A set of construction area cards for each season! I have put mine onto keyrings and laminated as shown in the pictures and will put them into the construction area depending on the season. The download is in a4 size per page but they can easily be reduced to a5 or increased to a3 dependent upon your classroom needs. The cards contain different objects e.g. Santa’s sleigh, pumpkin, combine harvester, as well as objects linked to events e.g. a field of poppies for Remebrance/ a bee hive for World Bee Day. They are matched in style to my other construction card resources in my TES shop.

Bubble writing - non-cursive word bank Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form printed letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting. Included is a PowerPoint presentation including the days of the week, months of the year and the seasons. It is suggested that this resource is used alongside the ‘Bubble Writing Starter Pack’ available from my TES store.

Spanish Weather in Months and Seasons Presentations, Display Cards, Activity Sheets & Playing Cards This Spanish weather resource combines Spanish weather phrases with the months of the year and seasons to enable pupils to extend their conversation about the weather. It can be used as a stand alone resource, but it is also designed to follow on from the basic Spanish Weather and Spanish Months of the Year resources that can be found in the Language Magnet shop. The first slide revises 12 weather phrases, followed by a slide for each month of the year showing a different weather phrase. For example, “En enero hace frío”. Once pupils are confident with the months of the year, they can apply the same structure to the seasons, for example, “En invierno hace frío”. The presentations provide full audio support for non-specialist language teachers and the teacher can click on the sentence structures either before or after the pupils speak, to assess learning. The presentations are accompanied by two differentiated versions of a writing activity sheet to support different stages of learning. There are two sets of weather, months and season cards for students to practise speaking and listening. One set of cards has the visual prompts only and the other set provides the key words and phrases, to enable pupils to create their own sentences. A colourful set of 9 display cards for the seasons and weather is also provided with this resource to remind pupils of the language structures that they are learning.
