Example comments for the end of year reports in Grade/Year 1 - enjoy giving your brain a break!

Some examples of comments used in Grade one report cards. Can apply to Grade 2 also and transfers to UK year groups. No more raking your tired teacher brains!

A simple version of the classic game made to reinforce the phase 3 sounds. This can be a teacher led activity or independent reinforcement for more able children. A fun way to practise phonics!

Plans for ELA, MATH, SOCIAL STUDIES, ICT AND SCIENCE. Topic was dragons however math and reading covered the Common core standards without being taught cross-curricularly. A whole unit of plans for a quarter!

A writing booklet template for writing about weekend news. Includes section for drawings. I used this with Year/Grade 1 on a Monday as one of the writing activities.

A ppt game designed to be used while teaching place value with base 10 blocks. The children use a selection of 1's, 10's and 100's as well as a whiteboard and pen, to either show the number that is being represented in blocks, or use the blocks to make a given number. This is a great activity for quick teacher assessment and can be used at the start of a unit to help with grouping or at any point to assess learning so far. I used this resource with a clever little Grade 1 class, but it is easily used from year 1-6 as the numbers/blocks can be adapted to suit.

A warm up activity to briefly assess understanding or knowledge gained. Children circle the time connectives/temporal words or phrases, from a selection given. Children then add their own examples below. I used this with Grade 1 but can be used from reception/Kinder up to 3, as an introductory or end of unit quick assessment.

Children to cut out shapes and try halving them to see which can be halved equally. They should stick the shape into the table with a tick or cross to show their findings. Can be used across ks1 and lower Ks2.

A notebook resource used to support the teaching of causal connectives.

An interactive resource used to support the teaching of time in Year 3.

3 differentiated sheets. Children to work out the change when purchasing the given items.

Quarter 2 plans used in grade 3 - 7 weeks worth! Topic theme was dragons. Common Core standards covered in ELA and math. California state standards for science and the AERO standards for social studies. Lots of creative activities! Enjoy!!

A range of resources for use in The Roams topic. These were used in year 3 however are adaptable as differentiated.

A letter from the tooth Fairy, used as a launch for informal letter writing as part of a teeth and healthy eating topic. Used with Year 3 but could be used across KS1 and Lower KS2. The tooth fairy "visited" the classroom while the children were in assembly and left this along with a lot of fairy dust!!

A great thinking skills activity. Children to decide which is the odd one out from 3 given pictures, and explain their reasoning. I used this from Year 1 up as an early morning activity and also time filler. Children should be reminded that there are no wrong answers as long as their answer can be justified. I have heard some amazing ideas during this activity - enjoy!

An introduction to states of matter and changes. Resource includes an activity where the children work in groups to sort properties of matter. Used with Grade 3.

A simple resource I created for ESL children. Children need to cut and paste the solution to the problem. All in picture format. Children can then talk through the pictures. I made this because all examples I found were in written format and beyond the level of my children.

This is a pack I made for a split grade 3/4 class. It is made up of different literacy activities for them to complete based on an Ancient Greece topic. The additional reading was done via Kids A-Z although other versions can easily be used in place. The activities require the children to read and research themes such as pottery and the Olympics, but there is also grammar, poetry and art included. I have included a page for teachers with all of the video links and instructions for the week.

I am including a lesson plan and resources to accompany it, in this bundle. I recently did this lesson with a 1st Grade class (predominantly ESL) but it would work for Reception/Year 1 or 2. The non English or less able children had to draw in their answers and those who could, had to add labels. There is an evaluation for the more able children and a conclusion for the LA in order to teacher asses whether they have met their objectives. Easy to use, easy to adapt - I hope you find it helpful!

This is a cut and paste activity. Children will be given colour coded cause and effect sentences, which they should unscramble and paste in their books. Children will then shade the cause in one colour and the effect in another. I had the sentences pre-cut and in envelopes (1 set for each child). As the sentences are colour coded this worked well and also gave the children a chance to revise their knowledge of sentences e.g. starting with a capital etc. This activity was used for a LA group in Year 3 but could be used in many different ways, including pre_assessment of cause and effect, or end of unit assessment. The children really enjoyed the activity.
