These assessments have been designed to suit any infant stages at end of year. This provides good information for passing on to next teacher and transition between stages. Also, these can be used by the next stage teacher at the beginning of the year to gauge what the pupils have retained over the summer.
The Literacy assessment should be of use to anyone working with a phonics programme, especially with Jolly Phonics. There are also sections for assessing spelling, letter formation, sentence structure, blending and decoding and tricky word recognition. This is fully editable so that if you have taught some different tricky/high frequency words, these can be changed to suit the teaching.
The Maths and Numeracy assessment covers the following areas; Number recognition and formation to 20, addition within 20, subtraction within 10, coin recognition, 2D and 3D shape recognition, number words, O'clock times.
If you would like any further information please contact me via my shop, especially if you would like to see anything else added. I will be putting online further assessments for this stage that can be used throughout the year as the pupil learning progresses.
This booklet is designed to be used during the busy December month, when often it is difficult to keep the pupils engaged and still learning!
Within this booklet are seven different challenges that will get the pupils thinking, designing, problem solving, working together and having some fun.
The booklet has the following worksheets and tasks:
Design a new toy
Design a new suit for Santa
Help the Elves task
Design a Sleigh
Christmas Alphabetical Ordering
Christmas Wordsearch and Cloze Passage
Christmas Party Budget: Money and Problem Solving activity
This is designed for KS2/Scottish Second Level pupils, although it could be adapted/differentiated for lower stages and levels.
This resource has been developed as part of a mini drama study based on Toys. This covers minimum two separate sessions with links to literacy, music as well as Health and Wellbeing. This is specifically directed at P1/2 stages.
Included in the resource are descriptors of a selection of warm up drama games and activities, an original rap song and lesson plan outlines.
All materials are subject to copyright and may only be used by the school/teacher purchasing. No time or number of use restrictions once purchased.
These phonics flash cards are colour coded by set and arranged in line with the Jolly Phonics programme of teaching in Reception/Primary One. Font used is Sassoon Infant Std. The cards are in PDF format, and can be printed and laminated, the colour coding means easy organisation into sets for a busy infant teacher! If you wish a set on a Word document, please let me know.
This topic planner and display resources are for use with a cross curricular study with a focus on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K Rowling.
All of the signs and display material requires the font Harry P to be downloaded onto your computer if they are on Word format. This can be done for free via the internet at http://www.fontspace.com/category/harry+potter. I have made a number of posters to explain and showcase the pupils work, in line with suggested lessons in the forward plan. I have now uploaded all display posters as PDFs to enable printing of font without downloading it, excepting any that would require ability to edit.
If anyone wishes to have a look at my classroom please check out Pinterest/pammyc88/Harry Potter Classroom 2016.
This has been one of the most successful full on cross curricular topics I have done to date in my teaching career and is absolutely loved by all the pupils.
UPDATE: I have added in a template in for 'A Hogwarts Ghost Story' to the pack as well as a template for using for sending pupils their Hogwarts letters, a set of acrostic poem templates and a final quiz.
This is a comprehensive forward plan for first level literacy which includes resources, CFE experiences and outcomes and group differentiation. This has been written for Primary Four but is easily adapted and edited to suit any stage working at first level.
These three activities and worksheets are a great way to start back with your class in the new term. Suitable for KS2/Second Level, with some elements being suitable for younger pupils with support.
Activities:
New Year Story starter/assessment - this story starter covers elements of VCOP and imaginative writing, giving pupils a chance to write in a genre of their choice, based on New Year's Eve.
Highlights of 2016 - a worksheet set out like a poster of polaroid photos, pupils can draw four of their favourite moments of the past year and caption them. This has been created for A3 size.
New Year Learning and Personal Resolutions - pupils can set both learning and personal targets and resolutions for the coming year, with space for them to detail why they have chosen this resolution and how they intend to achieve it.
All worksheets are on PDF.
This bundle consists of guidelines, lesson plans, activities and resource suggestions based around themes on Toys, Anger Management and Friendship.
Each theme is designed to be done over two sessions and links to Expressive Arts, Literacy and English as well as HWB.
Each individual set has been priced at £4 - £5 but for a limited time you can purchase all three for the great price of £8.00.
This Endangered Species cross curricular topic planner details the curricular outcomes (ACfE) being targeted as well as lesson ideas and suggestions for each relevant curricular area. This planner is aimed at 2nd Level/KS2 pupils. It also links to the separate topic of the Water Cycle (also available via my shop) and ties the two in together. There are accompanying worksheets on for sale separately to go alongside both topics also. These will all be on sale soon as a bundle. However, both topics would be appropriate as stand alone if desired.
This booklet has reminders and revision for many of the basic concepts in Maths and Numeracy, such as Place Value, Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Time, Fractions and Weights and Measures.
The purpose of the booklet is for extra reinforcement and information for those pupils who can struggle to retain the concepts and language of Maths.
The booklet can be used both in school and at home to enable the pupil to have a little more autonomy whilst engaged in independent work.
For example, when attempting correct layout of sums they can check the booklet to remind themselves of what to do without extra teacher input.
This has proven a helpful tool for many pupils who lack confidence in maths and numeracy.
This early level literacy activity bundle contains 18 different worksheet activities to cover phonics, blending/decoding and writing, including a set of story prompts using pictures to inspire some emergent imaginative writing. The bundle also includes 4 sets of bingo cards to cover the main phonic sets.
The activities cover other skills such as cutting and colouring to enhance fine motor skill development and are designed to be both enjoyable and challenging for the pupils. This will be a super time saver for busy teachers!
This resource would be ideal to extend and consolidate learning in these literacy areas and/or use for early finishers in class.
