Here’s my Back to School Freebie ’ My Exciting Summer’. This is a simple writing activity that can be used from EYFS up to Year Six for students to either write about their summer or engage in some creative writing and create their own exciting summer. It’s been differentiated on 4 levels Just a drawing space for EYFS or Y1 (LA) A drawing and blank writing space for EYFS or Y1 (LA) - pictured A drawing space and a small lined writing space for EYFS (MA) and Y1 (LA) A drawing space and a larger lined writing space for EYFS (MA) and Y1 A half page drawing space and a half space writing space for EYFS (HA) and Years 1 (MA) - pictured Of course, this is just a rough guideline and these templates can be used across the Primary Key Stages

I wanted to some certificates that did more than reward children for good work or good behaviour and the “of the week” certificates were born! These certificates rewards values such as teamwork and friendliness as well as other learning qualities such as creativity, mathematical thinking and exploration. Each certificate have a quote relating to the award at the bottom of the page Certificates included in this resource: Mathematician Friend Team Player Explorer Musician Inventor Artist Inventor Scientist Author Reader Star I am using these in my classroom alongside Wholehearted School Counselling’s “I am an … when” resource to let children know what it means to have these qualities and will be giving them out during our weekly Friday afternoons to take home. To use this resource, simply print either full size or 2 to a page (depending on your preference), add the child’s name and comment, sign underneath the ‘Keep up the good work’ caption and hand out! The fonts SHOULD be embedded but if they aren’t the headings are KG Blank Space and the main text is KG First Time in Forever both found on dafont!

Love Powerpoint? Same! In my class, I use a weekly PowerPoint to keep my day in order from Monday’s morning work to Friday’s Goodbye message! This helps me to structure my day and have an idea of the week ahead as well as allowing me to easily swap around lessons when inevitable interruptions occur! This resource includes … slides for use in your weekly presentation including: Morning Work Slide Lesson Slide Transition Slides Misc. Use Slides I’ve also included tutorial slides on my commonly used ‘techniques’ for creating and editting my powerpoints such as converting videos from Youtube and changing images. Please note: this resources include the EDITABLE TEMPLATE used to created my weekly powerpoints and so DOESN’T include any icons or fonts used. These can be found at Flaticon and 1001 fonts Happy PowerPointing!!
