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!

Hi all,
This worksheet has 10 + questions designed to stretch your pupil's reasoning skills. They combine addition and rounding skills and can be used as starters, main or plenary activities. Alternatively, I've been using them as extension activities.
Feel free to edit the tasks to suit your class. I hope they help.
Hi, thanks for viewing these resources.
Here are two presentations using concrete and abstract ques for you to demonstrate subtraction/addition or to allow the children to physically make amounts on board.
The worksheet consists of over 15 greater depth q's and focus on extending your higher ability.
Feel free to adapt these resources to suit the needs of your class.
Many thanks and I hope they are useful.
Attached are 6 differentiated strips of sometimes, always and never multiplication and division questions. There are 3 division and 3 multiplication.
Each one is editable. I have used them to show reasoning skills and show greater depth.
I hope your class enjoy using them as much as mine have.
Many thanks
I hope that you find this resource useful. I have differentiated it 3 ways. Even for the lower abilities I’ve included some questioning that will ask them to reason and explain their thinking, as showing greater depth can be included for all to try.
Many thanks
This is a mastery worksheet involving adding money. There is a mixture of operations , statistics and fractions to ensure that children are still being exposed to previously recapped and upcoming concepts/learning.
I have included 12 varied fluency questions and 6 problem solving and reasoning questions.
These questions allow the children to be challenged in a way that will stretch their thinking and learning, allowing them to master the topic.
Many thanks for downloading this resource. I hope you and your children find it useful. I have included the word version so you can adapt each question to suit the needs of your class.
Enjoy!
This 1 more/less 10more/less hunt can be differentiated many ways. I have already differentiated it 5 ways for my own class and printed out the sheets on different coloured paper for each group to find. Once the children have found the coloured shape that they've been given they must solve 1 more/less or 10 more less depending on their ability. They record on the answer sheets provided in the download.
I hope this helps and feel free to differentiated to suit your class.
Many thanks
This worksheet uses Minecraft to enthuse the children to learn position and movement. Some of the questions stretch the children by asking them to write instructions for a beebot and some q's have Minecraft objects that start in a diagonal position.
I hope your class enjoy using this resource.
Many thanks
Here is an Interactive Whiteboard resource full of phonic games. My class topic is Pirates so I've gone Pirate mad! There are 11 slides and 4 games/activities differentiated. Feel free to edit to suit your classes needs.

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 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.
The children love to be active during Phonic sessions. This activity can be adapted to any occasion/activity.
For example you could use it as a dart/arrow board or roll an object and see what word it lands on.
I have used it in trays or baskets and with many items that the children roll , e.g pebbles, die, small cubes, spinning tops to name a few.
This resource includes 5 pdfs which contain 4 boards each (20 in total).
They cover the split digraphs a_e e_e i_e o_e u_e and include real and nonsense words ( pseudonyms ).
This resource is editable.
I hope you and your class enjoy this activity as much as my class do.
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.
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 :)

This resource structures persuasive writing for your whole class. I have used this resource for Year 3/4 but it can easily be adapted for year 5/6.
In the past I have used this a whole lesson and written each sentence as a class to really create an in depth piece of writing. I would ask the children for their ideas and they would collaboratively come up with ideas and then write down after sharing them with whole class.
I have also cut the sentence strips out and allowed my higher attaining pupils to play around with the structure.
This resource allows the lowers a structure to follow and the opportunity to write without worrying about content and structure.
I hope that you enjoy using this resource and that your children’s writing is wonderful!
Many thanks
This resource includes 6 game boards.

I hope that you and your class love playing this game.

This resource can be used to measure angles and identify them.
You can use it in many ways.
Cut them out and stick them in the children’s books.
Cut them out and use them on tables and as a carousel activity. I’ve used them on tables and placed post it notes and cups with each angle. The children measure/name and then write answers on post its and pop them into the cups.
I hope that you find this resource useful.
Many thanks
