Spider Man Phonics Game
I made this Spider Man phonics game to support some of the children in my class with certain sounds. The PDF attached is a game for the sounds ‘oo’ and 'ar’. I downloaded and used different fonts which you can see on the PDF version. However, this font may not be available on all laptops, so I have also attached an editable Word version of the game. The cliparts, letters and fonts can be changed easily to support different sounds.
Tricky and High Frequency Word Dice Game
A dice game for tricky and high frequency word reading and spelling practice. :-) There are 4 different ‘boards’ in the document with words from phase 2-5. The document can be easily edited and different words could be added using the ‘replace’ tool.
*Numeracy link - addition
*Scruffy is the name of our class pet :-) can be replaced to suit you
New Starters Gift Pack - Reception Children
I have created these packs for the children starting school in September to have over the summer.
Please see the cover image for the finished result.
The packs I made include:
A letter outlining what is in the pack (I stuck these on the front of the bags)
a Summer Challenge for the children to do over the summer (working on fine motor skills, fastening buttons, sharing stories etc)
a pack which has a poem about our school routine (you can adapt!), space for pictures of the school and staff
a small letter for the parents which can be included in a gift given to open on their child’s first day of school (my gift included a mini chocolate bar, tissues and tea bags and I wrote on the front 'dear parents of… please do not open until Tuesday 4th September)
a small letter to be included with a little pot of play dough (for children to work on their fine motor skills and pencil grip over the summer)
To go with these resources, I bought some paper bags, brown envelopes (for the parent gift), play dough pots, chocolate bars, tea bags and tissue packs. These can be sourced pretty cheap on amazon.
The TES preview shows my work in a different font - it is actually saved in comic sans. I use pre cursive font in my class, but I know that not everyone does! :-)

Willy Wonka Newspaper Report and Worksheets to support Literacy Lessons in Y1

I used these worksheets when focussing on the story ‘Dear Zoo’ in literacy. Lots of focus on the use of adjectives.

- Changing an animal in Dear Zoo
Bean Plant Diary! - Year One
I used this Bean Plant Diary with my Y1 class when focussing on these objectives in science:
- I communicate my findings by talking about my work and through drawings and charts.
- I use my knowledge to recognize, identify and describe a range of common plants, animals and natural events.
- I name and describe external parts or features of plants, humans and other animals, such as size of leaf or coat colour.
Describing and Changing the Characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Focus on using full sentences with adjectives.
- describing the characters from the story
- changing the characters
Pirates and Mermaids Class Assembly/Show - Suitable for KS1
My reception class had to do a class assembly in line with our theme - pirates and mermaids. I wrote a script all about a pirate treasure hunt and what 'treasure' really is - we should treasure friendship more than jewels and gold. 7 pirates go on a quest to find a treasure chest which happens to be in Ibiza! In Ibiza, they meet some Spanish pirates who have the Jolly Rodger flag on their ship. The pirates all work together to look for the treasure and come across some sea creatures and mermaids. The mermaids offer the pirates a treasure full of gold or something special that would bring them all together as friends. The pirates choose the special chest which has our class pet inside!
A lot of hard work went into this assembly script and presentation and I hope that someone else can enjoy it!
This pack contains:
* the full script and costume ideas
* a PowerPoint presentation with animation and music - all set up to play. Faces of the children can be added to animated pirate bandanas and mermaid tails (as seen in cover image)
* music to run along side (although this music is already loaded onto the PowerPoint)
* Letters home to parents to request costumes and attendance to the show

A unit of work based around the story of What the Ladybird Heard. EYFS objectives 40-60m and ELGs referred to. 6 lessons for a short term. :-)
FOREST SCHOOL RISK ASSESSMENT BOOKLET AND SAFETY SWEEP TEMPLATE
A Forest School Risk Assessment I have made for my school including a safety sweep template. The risk assessments may need editing to suit your school.

An editable game/activity for phonics/reading practice.
This is saved on as a PowerPoint and can all be edited to suit the needs of the children it is being used with - eg: changing the picture clues and sounds.

Reception Year Book
I have made a little year book for my reception class for one of their end of year gifts. I have filled it with photos from throughout the year and some selfies from the beginning and end of the year. There is a 'what my teachers first thought of me' page and a 'what my teachers think of me now'. There are also a few more pages added about what group they were in and what their favourite moment in Early Years was. On the first page I have put a picture of our class pet!
(We call our reception class Early Years! :-))
Year 1 - 2D shape homework/challenge
I have used this resource in Y1 as a homework activity or a challenge. The children are given 'clues' and have to work out what the 2D shape is.
