Ideal for children in year 1 or 2 - a powerpoint with information about major celebrations in the Catholic Church calendar, including Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost, and a worksheet where children can draw and write in what they have learned about each one. Also link to Liturgical colour. Worked brilliantly with my Year 2 class.

Two worksheets encouraging children to think about how the great fire of London spread (focusing on materials houses were made from in 1666). Children can find the ‘true’ statements about how the fire spread, and in the second worksheet they can design their own fire-proof house. Both hand drawn (by me!). Ideal for year 2 or for strong readers in year 1.

Worksheet storyboard for the story of Noah’s Ark with missing words and a word bank to choose from. Children can also draw in pictures of the story to match the captions underneath. Good evidence for demonstrating children’s understanding of the Bible story. Worked well with my early year 2 class.

Four powerpoints that focus on teaching children about the past tense for phase 6 phonics. Children sat on carpet with whiteboards and composed their sentences in pairs or on their own, then went on to do some follow up work in their phonics books.

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).

A powerpoint presentation looking at the irregular past tense verbs in phase 6 phonics. Lots of whole class practice to get the children into the habit of using the spelling rules correctly.

Phonics presentations aimed at whole class teaching of phase 6 phonics spelling rules - this time getting lots and lots of practice using the present simple and present continuous tense.
