Conjunctions Tube Map Display
Everything you need to create a display to remind students to use conjunctions in their writing. Designed in the style of a London Underground or tube map, each line of the map represents a different conjunction group with the stations represented by the conjunctions themselves, all colour coded. Note that the title in the middle will say ‘Conjunction Tube Map’ (not ‘Connective’). Simply print, laminate, cut and put up your display. It can be organised in whatever way you choose, but an image is supplied as a guide or suggestion. Hope you find it useful!
Literacy Long Term Book Maps
Map out your core texts with clarity and intention.
This editable Literacy Long Term Plan template helps you map your core books across the academic year.
Designed for Nursery and EYFS, it lets you sequence your focus texts term by term, link them to your themes (if you use them), and build a language-rich curriculum that values depth, repetition and ambitious vocabulary.
What’s included:
An editable long term literacy map template
Clear term-by-term layout (Autumn, Spring, Summer)
Space to organise core texts and themes
My completed plans from the last two academic years (2024–2025 and 2025–2026) for real-life examples and inspiration.
These are the actual documents I use to organise our core story approach - mapped carefully, reviewed regularly and adapted when the children need something different.
Perfect for:
EYFS teachers refining their literacy spine
Settings developing a strong core book approach
Subject leaders reviewing curriculum intent
Anyone who wants clarity without rewriting everything from scratch
Use it as it is, tweak it, or completely reshape it to match your curriculum. It’s fully editable.

Locating tropical rainforests on a world map - KS2
This lesson is part of Tropical Rainforests, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
The presentation introduces students to tropical rainforests, including some of the flora and fauna that live in them. Students then learn about the Earth’s tropical belt and the location of the various rainforests within it.
The activity challenges students to label features of a world map including the Equator, the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Students then locate 8 of the world’s tropical rainforests.
Easier - Students use a prompt map and have activity clues.
Harder - Students use a prompt map but have no activity clues.
Extension - Students fill in the missing words in a paragraph about tropical rainforests.

Hello,
My aim to help teachers reduce their workload and encourage students to love learning geography. I used to spend hours looking for blank editable maps. So, I thought I would make a bank for free blank maps. I have 50 free blanks maps available in my shop.
If you have the time to show your appreciation and click 5 stars it is very helpful for me to see what resources people need.
Good luck
:)
