What’s included? This download includes two black and white versions of number lines to 20. Each page shows four ‘zero to twenty’ number lines one with vertical black counting tracks (above), one without - both in landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? These simple number lines to 20 have been carefully designed for pupils in years one and two as well as early years children and students needing additional learning support. Resource layout There are x4 number lines from 0 - 20 on each page with plenty of space between each number line. The numbers on these number lines are size 15 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. These simple number lines (with/without vertical counting tracks) can be used in a variety of ways though primarily to model/practise counting on and back to 20 from zero, knowing which number comes before/next or is one more/one less and are ideal to practise counting with ‘jumps’ to add and subtract numbers within 20. The landscape format provides optimal space for drawing ‘jumps’ between numbers to track counting on and back both above and below each number line. Recommendations Different numbers could be covered to encourage learners to identify which number comes before/next. The black text makes this resource easy to photocopy. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical resource, laminate to enable reuse and display as reference aid. This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation as a pdf) featuring one ‘weather words’ word search (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading ‘high frequency’ key words. Knowing these common ‘weather words’ - both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing. This word search makes the spellings clear, there are x24 words to find - a lot ! Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The weather words have been organised into four groups of six, clearly showing all hidden question words below the word search. As said, there are x24 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Words to find are; cold, frost, hail, ice, snow, sleet, cool, cloud, damp, drizzle, mist, shower, hot, dry, wet, rainbow, rain, sun, warm, fog, lightening, storm, thunder and wind. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this good way to motivate pupils to read words and while engaging in the activity learners are encouraged to focus on the spellings as they really think about the order of which letter follows which within each ‘weather’ word especially as they try to track words which are hidden backwards or diagonally within the word search!

What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 5 sums (in order) in pdf format. The answers (page 2) are in the same layout for easy comparison. Who’s it for? These ‘number bonds’ have been carefully designed for early years and pupils as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around ‘moving vans - with moving boxes’ and ‘taxis’ with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section the learner is to match the number on each house window with the number on the 'moving house’ van - drawing a line (from the ‘door handle’ dots on the house to the black dot on each moving van above the number) to connect each number bond pair which makes 5. In the lower section the learner is to match the number on the taxi with the number on the taxi rank sign which - together - make a total of five. Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Lines can be drawn on the sheet (and wiped off if laminated) using a short (15cm ruler) to show accurate matching. The numbers are size 16 ‘Avenir’ font (at the smallest - on the taxis/taxi rank signs), the headings are ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font, size 20. This PDF has been designed to print and use as practical write-on resource, it could be laminated to enable reuse. Recommendations If physical support materials are helpful to use as well small objects could be placed in each box such as small coloured matchsticks (if these are not deemed a choking hazard for little learner/s).

Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. What is it? Two items are included to download in pdf format. The ‘rectangular cards’ are in portrait orientation and the ‘counting in 10’s Matching boards’ are landscape orientation. This is a simple game for one or more players which can be played in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10’s to 100. The simple, clear instructions are included on the game cards and boards. Layout of resources included… ’Counting in 10’s cards’ There are x7 different coloured sets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’. Colours (and order) of the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ are red (page 1), yellow (page 2), green (page 3), blue (page 4), purple (page 5) pink (page 6) and grey/black (page 7). Instructions or ‘Ways to use these cards’ are included on each page. The cards can be cut out and used to practise/check ‘counting in 10’s’. The additional ‘grey/black’ set has been included for easy photocopying if using a set of these cards on their own (without the matching boards or as part of a group game). The 10’s numbers on the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ are Size 50 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font making the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. ’Counting in 10’s - Matching boards’ There are x6 different coloured ‘matching boards’ which have been designed to pair up with my sets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’. Colours (and order) of the ‘matching boards’ are red (page 1), yellow (page 2), green (page 3), blue (page 4), purple (page 5) and pink (page 6). Game instructions are included on each board. Games to play… Game to play using ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ These could be used in a variety of ways including as a game where each learner has a set of coloured cards to collect. For a game ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Each player to have one coloured set each. Cards to be placed face-down in a grid and players take turns to turn over one card. If it is a player reveals their own ‘colour’ the card is kept. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards in their colour set and position these in the correct order from 10 to 100. Treasure hunt These cards could be used for a coloured ‘treasure hunt’ where one set of cards are hidden within a specified area for learners to find, then order to 10’s numbers (once all colours in set have been found). Various other games could be invented using these cards. Game to play using ‘Counting in 10’s - Matching boards’ (with the ‘Counting in 10’s cards’)

What’s included? This download includes one resource in TWO versions - black and white AND rainbow colour themed in pdf format. Each version includes three pages (x3 A4 sheets, landscape orientation) featuring twenty separate questions (in order from pages 1 to 3) plus x20 follow up/revision questions at the end (on page 3) also in order. Page 3 also includes two boxes on the right, to record the numbers which can/cannot be split equally into half to enable learners to clearly identify odd/even numbers as an opportunity for discussion. The words ‘odd’ and ‘even’ have not been included here. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource layout This resource enables learners to investigate each number from 1 to 20 to discover whether it can (or cannot!) be split/divided/shared equally into two. Starting at 1 each box visually shows that number of pencils with two sheets of paper positioned below. The learner can draw a line from one pencil to one sheet of paper (on the left) and the next pencil in the line to the second sheet of paper (on the right), continuing to do this one pencil at a time, shared either to the left or right sheet of paper in alternate order until there aren’t any more pencils available. Underneath the image of two 'sheets of paper’ is the written sentence Half of 1 is ___ for the learner to complete (for every number). The learner can write their finding on the line to complete the sentence. Where a number e.g. 1 cannot be split equally into half therefore the sentence - Half of 1 is ___ cannot be completed the learner can instead draw a line or cross in the space, such as ‘Half of 1 is X’. Lastly, the learner can circle either the tiny image of ‘tick’ / ‘cross’ to indicate whether that number can be split in half or not. The learner can then move onto investigating the next number. Recommendations I recommend that learners explore the concept of ‘halving numbers to 20’ practically before recording their learning. Using physical coloured matchsticks or lolly sticks and a sheet of A4 folded/with a line drawn down the centre is a simple way to begin! Small coloured matchsticks could be placed on top of the pencil images each time for a learner with good fine motor control. This resource may be printed and laminated to be reused, this black and white version is a good version for photocopying. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for ‘common colour words’ (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two and maybe the early years, as well as students needing additional learning support.

Words to find are; red, orange, yellow, cream, green, turquoise, blue, pink, purple, brown, grey, black, white, silver, gold and rainbow. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify).

What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 10 themed around postal delivery. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as perhaps some children in year two or students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around a ‘postal’ theme with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and real life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks with a numbered main door. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with a number and that same number of letters (envelopes). The learner is to match each number on the postal vans with the number of the tower block by drawing a line to connect each number bond pair (which makes 10).

What’s included? This download includes two A4 pages (landscape orientation) with x10 number bonds to 10 (in random order) themed around postal delivery. These number bonds to 10 have been arranged in random order and without numbers (on the vans) making this more challenging than my other very similar item available (for free!) in my TES shop ‘Number bonds to 10 ‘Post vans’ in order Link and match’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as perhaps some children in year two or students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed around a ‘postal’ theme with 'vehicle lovers’ in mind as to motivate our learners linking to personal interests and real life experiences wherever possible can be a powerful way to inspire and engage. Resource layout Page 1 In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks with a numbered main door. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with a number and that same number of letters (envelopes). The learner is to match each number on the postal vans with the number of the tower block by drawing a line to connect each number bond pair (which makes 10). Page 2 Shows all number bonds matched (the answers) clearly displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference.

What’s included? x8 sheets (activity and answers) for Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is now available in my TES shop if you like/d this one. How to use it? Each learner needs to cut out x12 ‘phoneme pictures’ and match x2 of these ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left of each sheet). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out. Resource Details… I split ‘phase 2’ into four sets, one set per sheet. Not all phonemes are ‘initial’ letters (in sets 3 and 4 here) - so learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused. I have made which sounds these are ‘bold’ (below) for your quick, easy reference… I will list the answers here in case they are not obvious! Set 1 s - scissors, snake a - apple, avocado t - torch, tractor p - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) i - ink, igloo n - narwhal, needle (NOT ‘pin’!) Set 2 m - mouse, milk d - dog (daschund, ‘double d’ !), dinosaur (diplodocus, also ‘double d’ !) g - glasses (green - ‘double g’ ! ), goat o - (orange) octopus (double ‘o’!), orange c - cat, clock k - key, kangaroo Set 3 ck - sock, duck (‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - elephant, egg u - umbrella (upside -down ‘double u’ !), up (stairs - arrow indicates this) r - robot, rainbow h - horse, house b - balloon (blue - ‘double b’ !), bee Set 4 ck - truck, black (‘ck’ is reinforced (repeated from ‘Set 3’) instead of leaving a gap) f - frog, fish ff - giraffe, coffee l - lemon, leaf ll - bull, ball ss - grass, dress Recommendations Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. I find a small, flat (shallow) container is helpful for each learner to have if a group are working on the same activity set at the same time (to stop cut-out pictures becoming muddled up). Each different set here is a different colour to help with this. However, if learners only cut out one picture at a time there shouldn’t be an issue with losing any pictures. Tiny ‘word labels’ which can be cut out and added to the ‘phoneme pictures’ to ‘’extend’ the activity (page 2, lower right side). I feel it t is best, however, to complete the phoneme/grapheme matching first (without word labels initially) to encourage learners to think about the sounds in each word more carefully.

What’s included? This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, in pdf format. What is it? This is a simple game for two players to reinforce 2D shape names and the number of sides each shape has. The game includes two boards on page 2 (one for each player) with a space for each player to write their names on the line above. All that is needed in addition is a die (dice). One to share is best to promote turn-taking. Players take turns to roll the die. The number on the die indicates the number of sides of the shape e.g. a circle has ‘one’ side therefore if the player rolls a ‘one’ with the die the ‘circle’ can be ‘ticked off’ on the board. Alternatively a counter/‘matching 2D plastic/wooden shape’ could be placed on top of each shape on the board once the shape has been ‘rolled’. The first player to tick off (or cover up!) all 2D shapes on their board is the ‘winner’ ! Clear visual instructions are included on page 1 of this resource which the players could be encouraged to read themselves before playing the game. Who’s it for? This ‘2D shape name game’ resource has been designed for early years and pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s needed? One die (dice) to share or one each. Foam dice are great as really quiet! Optional A shallow box, e.g. half of an empty cereal box laid flat on its back with front removed (ideally lined with a piece ‘felt’ fabric to soften sound) to roll the die into could be used to avoid dice rolling away (e.g. off a table top). This should avoid any momentum of the game being interrupted while searching for lost dice ! Resource layout The instruction text is size 14 ‘Avenir’ font. Instructions are included on page 1, the game itself (x2 game boards) are included on page 2. Recommendations This PDF has been designed to print and write-on. It could be laminated and a dry-wipe pen used to enable reuse and improve durability. Useful for… I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.

What’s included? SET 2 x6 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - m d g o c k). Landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (2) has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 2 (set 1 - s, a, t, p, i, n) in same design is now available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? The adult can pre-cut the x10 rectangular shaped puzzles - pages 1 and 2 (grey dotted lines guide where to cut) to separate them from each other. The adult can also cut the orange dotted lines to separate the segments of each puzzle itself. Picture/word puzzles Each learner needs to match up the segments of each picture/word puzzle to complete the x10 pictures and words - all words on the ‘picture/word’ puzzles are made using only the ‘m d g o c k’ letters/sounds. Once the puzzles are complete learners can use these as a reference to complete the x10 sentences (pages 3-6). Extension/follow-on sentences… There are two versions of the same x10 sentences to complete. A larger format (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen). The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x10 sentences but ‘all on one page’ for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’. Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details… The sentences include high frequency words ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘this’, ‘is’, ‘go’, ‘on’, ’can’. The sentences also include the word ‘spade’ (with an image of a spade directly above this word), ’peas’ (with an image of pod with peas in/outside of it directly above this word) and ’hot’ (with an image of pot with steam coming out of the spout directly above this word). The sentences included are - ‘A pink _ _ _’. (pig) (‘pink’ can be sounded out) ‘This is a hot _ _ _ ‘. (pot) (‘h’ in ‘hot’ may not have been introduced yet) ‘This is a _ _ _ ‘. (dog) ‘The _ _ _ _ can spin‘. (cogs) (‘spin’ can be sounded out) ‘Peas in a _ _ _ ‘. (pod) (‘peas’ may be tricky) ‘This _ _ _ can go on top’. (cap) Question ‘Where do we put a cap?’ could be asked (on top of a head!) ‘A cat sat on the _ _ _ ‘. (mat) (‘cat’ can be sounded out) ‘The spade can _ _ _ ‘. (dig) ‘The _ _ _ can stand’. (man) ‘This is a _ _ _’.
