Week 3 planning for a reception class. This links to the progression document and recently updated Autumn 1 Medium Term Plan. This pack includes an overview of the week showing when we teach, how we distribute staff, a continuous provision plan, a literacy plan, a maths plan, the challenge page to match our challenge mountain and our guided reading learning. Communication and Language, PSED, UTW and EAD planning can be found in the Autumn 1 MTP. The weekly theme for this week is: Pirates Focus Book: The Pirates Next Door

A lovely resource pack as shown on my Instagram. Includes A3 printouts of the colour board & ‘Colour Detectives’ sign… Great to support mathematical concepts such as colour recognition, sorting and comparing size

Use these pattern boards to get your little ones fingers moving! A great resource for fine motor skills… Laminate your boards and add some loose parts The children can add resources on top of the pattern (such as buttons, beads, gems) As seen on my Instagram - miss_e_early_years

A blank, printable Gattegno chart that goes from ten millions to thousands so useful for the primary maths curriculum!

Year 6 - 20 for the Day - Daily Arithmetic Questions with Answers - Completely Editable in Microsoft Powerpoint format 600 Questions in total - 30 sets of questions to last for a full half-term / 6 Weeks Tailored to the UK National curriculum for Year 6 in preparation for End of Key Stage 2 Assessment (SATS) Can be used as an on-screen activity or a printed resource to go in exercise books Ideal for lesson starters / early work / revision / assessment

Year 6 Arithmetic Tests with answers, written to fit on one A4 page. Based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Papers. I use these tests as revision for my Year 6 class. After much searching, I couldn’t find any Arithmetic practice tests that fit onto one page (to save on photocopying!), so I decided to make some. Each test fits on to one page and comes with the answers. They are all based on KS2 SATs Arithmetic Test questions. The tests download in both PDF and editable Word formats. There is also a front cover, which I use when putting all the tests into a booklet, so my class can keep track of their scores improving. I hope you find them useful and it saves the trees/you some photocopying time!

Week 4 planning for a reception class. This links to the progression document and recently updated Autumn 1 Medium Term Plan. This pack includes an overview of the week showing when we teach, how we distribute staff, a continuous provision plan, a literacy plan, a maths plan, the challenge page to match our challenge mountain and our guided reading learning. Communication and Language, PSED, UTW and EAD planning can be found in the Autumn 1 MTP. The weekly theme for this week is: Superheroes Focus Book: Supertato

This week our focus is still to settle the children, model the provision and get to know them! So there is NO FORMAL LEARNING planned. Here you will find some ideas for circle time and continuous provision enhancements based on the topic ‘All About Me’.

For this week we have our children part time so our plan is much more simplified. There are circle time ideas and adult-led activities to support baseline assessments through age-appropriate activities. There are also a range of continuous provision enhancements to engage children and again, hit some of your baseline assessments through play - none of that RBA iPad assessing here! Weekly Theme: Starting School Focus Book: The Colour Monster Goes to School* I know that there is some controversy regarding using the Colour Monster due to the black colour monster being associated with fear. In this version of the Colour Monster, the black colour monster only appears once. There is no reference to black representing fear but the words spooky and scary are used on the same page as the visual of the black colour monster. In our book we have coloured over him in grey paint. In the activities that we set out in class, we have removed the black monster entirely. We have chosen to continue to use this book as the children engage well with it, it approaches the subject of starting school well and promotes good conversations with our young learners.

This project based learning resource is an engaging Geometry based Math mini project revolving around designing a Gnome village or town using isometric paper and is a great back to school or end of term activity. The project lasts up to 5 lessons plus there are additional problem solving worksheets that could fill 2 more lessons. Includes fun geometric tasks, bursting with mathematical concepts and math skills such as isometric drawings, 3D shapes, elevation drawings and plans. It also offers opportunities to be creative and to develop number problem solving strategies. I’m certain you and your students will enjoy Gnome Homes. My students always love it and still talk about it years later! The aim of the task is to create all the 15 different shapes out of 4 Multilink cubes and then design a Gnomes village using these shapes as buildings. The village/town must be decorated in a theme and as this can be set as a competition within the class or year group, the student with the most creative Gnome Homes, wins. Not only must students design their village, they must also work out the costs involved with each building relating to the ground rent, paint for the walls and tiles for the roofs. There are activities and problem solving questions based on the task, that are available for students who need extension work. Finished products can be laminated for a super wall display. Can be set as a class or year group competition and entries displayed. What’s Included Teacher Guide Starter activity Printable Isometric Paper Examples of previous work Student worksheets Problem Solving Tasks Answer Keys **Here’s what others say ** “Students completed this at the end of the year and loved it. The directions were really clear and I love the built in differentiation. One of their favorite activities of the year!” “My students’ creativity really came through with this activity. I had gnome villages with everything from carnivals to an IKEA store. The real-world connection of costs of building was great.” “This was a super fun project for my enriched students. They were engaged and practicing without even realizing they were.” “Amazing resource!”

This is a bank of Year 1 report comments for reading writing and maths to use in mid term reports. Differentiated for all abilities.

In line with WRM Year 1

A baseline assessment linked to my progression document. Following checkpoints and statements from Development Matters, aged 3-4 statements. Many of these activities can be done through teacher assessment observing children in play but also through CP enhancements and play-based learning. No RBA tablet-style assessing here!

Can be used to match colours and develop fine motor skills Can also be used for a numeracy activity Includes 7 monsters - Red, Pink, Yellow, Grey, Blue, Green & Multicoloured

This worksheet covers rounding numbers up to 1 million to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000.
