There’s a lot of debate around using PowerPoint in lessons, it’s a bit like marmite but for me, having slide provide a sense of routine and structure both for me and the children. I find that having the same thing on the board helps to set the day and start transition between lessons. Here are the Daily Slide I use every single day with my class! This PPT Set include: Morning Work Slides Morning Meeting Slides Break Time Slides Lunch Time Slides Hometime Slides Blank Slide for editing! The fonts used in these slide are KG Blank Space (available free on 1001Fonts) and LetterJoin (KG First time in Forever is a free alternative with a similar look)

Hand Signals > Hands up! In my class, I taught the children to use hand signals to communicate various needs including needing the toilet to needing help. This has cut down on shouting out, interruptions and has even supported the children’s communication and independence! If you want to know more about how (and why) I use hand signals, feel free to read my blog post! Note: These hand signals were made using a paid resource from Lidia Barbossa Clip Art so I haven’t included all the available hand signs!

Hello. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you like what you see! These ‘meeting Numbers 1 to 10’ Display Sheets can be used to display on a maths working wall or even laminated to use as part of a Maths Rotation or even just to have for students to relate back to during lessons. Each sheet has a ditty that can be used to teach EYFS to write the numbers as well as the numbers in a dotted font for tracing. There are also nine different ways to show each number that children can practice independently or under direction.

Here’s my Fill the Gap worksheet This is a very simple worksheet that focuses on number sequencing and encouraging children to think about one more and one less. This sheet asks children to fill in the missing numbers and has a number line at the bottom that can be removed or hidden for High Attaining Students. There are three different worksheets that work as levels of differentiation: A 1 to 10 worksheet for LA Students A 5 to 15 worksheet for MA Students A 10 - 20 Worksheet for HA Students This worksheet can be used with manipulatives to increase support given. Numbers 20 - 50 to be added in the future.

Here’s my Exploring Numbers Around Us worksheet. This is a simple counting activity that encouraged children to think about numbers in real world context such as counting up children in the class of the numbers that are important to them. There are two worksheets included: Numbers in ME! which encourages children to think about the numbers that are special to them such as their age or their birthday Numbers in my Classroom! which encourages children to think about the numbers in their classroom such as the number of children with brown hair. This product was one of my first and I’m super happy with how it turned out. I hope to update it to include other representations of numbers as ten frames aren’t often used in the UK.

Here’s my Making Patterns worksheet This is a very simple worksheet that focuses on identifying, completing and making patterns. This sheet asks children to observe the patterns on the worksheet, complete it and them create their own. These sheets come with two different levels of differentiation: A sheet with missing elements at the end A sheet with missing elements throughout the worksheet This worksheet can be used with manipulatives to increase support given and gives children a chance to practice shape vocabulary.

Here’s my Shape Spotting worksheet for EYFS. This download includes 4 worksheets that ask children to either color in specific shapes or count how many shapes that can see. The objectives of this sheet is to encourage children to recognise shapes by their characteristics rather than what they know. i.e. this shape has no corners so it’s a circle. It’s useful as the shapes are in different rotations, translations and sizes so encourages children to really think about characteristics. Differentiation is in the form of the two different sheets: LA can be encouraged to focus on improving their knowledge of shapes characteristics with the coloring sheet whereas MA and HA can incorporate number skills with the counting sheet. Furthermore, one set of sheets use ‘basic’ shapes such as square, rectangle, cirlce and the other has diamonds, hexagons etc. Links to: Shape, Space and Measure Counting Numbers

Here’s a lovely display pack for teaching 2D Shapes in EYFS! Each sheet has an image of the shape, the name of the shape and characteristics on the shape in EYFS friendly language.

Dot It! - to write the letters in dots Colour It! - use colouring pens/ pencils to write the letter Cross It! - to write the letter in small crosses Stamp It! - to stamp the letter in the space Stick It! - to stick in the letter (foam letters, cut out letters) Make It! - to make the letter out of string, wool, match sticks Reveal It! - to write the letter in white crayon then reveal it in pen This is useful as it allows children to become familiar with the formation of the letter through repetition. Different means of support can be added to differentiate the activities such as allowing HA students to search for the correcrt letter stamp whilst LA students have the stamp provided.

Here’s a worksheet for EYFS to help children practice forming numbers in numeral and written form.
