This is a two week unit plan aimed at FS/Year 1 class. It has resources linked to the planning attached. I have also added art and DT ideas too.

Adapted text for writing unit - aimed at Year 2 but could easily be adapted for another year group.

This is a great resource that I have used for years. I use it to check that children are on the correct book band. These books are from reading schemes such as Bug Club and Collins Big Cat. They do have the old national curriculum levels on them but book bands have not changed since the change of curriculum so still relevant now. I then track my children on a book band tracker which I have attached to this bundle too.

This bundle contains planning, resources, imitation text, invention text and teaching points as well as word mats etc

Based on the known book “One is a snail Ten is a Crab” - children are introduced to animals with 3 legs, 7 legs, 13 legs, 20 legs etc and are given a series of challenges to extend from this idea in the book.

This bundle includes a presentation on effective transition which can be shared with staff or parents. As part of our transition programme we question the children on their interests and concerns about moving settings. I have included this in the bundle. There is also a whole setting transition planner to remind all parties about their role in supporting children in their transitions.

A starting point to help children understand making groups after working practically - can be adapted too.

Lots of ideas on how to support children with aspects of Phase 1 indoor and outdoors and rhymes too! I have also added an overview sheet to do an audit of opportunities for this area.

This bundle includes progression of skills to support children with counting and recognising patterns in numbers. I have also included a presentation on how to create provision for maths in the early years too.

Covers most of the teaching in Phase 4 !!

Ordering the instructions for how to trap a dragon.

Differentiated activities with picture clues and sentence openers to support writing the story How the Tortoise got its Shell.

I have created this intervention for KS1 classes for a group intervention. This is designed for children who have gaps in Phase 3 spelling skills. Look out for my Phase 5 version too! This is a whole terms intervention and I have seen amazing results from using these plans with small groups of children. I suggest doing a phase 3 spelling test and then picking the plans suited to the group to tailor the intervention.
