A unit of work on addition and subtraction. Planning and worksheets. Farm theme! :-)

I made this leaflet for parents to explain what Forest School was, what we were trying to achieve and a list of things we need to create a safe and successful Forest School. After sending this out, we had lots of donations! :-)

I sent this booklet out to lots of local businesses, garden centers and the local council. As a result, we were donated gift cards from local garden centers and £2000 from local councils and charities. :-)

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. :-)

A format I used to do some focused observations on the children over a unit of work. Diagrams used to create a visual! Great to use with SEN children. :-)

School Spelling Bee presentation! This presentation gives you a format on how to complete a school Spelling Bee competition. I have used 4 teams based on our school house system, but you can edit it to suit your school. The presentation is brightly coloured and full of animations and gifs! :-)

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

I made this resource to support my planning for a Reception class. Rather than root through the whole Development Matters document, I find it easier to just focus on the 30-50m, 40-60 objectives and ELGs (when appropriate). I have also printed this in A3 and display it in my classroom and I have sent a copy home to parents.

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! :-))

I used this newspaper report and worksheets when focussing on newspaper reports in literacy. Our theme was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The report has lots of words with 'ly' endings and this was something we needed to focus on as a class. - Newspaper report - Who, What, Where, Why, When? Worksheet - Newspaper report write up - Newspaper report planning sheet

I used these worksheets when focussing on the story 'Dear Zoo' in literacy. Lots of focus on the use of adjectives. - Dear Zoo write up - Describing the animals in Dear Zoo - Changing an animal in Dear Zoo

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.

Focus on using full sentences with adjectives. - describing the characters from the story - changing the characters

When teaching Y1, one of our themes was based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. As a DT project, we designed, made and evaluated a chocolate bar wrapper. - planning - Booklet for the project - planning, materials needed, spaces for photos, evaluation

I used these worksheets while teaching money in Y1. Our theme was 'Woodlands' and we had been doing a lot of work about plants and animals. - Coin recognition - Adding coins together

I used these worksheets when teaching time in Y1. Our theme was based around Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so one of the activities is linked to the theme! - Days of the week - Sequencing events - o'clock - half past

I used a lot of 'revision' sheets during the final weeks of the Year One year to check understanding and extend thinking. - Addition and Subtraction - How do you know? - Missing number problems - Word problems

Our Y1 theme was based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We used our History sessions to study life as a Victorian worker and compared Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory with a Victorian factory. Our class assembly was a brief, humorous representation of what we had learnt. - Script - Powerpoint with music

William Morris Computer Background project booklet complete with evaluation. William Morris Powerpoint. William Morris ICT and Art project planning.

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.

I used these worksheets when teaching measurement in Y1. The worksheets cover the use of mathematical language to do with measurement, what equipment should be used when measuring different things and measuring lengths, heights, capacity, volume, weight and mass. Our theme was 'sea side', so we finished the unit with a bag of fish and chips which we measured before eating! :-)
