Notebook, hide-the-verbs activity and worksheet included. My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs! We came back into the classroom and they thought of their own , recording on the worksheet, then came up with bossy verb sentences in talk partners. This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).

Worksheet ideal for KS1 work on seasons and tree types. Children can colour/draw the leaves on deciduous trees through the seasons, and then draw/colour the leaves on an evergreen tree. They then have the opportunity to explain how evergreen trees are different to deciduous trees.

Four powerpoint presentations to help support children in phase 6 phonics. This set of presentations moves children onto looking at the long and short vowel sounds, and how we can use these to help us tell when to use the double consonant in past tense spellings (eg. hop goes to hopped, hope goes to hoped).

Three differentiated worksheets encouraging children to think about what thoughts are ‘growth mindset’ thoughts and which are not. The easy activity involves the children thinking of things they can already do and what they want to learn how to do, the middle activity involves cutting and sticking thoughts in the right bubbles, and the harder activity involves children writing down some ‘growth mindset’ thoughts and some negative thoughts. It was a great PSHE lesson that sparked lots of discussion! I do not own the rights to any of the images used.

Three worksheets to support learning in year one on Christian symbols at Christmas. Most worksheets involve matching or filling in missing words, with higher sheet giving children opportunity to explain the significance of two of the symbols. Lesson worked well, we also had the symbols stuck on the walls around the room for children to spot and discuss in talk partners. They also matched them to the Christmas story as we read it through.

Three worksheets to help children to recognise and understand objects Christians use for worship (eg. Bible, instruments). Harder task relies on children being able to write sentences about what the objects are and how Christians use them. Middle task asks children to label objects for worship and write about how Christian use them. The lower ability task is a sorting activity where children choose which objects Christians might use and what they wouldn’t. I do not own any of the pictures included in these documents.
