A little resource for you to give to your learners! It’s set over two pages and well worth playing with square numbers as an introductory activity. :)
Enjoy!
A delightful little activity to follow up from data handling in KS1, tally charts and block diagrams feature for them to have a go at with a second activity whereby they can tally spotted cars near the school gates. They loved this one!
Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy the resource.

Hi all,
This is a lovely little worksheet consolidating a few things within geometry. It covers polygons (regular/irregular), measuring of angles with protractor, isosceles triangles and missing angles using more than one variable.
I hope that you enjoy and your learners enjoy the worksheet!

Hey all,
This is a lovely little resource to supplement the concept of “nets”: a tricky concept to teach in KS2 (10-11 years of age).
I hope that your learners get a lot from the resource and thank you for visiting my shop for the purchase.

This is a fun little rounding activity for Year 4/5 (or lower Year 6).
It also has cut out numbers that they can use that show visually rounding up or rounding down.
I hope that you have fun with the resource!

Here is a little supplementary worksheet for translations and transformations inputs. Recommended for Year 5 to Year 6 level working children.
I hope that you and the children under your care enjoy the resource and learn from it. :)

Here is a small bundle of domino and dice activities which would work well for touch counting exercises, group work exercises (i.e. working together to work out dice number sentences) and for the child that enjoys being challenged to find different domino totals.
I hope you enjoy using the resources.
Please note: resource has been bordered to allow ease of cutting them out to stick into books for evidence.
We've all seen weather charts with gorgeous velcro calendars. We also know they are quite expensive. This is my first upload of a Weather Chart suitable for the early years and Year 1 classes to aid spelling of days of the week, number and a good resource for establishing routine.
This resource was blown up to A3 and cut and laminated. The seasons are grouped in 3 months according to colour and the Year is written on. I would recommend you getting a quality velcro board to stick this on. I find it was easy to slide in and out of behind a desk. I also purchased a second board that was red and have made Maths resources. Depending on how this one goes down with the community, I will upload more. They are more directed at Year 1.
Please note: I don't have a PDF creator in order to allow you to edit the resource as you see fit. This includes a font that you may want to change. I suggest Comic Sans and, if your computer has the font, SassoonPrimaryInfant is usually a good one to use. I highly recommend you use a font that has the correct formation of the letter 'a' to aid the children.
Thank you for looking at the resource and I hope you enjoy it should you decide to purchase it.
A KS1 Maths activity worksheet that encourages children to think of the different terms used for the four operations.
Contains a short, sequenced activity for times tables and follows on to the main activity of using different terms to the key mathematical operations.
A number of the day exercise for Year 2.
If you want to omit the question at the end, you can pop a white piece of paper/card over it in the photocopier to change it to something else or get rid of it completely.
This is a great, editable resource whereby you can test your class with their use of operations. Give them a minute, give them 2 minutes, give them whatever time they need to beat themselves!
It’s a great starter for getting them to practise key operations and, more importantly, play with Maths.
Enjoy the resource!

A fantastic selection of wheels that can be used for any particular lesson. Specifically, multiplying, dividing, decimals, percentages, fractions, averages or even triangles!
They’re even editable in case you want to up the anté or simplify! :)
Please enjoy these and keep this resource for you and your use alone to incorporate into your own PowerPoints as you see fit.

Hello!
I am at the peak of my resource making and thought I would share some of the resources I have made on supply. I hope you are able to enjoy over 100 pages of resources that helped me in the day-to-day running of my Foundation Stage class for 7 years. They can also be used for some Year 1 role-play areas, registers, pupils who need boosters in phase 2-4 and also contain some resources to boost children who have potential to enter Phase 5 before the Foundation Stage year is up!
These resources are tailored to teachers within schools that endorse a mixture of both cursive and pre-cursive print/writing. I would recommend cutting them out first, before then laminating them in a pouch. Without a small seal, they do not last half as long and come out of their laminated pouch easily with busy hands!
In order of appearance we have:
P.1-3: A handwriting practise to be laminated and practised only when the children are comfortable with good pen grip. There are cursive scripts and print scripts of a common sentence that uses all letters of the alphabet.
P.4-5: Outdoor Register. Write your name before you go out. Recommend they use name cards to aid reluctant writers.
P.6: Simple cutting skills in the writing area.
P. 7-9: Writing opportunities.
P. 10: Phonic Board Template. My personal favourite. Used in my phonics group, you can combine this with a whiteboard (plain side) and two pegs. Simply cut out the parts where the child can write. Laminate. Now make a small cut and cut inside the ‘write areas’ so that you can poke your finger through the ‘write areas’. Now attach this to the whiteboard. The children will quickly learn to write their name using appropriate size, the phoneme of the day, the tricky word, to blend using a phoneme frame and to write a short sentence. Fantastic resource.
Page 11-19: Ph2-4 Tricky words (in orange)
P. 20-35: Ph2-5 decodable words (in green)
P.36-44: All Ph2-4 phonemes. NB these are in cursive script.
P.45-46: Bookmarks. Used for going-home schemed books.
P.47-49: Phase 2-4 assessment sheets.
P. 50-60: Classroom Phonic prompts. Aids pretend word sounding out. Ph3-5
P.61-74 (&75): Reading Area prompts for children/adults about relevant books.
P.76: A guided reading proforma that helped me to do group reads and write basic notes on the children. That’s all it has to be. Don’t make too much work for yourselves!
P.77: Which school doesn’t have scooters?! A resource for the outdoor area.
P.79-88: Phoneme frame & graphemes (Ph2-4) Colour coded for recognition. Recommended for continuous provision.
P.89-92: Reading Aid-help children identify their stage and appropriate books to fetch independently.
P.93-96: Behaviour Management aids inc. whole-class marbles.
P.97-104: Fruit Station Aids.
P.105-107: LEGO ideas.
P.108-117: Start the day morning with these handy resources.
P.118-119: A Menu for roleplay.
