A powerpoint for a rhyming poem lesson based on a sea shanty. Also a pirate alliterate/nonsense poem resource.

Map of Australia with spaces to add labels. Extension question at the bottom. Could be useful for Y1 up using atlases etc. Space in the top box to add a Learning intention/WALT/Success criteria and a date etc. Labels include o Perth o Sydney o Alice Springs o Great Barrier Reef o Brisbane o Canberra o Tasman Sea o Indian Ocean Enjoy.

Phonics and reading plan based on the use of letter and sounds through phonics bug. Assessments are outlined, tricky words and reading objectives for each year group. A great start for a phonics lead to begin writing a program for the school to follow and adhere to.

Children to gather properties of 2D shapes within a table. Can children answer the higher order thinking questions in a sentence? or could they answer them and an adult record. All great evidence within a maths book. Aimed at Year 1 or shape intervention.

A great activity to secure knowledge and understanding of bonds. Mainly aimed at year 1 but could be used for SEN or beginning of year 2 as an assessment tool.

I used this resources to support my greater depth children to record their reasoning and to challenge each others thinking. A great resource to hit the objective ‘Use related multiplication facts to reason’

Fantastic resource with lots of uses. Children should be familiar with the counties of the UK and where they lie in relation to each other.

A Knowledge Organiser to give children, parents and teachers the key facts that need to be learned and retained. This ‘mat’ would be referred to throughout the topic. Children would be required to use vocabulary within their writing and in speech to show understanding. Key dates should be recalled.

A printable teacher planner which includes -lesson planner -notes page -medium term -daily outline -class list page -timetable print the sheets you’d like and how many to build your own planner

A great way to encourage some greater depth thinking within position and direction. A few activities to encourage the use of key words. For higher ability children the key words could be removed. For Lower ability children their answers could be scribed for them and made practical using apparatus/resources.**

A matching activity. Print and laminate, cut out the animals and match them with the correct parent/baby. Alternatively could be printed and children required to glue them into the correct places. A full word list added so children can label and name the animals too :)

Adding and subtracting 10 using a number track. Plain and simple, editable questions and text box at the top to add a Learning intention/WALT/Success criteria and a date. Questions to 20.

This sheet is based on questions provided within the cornerstones maths assessments for Y1. It also addresses the year 1 maths objectives: 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' I have also left a box at the top for you to add your learning intention/MSC/Checklist/Objective etc. Enjoy.

Pirate coordinates activity. Children use the coordinates to find 2D shapes. The children loved trying to guees what the shapes were after only mapping a few coordinates. You could do this in groups/pairs or as a single activity. Children use positional language to fill in the missing gaps in the paragraph at the bottom. To extend this activity I cut out 2D shapes (the same as on the grid) and hid them around the school. I added an instruction onto each shape to lead to the next. At the end of the hunt there was a treasure chest full of chocolate coins :)

Perfect revision before phonics screening. Phase 3 matching game. Print > Laminate > Cut > Bundle pink > Bundle blue >PLAY Pink cards 1 game - Blue cards 1 game Players place the cards face down, turn over and keep when they find a pair. Great revision tool or intervention for lower abilities.

Frozen inspired sheet to inspire children to record their own number sentence using a key. Sheet could be extended by removing the + and = and children being expected to record the whole number sentence themselves. Numbers on the key could also be made bigger or children could add together more items. 'read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+), subtraction (–) and equals (=) signs  represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20  add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero  solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = – 9.' National Curriculum. Enjoy.

Children to record different ways of making the number in the star. It could be just addition, subtraction or mixed. You could also edit for multiplication further up school. My children always come up with some great ways and this is a great way to assess the children's recall and mental ability before teaching calculation. Enjoy - If you would like me to edit or change, drop me a comment.
