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.

This Minecraft Money activity allows the children to solve the items in each bag. This open ended challenge allows the children to come up with more than one possibility.
I hope this is useful.
Many thanks.

Hope your children enjoy the game!
This resource includes one template and one complete Year 2 common misconception words board game for up to 4 players. It’s A3.
I’ve been struggling to engage my Year 3 class into learning their tricky words so came up with this. When a child’s playing piece lands on the circle they must write word in a sentence.
Feel free to edit the words to suit your class.
Hope this helps.
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.
These Sight Word Fluency Sentence flash cards are a FAB way for your pupils to become confident and fluent readers!
Learning to read and spell the common exception words can be a tricky task for most Year 2 children.
I send this resource to parents on a key ring for children to learn at home.
I also use them in school during Guided Reading sessions and on my IWB to display to the whole class.
There are 64 flash cards in total.
I hope you find this resource useful.
Attached is an editable version to use within your own class and not for re-sale.
Many thanks
Hi,
I’ve been teaching phonics for over 10 years and have successfully taught children to read phonetically using school bought schemes .
However, i’ve found that some children ( especially boys) find it more difficult to retain phonetic knowledge.
With this in mind i created lots of fun resources aimed at engaging children using a competitive and fun method.
I hope you and your children enjoy these resources ( many of which are editable ) !
Good luck and all the best
Hi,
This resource includes 20 + Subtraction and addition questions in a pdf format, a word format (so you can edit to make personal to your class) and an interactive smart board notebook so you can model/explain how to tackle the problems.
This has been great in my class and has stretched my highers and by using practical resources all pupils are able to access these.
Hope that this resource helps and saves you time.
Many thanks
Hi, thanks for viewing. These worksheets are designed to stretch all abilities and allow the pupil to use a range of skills such as rounding, estimating and adding to complete mastery style questions. These can be used as a main, starter or plenary activity or alternatively cut them up and give them as extra challenges.
Please feel free to edit to suit the needs of your class. I hope they help.
This worksheet contains 15 questions that allow the pupils to use their knowledge and skills in different scenarios. Feel free to adapt this worksheet to suit your children's needs.
Thanks, I hope they help.
Hi,
This Interactive white board activity allows your children to spot the odd sounding word out and play ‘Into the black hole’…a game that sees the child dragging the pseudonym (alien word) into the black hole and into oblivion. The real words stay in front of the black hole and the alien disappear behind the center of the hole.
The game is accompanied by a worksheet that can be used in conjunction with the IWB or without.
The resource is editable so feel free to tinker to suit the sound and needs of your class. In most slides you can edit the words.
I hope that this resource helps you and your children continue to love reading and enjoy their Phonics teaching.
This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard.
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. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on.
These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game.
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 wen 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 upcoming phonics screening.
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 contains 15 + activities/questions for your children to tackle. The resource looks at addition and subtraction and poses the processes in different ways to extend and stretch each child.
The fluency activity includes answers.
Also included are 4 activities that I have used to recap and check previous learning.
I have included the original word document for you to edit to suit the needs of your own class.
I hope that you and your children find this useful.
Many 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.
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’t. 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.

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

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
This takes a little prep to do but my children enjoyed the freedom of moving about to get the tokens and match them to the definition of the term.
It is fully editable so please feel free to add/remove terminology or create your own version.
This resource includes 2 worksheets in which the children must solve what term is what and then write an example. They must finally find the terminology token and stick in correct box of the sheet.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hi,
