I use this spreadsheet for my tracking. It includes groups that my school is focussing on and allows you to filter by these groups e.g., Free School Meals, EAL, summer/spring/autumn birthdays, etc.. It will be easy to change the column headings to include groups that your school is focussing on.\n\nThere is a tab for each of maths, reading, literacy and science.

Four powerpoints covering the split digraphs o_e, i_e, e_e and u_e. \nFirst slide - revise\nNext - teach using 2 examples\nFinally - practise using 2 examples\n\nUp to you to decide on the apply stage!\n\nSorry there are no a_e slides, the children have not encountered ae as a grapheme so it doesn't apply to this strategy for teaching split digraphs!

My class enjoyed Frooby so I did another one for them. This time focussing on halves, both numbers and shape.

<p>A silly little story but my class loved it and it helped to highlight and address some misconceptions. Can be used as an intro or in a wrap up to look at doubles and halves.</p>

I put together this flyer for parents asking how they can help their children at home. It includes a brief overview of the Phase 5 phonics taught in this term, some ideas for phonics games and also some website address for online phonic games.

I put together a flyer with some Year 1 maths objectives that parents can help their children with at home. There are some maths game/activity ideas and also websites for some online maths games matched to the objectives given.

Our children have a target of being able to tell a number story from a given number sentence. The first slide gives the children a number story and relates it to a calculation (which follows on from their prior learning). Aligned with Common Core State Standards: 1.OA.1, Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

The children in my class were hopeless at tidying up at the end of a lesson. I wrote this song to remind then of the tidying up roles and to focus them on the task. It has worked a treat! (PS Sing to the tune of 'Pop Goes the Weasel'

These pick and mix ideas for writing give meaningful contexts for children’s writing whilst learning at home. The ideas are open-ended enough that they will be suitable for most primary year groups.

I set this up as an independent colouring activity for the children which can be used for assessment. Children colour in and circle the light sources and then colour in 1-4 lightbulbs depending on how bright the light source is.

The first two columns of the document contain assessment criteria linked to a simple task or questions. A third column is for assessor's notes and students responses as evidence for grades.Covers assessments of money, adding, subtrction, geometry, measurement

Two differentiated Venn Diagrams for use with KS1 children or less able KS2 children. The first sheet sorts on a single criteria (whether the animal is nocturnal or not) and the second sheet sorts on two criteria, with overlap (animals that live on land/water). Also don't miss the opportunity for discussion around animals that go outside the circles on the second Venn Diagram!

Use these scenario cards to generate discussions in small groups and support your pupils in understanding the choices they can make and the consequences of these choices.\n\nDifferentiated with simpler two choice scenarios, a three choice scenario and one scenario where a choice is left blank for the children to decide what other choice could be made.

Looking at prefixes (un, sub, dis and mis) and how they change the meaning of the word.

Introductory powerpoint on Martin Luther King Jr, in particular his 'I have a dream&' speech, leading up to a poetry activity on writing their own speech/poem of what they would like to see in an ideal world.\n\nContains two hyperlinks to youtube videos.

One week’s worth of maths mastery planning for Early Years based on number bonds to 5. The planning includes variation, overlearning for those who need it and opportunities to go deeper for more able children. My TA and I are enjoying teaching maths using this format and the class are enjoying the Numbertime activities. I hope your children enjoy them too! This free resource includes a week’s worth of maths planning and a hidden number PowerPoint game. All of the printed resources that go with this planning are available as a download for just £3 which you can access here.

A game to help students practice their high frequency keyword spellings. The first page - the game board - should be blown up (I've laminated my copy). The keyword pages should be copied onto cards and cut up. You will need a dice and a counter for each child playing.
