A PDF document with over 20 ideas for outdoor activities, in line with the Forest School approach to education (I have received formal training in the Forest School approach). Detailed photographs are included to support the explanation of each activity. Can also be used for staff training or INSET sessions, or simply to gather ideas to improve outdoor practice and provision.
A Powerpoint presentation featuring over 25 different ‘morning task’ activities. We’ve found this really useful to display first thing in the morning – to keep children busy learning as they sit on the carpet during Register time. Children study the scenes independently before we come together and discuss them as a whole class. Also great for those times when you find yourself with a spare five minutes and a classful of children! A selection of activities is provided, including:
*Reading Tasks – children read words and find the corresponding objects hidden in pictures
*Number Hunts – children find hidden numbers in a variety of scenes (1-10/1-20)
*Tricky Word Wordsearches – children hunt for the tricky words hidden (always left > right)
*2D Shape Hunts – children search for examples of 2D shapes in pictures
*Spot the Difference – great for Listening and Attention, Communication and Language skills
Some scenes are more challenging than others, and words in the Reading tasks are fully editable so you can make them more complex as children’s reading skills progress.
This bundle includes 12 weeks of Reception Maths planning for the Autumn Term (based on White Rose and Numberblocks approaches), as well as the resources we use alongside it (number flashcards, Numicon cards, picture cards, 2D shape hunt, bar charts etc.)
10 A4 posters for the numerals 1-10.
Each poster features a Numberblock character, a representation on fingers, and the numeral.
Please note these are not genuine Numberblock characters but a similar version that I created to support number sense.
A simple Powerpoint animation for use as a timer in the primary school classroom. Children must complete an activity before the jar fills up with marbles (5 minutes). Great for tidy up time in the Early Years, simple classroom activities or for building an understanding of time.

A large selection of price tags for use in a role play shop or Maths lesson.
The price tags feature different coin combinations for 1p - 20p, allowing teachers to differentiate their resources and to support mathematical progress. We use these both for role play shops and as a matching game when introducing money - separating the price labels from the coins and asking children to match the totals.
Includes:
Simple price tags 1p - 10p featuring only 1p coins
Differentiated price tags 1p - 10p featuring two different coin combinations, using both 1p coins and 2p coins
Differentiated price tags 5p - 20p featuring 5p coins, 10p coins and 20p coin
Blank price tag templates for children to create their own
The download includes a ready-to-print PDF file as well as an editable Word document, should you wish to create your own combinations of coins and price tags with the templates.
An interactive advent calendar for a bit of fun during the festive period. Children can click on a number from 1-25 for a silly number joke each day from a Numberblock. Great for number recognition during Maths starter activities, or whenever you find yourself with a spare five minutes and a classful of children!
