I used this activity with a Reception class. It got children to do an action for each time the ladybird moves. We then explored the tricky words and said them out loud. Then it teaches the letters J V and W and words with these phonemes in. Please comment and let me know how you find this - it is my first resource to upload! (I'm a trainee teacher)

These were some resources I made to support a week of work on 'Tasty poems'. It was aimed at building vocabulary and using the senses to describe things. At the end of the week we made a 'I like...' food poem.

These stickers were created to put into children’s reading records. The teacher can write comments and notes about the child’s reading and parents/carers can see what areas the children have been working towards. They link to the working at expected standard for 2018/19 TAF statements. *USING 30 PER PAGE TEMPLATE **

This resource is perfect for YR2 teachers, it is a set of activity cards which can be used in any KS1 classroom. The cards have the opportunity for children to make links between books (this could be; characters, settings, events in the story, author, writing style and more). The resource encourages children to be independent and chose their own links between the texts - it may be different to peers or the adults. FOR EXAMPLE: Gruffalo and Little Red Riding Hood link because: Both are set in the forest Both have scary hairy creatures in them Both include someone trying to play a trick/joke Both include a character walking through the woods - the list could go on… This activity is open ended and suitable for all learners, the link will always be correct as long as the children are able to explain and give suitable reasons. The books in these sheets are all KS1 suitable books and some which KS1 children will be familiar with. This includes an example card and a guidance for teacher cards. The activity cards would be excellent evidence for the TAF check in Year 2 as well. SEE LINK TO TAF 2018/19: • make links between the book they are reading and other books they have read.

This document was created to track a class and record assessment. Linked to the reading TAF, this will help to assess if children can read compound/2 syllable words. The table has a selection of 2 syllable and compound words and spaces for the children’s names or initials. (3 DOCUMENTS, 24 WORDS) It is a good way to spot gaps and words which the children are struggling with. Please leave reviews. Thanks

This resource is to be used in preparation for SATS in Year 2. The pack includes a range of cards which should be placed into boxes with the relevant equipment. The children will all have a ‘passport’ which they use to explore the activity stations and they can record some of their work. Once the children record the task and show an adult, they can get a sticker for their passport. This recaps ; maths, reading, SPAG, general vocabulary practice.
