Cooking is back on the national curriculum for all primary school pupils from September 2014. Not only does practical cooking develop essential life skills and healthy eating habits, it also offers an exciting, real-life approach to learning in all subjects, as recommended within the School Food Plan's headteacher's checklist. Focus on Food developed this set of resources to show how elements of Maths and English can be delivered in a hands-on and engaging way through cooking activities.

An early reader PPT with animated text and pictures from the movies. Created for a reluctant reader who was a keen Harry Potter fan. The resource uses mostly decodable words up to phase 3 with a small number of sight words. The character names are included but with picture cues to aid recognition. For Reception (HA), Year 1 or Year 2, this is a lovely way to inspire enthusiasm for reading in the classroom or as a printed version.

As an Early Years Leader, I use this Powerpoint on a yearly basis with 90 parents who can then support their children at home. It includes sections on: How literacy is progressed in a cross curricular way in early years. Speaking Phonics and reading writing - with examples of writing progression. How parents can support their children at home. The Powerpoint can be edited as needed. It is about 20 pages long and the training normally lasts an hour.

The assessment PDF includes: checklist for individual students. table with upper case letters for identifying the names of the letters. table of lower case letters for identifying the most common sound of each letter. table of pictures for students to identify initial sounds. blank table for students to write the words from the checklist. table of CVC words for students to read. It is anticipated that by the end of Kindergarten students are able to name the letters of the alphabet as well as identify their most common sounds. It is also anticipated that they are able to read and write simple CVC words using their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes. This resource enables teachers and parents the ability to monitor the progress of individual students towards the attainment of a sound understanding of the content descriptions ACELA1440 and ACELA1820. If at the completion of the year students do not have a sound understanding of the content, their checklist can be handed on to their new teacher. This continuity is advantageous for both students and teachers.
