Hello! Thanks for viewing my shop. I've been teaching now for over 10 years and was a teaching assistant before that. I'm currently teaching Year 3/4 but have taught in EYFS, Year 1 and 2, & Yr 6. I've worn many hats during my teaching career and I'm now deputy head of a small but ever growing successful first school!
I love creating resources that can be used to capture and engage the children in my class that allow them to really enjoy their learning.Please get in touch and leave feedback!

This resource contains 15 + activities/questions for your children to tackle. The resource looks at addition and subtraction and poses the processes in different ways to extend and stretch each child.
The fluency activity includes answers.
Also included are 4 activities that I have used to recap and check previous learning.
I have included the original word document for you to edit to suit the needs of your own class.
I hope that you and your children find this useful.
Many thanks.
Hi,
This resourse focus on allowing the children to engage in key critical thinking skills and practice their skills in place value, adding and subtracting.
The 20 questions vary from asking the children to Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction and reading and writing numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals and number names.
I’ve included a word version so you can edit the questions to suit the needs of your class.
Here’s some suggested ways to use this resource.
Cut them up and laminate them- place them on the tables and ask your pupils to collaboratively solve them.
Stick them in the children’s books and get them to answer them.
After the children have solved a few ask them to place them in order of difficulty - ask them why and what they found most difficult.
Thanks for buying this resource and I really hope that it helps your class with their learning.
Attached are 6 differentiated strips of sometimes, always and never multiplication and division questions. There are 3 division and 3 multiplication.
Each one is editable. I have used them to show reasoning skills and show greater depth.
I hope your class enjoy using them as much as mine have.
Many thanks
Hi,
This Interactive white board activity allows your children to spot the odd sounding word out and play ‘Into the black hole’…a game that sees the child dragging the pseudonym (alien word) into the black hole and into oblivion. The real words stay in front of the black hole and the alien disappear behind the center of the hole.
The game is accompanied by a worksheet that can be used in conjunction with the IWB or without.
The resource is editable so feel free to tinker to suit the sound and needs of your class. In most slides you can edit the words.
I hope that this resource helps you and your children continue to love reading and enjoy their Phonics teaching.
This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard.
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on.
These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great wen doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
The children love to be active during Phonic sessions. This activity can be adapted to any occasion/activity.
For example you could use it as a dart/arrow board or roll an object and see what word it lands on.
I have used it in trays or baskets and with many items that the children roll , e.g pebbles, die, small cubes, spinning tops to name a few.
This resource includes 5 pdfs which contain 4 boards each (20 in total).
They cover the split digraphs a_e e_e i_e o_e u_e and include real and nonsense words ( pseudonyms ).
This resource is editable.
I hope you and your class enjoy this activity as much as my class do.
Many thanks
This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds.
To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds.
You could use two boards or a die up to 3.
I hope that your class enjoys playing these games.
Many thanks for viewing.
This resource includes one game board. It is ideal for revision of angles and covering such vocab as acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles etc…
I have used this as a 1:2:1 resource and in small groups to help recap or pre teach learning.
I hope you find this useful.
Thanks
This game is great for promoting vocabulary/terminology in my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 10 PDF documents with 4 pages (40 game boards in all).
Each game board covers a range of sounds from phase 2-5 and set 2/3 RWI.
This game is a great revision activity that is fun and allows children to show what they know as well as collaborate/play with other children.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening test.
No real preparation needed. Simply print, cut and use.
To play who’s who the children need to pick a word and then ask other players questions to eliminate possible words (aliens).
Alternatively you can laminate boards and just ask children to choose a alien (word) and ask children to sit in a group to play.
Also I have used these as bingo boards for small groups (up to 4 children).
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks

Each slide is presented in a way that is friendly and bright to capture your pupils imaginations and attention!

**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time.
I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!**
I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources
This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4
Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4!
The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home.
There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge.
Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars.
I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2.
Many thanks

3 differentiated writing book marks (ranging from Year 4 expected, Year 3/4 developing and E.O.Y 2 expectations for my lowers).
1 bookmark to remind how to use speech in writing.
