Each set of slides has 2 slides per days: Monday Maths Fluency Maths Tuesday Maths Fluency Reading Comp Wednesday Maths Fluency Sentence Types Thursday Maths SPaG Friday Maths Fluency Handwriting (you will need to adapt this to whatever topic you are covering). I get these printed as a booklet with the print layout set as ‘notes pages’ - this then sets the work on the top half of the page with space below for working out/writing etc. These are lifesavers! I print off booklets at the beginning of each half-term and that is their morning work to do as soon as they come in. There are 6 booklets in total: Aut1 7 weeks of daily work Aut2 6 weeks of daily work Spr1 6 weeks of daily work Spr2 6 weeks of daily work Sum1 6 weeks of daily work Sum2 6 weeks of daily work Again, you will need to adapt depending on the length of each half term.

For some reason the previews made it look wrong! But when you download, you can easily change font for front cover depending on which you prefer to use. I print these as a booklet, for when children to do when they come in before register. These are aimed at the children who need constant revision of the basics, while the others get on with something more challenging. 2 weeks are included and they can then be easily adapted as the children progress: Booklet 1 contains… Front cover - they need to practise the day of the week and also their name (you will just need to delete ‘name’) Monday - Letter formation and fine motor control Tuesday - Numeral formation and fine motor control Wednesday - Basic maths (accurate counting) and fine motor control Thursday - CVC words and fine motor control Friday - Basic maths (adding) and fine motor control Booklet 2 contains the same fine motor control, but slightly different activities. These are great time-savers and can also be adapted for whole class.
