I held one in class with biscuits and juice and the TA wore a tiger mask,) this prompts them to write about their own party experiences. The week finishes with the children writing thank you notes and finally a recount of their tiger tea party. All differentiated writing templates and letters (from tiger and zookeeper) included (13 in total)

An assembly for 30 children aimed more at KS1 that discusses chocolate and Fairtrade. The song we sing is called Zimbole and is on Youtube :)

1 weeks worth of English planning based upon a witch visiting our classroom during Halloween week, I set up a crime scene with a witches hat/broken broom stick , slime etc this created the basis for our writing the rest of the week. We read Room on the Broom to develop ideas further and so that the children could see witches can be nice/friendly.

Halloween is on the way and what better way to motivate those little writers than a haunted house! My class love this activity and have produced some fabulous work in the past!

Includes both editable writing templates as pictured Colour version of haunted house Black and white version of haunted house

Practise both recognising sounds and reading alien words with this fabulous minion themed game. The idea is each child has a pupil sheet and something to splat with, this could be their hand, a fly splatter or we used a ruler each. Start the game then when the sound flashes on the screen the children must find the word on their sheet that contains that sound and splat it!!! This game is lots of fun! There are 3 different versions for each game, with 6 rounds to play so thats 18 different games in total.
