Hello! Thanks for viewing my shop. I've been teaching now for over 10 years and was a teaching assistant before that. I'm currently teaching Year 3/4 but have taught in EYFS, Year 1 and 2, & Yr 6. I've worn many hats during my teaching career and I'm now deputy head of a small but ever growing successful first school!
I love creating resources that can be used to capture and engage the children in my class that allow them to really enjoy their learning.Please get in touch and leave feedback!

These questions are perfect for showing greater depth in lower ks2 and could be used to challenge your very higher year 2 pupils.
I hope you and your children find these resources useful.
This resource includes 5 game boards and the sounds au, oi, ear /ur pronunciation of ear, ar and ea.
There is a mixture of nonsense and real words on each board.
For best results print A3!
I have asked children to select their playing piece from a basket of cars and used a large foam die! just to add a twist and gimmick to it.
I have used these with a class of 20 plus but found they are great for use in interventions and 1:2:1 teaching.
Each board takes roughly 20 mins to play with 3 players.
In the past I’ve held small competitions to see who won overall.
Hope your class love this game!
Thanks
Hi,
This resource includes a smart board and powerpoint presentation of poetry activities and ideas.
The smart board includes hyperlinks to help with moving through the slides.
Each slide is presented in a way that is friendly and bright to capture your pupils imaginations and attention!
There are 37 slides.Many including a poetry idea/activity.
I am a big believer in deepening my pupil’s vocabulary and hope that each slide achieves the same with your own class. I have placed an emphasis on vocab and have used this as discussion points.
I hope that you find this resource useful and that your children’s writing shines!
Thanks
This game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing. Included is a 2 player and 4 player version.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all).
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real.
The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’ read the nonsense word. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words.
To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great when doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the new Year 1 phonics screening check.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes one pdf with 16 questions and a word version so you can edit to suit the needs of your class.
These questions are designed to get your children thinking and show that they are working at a greater depth in Geometry.
I hope that your class find these useful and that they help you to gather the necessary evidence needed to show greater depth and mastery of angles.
Many thanks
This interactive whiteboard game is fab! Boys and girls love it. I use this to test children's reading skills and use it to model sounding out words. The children must come up and drag car to the correct word. The children can also play in pairs and challenge one another. I have made 3 versions and one maths version using Numicon. Feel free to edit the slides to suit your classes needs.
Many thanks.
This game is great for promoting vocabulary/terminology in my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 10 PDF documents with 4 pages (40 game boards in all).
Each game board covers a range of sounds from phase 2-5 and set 2/3 RWI.
This game is a great revision activity that is fun and allows children to show what they know as well as collaborate/play with other children.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening test.
No real preparation needed. Simply print, cut and use.
To play who’s who the children need to pick a word and then ask other players questions to eliminate possible words (aliens).
Alternatively you can laminate boards and just ask children to choose a alien (word) and ask children to sit in a group to play.
Also I have used these as bingo boards for small groups (up to 4 children).
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes one game board. It is ideal for revision of angles and covering such vocab as acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles etc…
I have used this as a 1:2:1 resource and in small groups to help recap or pre teach learning.
I hope you find this useful.
Thanks
This advent calender is great to add a bit of fun to problem solving and reasoning. It covers subtraction, addition, multiplication and division.
Simply click on each window on the calender and a problem for that day appears.
There are 23 problems.
Many have the answers and structures to model the answer.
I hope that this resource challenges your pupils. Feel free to adapt each problem to suit the needs of your class.
Hi,
This resourse focus on allowing the children to engage in key critical thinking skills and practice their skills in place value, adding and subtracting.
The 20 questions vary from asking the children to Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction and reading and writing numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals and number names.
I’ve included a word version so you can edit the questions to suit the needs of your class.
Here’s some suggested ways to use this resource.
Cut them up and laminate them- place them on the tables and ask your pupils to collaboratively solve them.
Stick them in the children’s books and get them to answer them.
After the children have solved a few ask them to place them in order of difficulty - ask them why and what they found most difficult.
Thanks for buying this resource and I really hope that it helps your class with their learning.
This resource includes 10 questions, some open ended with low floor high ceiling questions. You might just want to use one or two of the questions as a main and make them practical. The IWB presentation includes some of the types of q's from worksheet. They have a mastery feel and allow the children to use their reasoning skills.
The IWB includes some ordering activities, sorting and array making activities.
I hope you and your children find this resource useful.
Many thanks

Hi,
This resource focuses on multiplication, area and perimeter and allows the children to use reasoning and problem solving skills to solve two investigations. The investigations focus on the 9 and 8 times tables.
Investigation 1:
Santa wants a new floor design for his grotto 10m x 10m and a new floor design for his ballroom 20 m x 20 m (for higher attainers)
Investigation 2:
Santa would like to know how many presents fit in each room. Children have to work together to solve.
There is a short task to solve the presents area and perimeter which involves the 9 and 8 x tables.
Feel free to edit this resource to suit the needs of your class. For example, you could change the multiplication, area size to 5 x 5 or change the grotto to the sleigh. Also you could change the actual measurement to cm and get children to draw in books.
I am going to get children to cut areas from spare grids and place on until they have a final version. I’m also going to set my highers off with the challenge of only using calculations to solve first.
Hope your class enjoy it and have an awesome Christmas!
This resource is perfect for a small group intervention or just for a bit of fun with Maths thrown in!
You can edit the board to include whatever you would like.
Check out the video to find out how to create game board.
The resource includes templates and 4 pre-made boards.
The editable boards include counters up to 40 and base ten to 100 and beyond.
I hope that you find this resource useful and that your chidlren and class benefit from it.
Many Thanks
