This is two or three lessons for EYFS classes to teach them about the Zones of Regulation. It could be split into more lessons depending on the time of year you teach it - we teach this in Autumn 1 and 2 and we often go through it really slowly with them so they fully understand what we are teaching. I have also uploaded the supporting lesson plan.

Elf on the Shelf ideas for 20 days in the classroom before Christmas. Simple and fun ideas for children in EYFS and Key Stage 1.

Classroom Labels set out in a clear, visual way to support children in continuous provision and with tidying up.

This is a template of celebrating cultural days in your school. It gives an idea of what days could be celebrated and some ideas of how to celebrate.

This document gives some ideas for carpet time activities in EYFS. Carpet Time is a great way to develop children’s communication and language skills whilst promoting a class identity. As the year goes on, children get much more confident doing these games and can do them with growing independence.

Resources for Shrove Tuesday to be used in EYFS. There is planning, input and activities for children to complete on the day.

Children in Need Planning for Friday 14th November 2025. This plan gives a range of activites which can be used on CIN and give an introduction about the importance of celebrating Children in Need.

A lovely lesson all about Ash Wednesday for children in EYFS.

A lovely, clear document about progression of maths skills across the EYFS curriculum. I have also added how we move learning forward in our maths provision in the classroom during the year.

A simple but fantastic playdough recipe to use in EYFS!

A worksheet about how to set up a teacher station role play. I us this to help remind me how the area looks and what works well in this area. It is always a very popular area.

An information document about how to set up a successful reading area in EYFS. I use this to help me set up my classroom at the start of the year and remind me what works!

12 week planning for teaching nursery rhymes in EYFS including an indoor and outdoor activity and a book link.

A helpful document to see progression of reading and writing during EYFS. I have also included the progression of provision in the writing area during the year.

Information about using the Counting Collections project in an EYFS setting. Counting Collections helps children’s development of Early Maths. It really helped develop children’s counting and subitising skills within the Early Years classroom and all children increased their knowledge.

Playdough recipe using widget instructions. My class love making playdough themselves so these steps help them to learn how to make it independently.

This is an Understanding the World lesson all about Nocturnal Animals. It gives children an introduction to what nocturnal means and then some animals which are nocturnal. It compares nocturnal animals to diurnal animals.

A simple book for children to create their own diaries of chicks in the classroom.

Little book designs for children to make their own stories. This is always a brilliant activity for children in EYFS to help them develop their writing skills using familiar stories. I often use this on World Book Day but then the children always ask for it to stay out so it can be used all through the year and can be adapted for any story the children are really familiar with.

This is a lesson on introducing Classroom Jobs into EYFS. I find they give children responsibility and a shared sense of belonging. We give each child an opportunity to do all the different jobs - it does require monitoring and ensuring children are all getting a chance. I just do it using the register and monitor it that way!

An EAD lesson all about creating Autumn Sun Catchers - a lovely lesson.
