Hi all, I've used this homework for the past 2 years and it's always gone down well with parents. Each bit of homework is differentiated into 4 parts based on the ability groups and colours within my class (can be changed). I've included an initial letter to parents to explain the homework (on the first homework doc). I've never sent homework home to parents in Autumn 1 due to transitioning up from Foundation and the step up in learning already. It usually alternatives maths and literacy each week and then I've included phonics homework for when you near the phonics screening. All the homework was hand made by me, so not just copied resources from elsewhere online. Hope you find some use in it and can tweak it to suit your requirements.

Hi there, I've included 2 weeks of planning and most of the resources for documentary texts. We plan on a theme for 2 weeks in literacy with the first week ending in a 'Big Write' and then the second week they edit their draft and then have an opportunity to write it up in neat. These weren't written for TES and are the actual plans we use, but may be of use to anybody wanting to plan something similar. Hope it helps :)

Hi there, I thought I'd update a set of book labels I made for our school to keep consistency. Each class has an animal name and picture as you will see, each of these is easily changed. We print these onto labels (standard 4 to one A4 sheet) to make it easier to stick onto books. There are 4 boxes in the bottom left, we use these to colour code books and identify for Pupil Premium, SEN, EAL and slow movers. This makes it easier for books scrutiny's but also mean the children won't know what they mean. Hope it helps somebody looking for a whole school theme!

I’ve uploaded my White Rose ‘Money’ Spring Block 2 planning, including resources. Hopefully it will save somebody else some time! The starter activities referred to I’ve uploaded separately (they’re on a power point). https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mental-starters-11805783 I’ve also included a variety of mini maths sessions (57 separate activities) based on the NFR Y3 Autumn assessment papers which I use throughout as additional warm ups and plenaries.

I use this as warm ups or when I have a free 5 minutes. I get the children to self-mark, create their own and then set their friends challenges. Great for recapping key skills regularly without additional work load.

We stick these into their homework books and they work through the wilfs. The focus of the WILFs is showing how you know in a variety of ways, rather than getting the answer right.

5 minute activity for each session in Autumn 1. Aim is to recap the basic skills taught in Year 1 and Year 2 in starter form. Answers included for children to self assess. Most tasks are differentiated by colour. I've included the overview planning for the terms over the year (subject to change) P.S. I do automatically include mistakes on some of my slides to promote the children to think for themselves and challenge or correct me. Even if these are accidental I leave them on for future uses. We are working on our 'growth mindset' and how learning happens through mistakes - including the teachers.

Hi there, This resource includes: History, geography, science, art, DT, cooking and nutrition, music, computing, languages and PE for Y1-Y6, colour coded and you can skip easily between year groups to spot what's changed or been added. It also includes key Science vocabulary from the National Curriculum for each year group and each key topic. It also includes PSHE year groups objectives. Hope this helps!

A variety of mock phonics check words to practise on

Hi all, I made this for my school and we use it in combination with separate literacy + numeracy coverage documents + RE weekly themes planning. Hope I've saved somebody some time. (colour coded by national curriculum colours as we copy and paste objectives into our medium term plans like this)

I use these for 5 minutes at the start of a maths lesson and children then mark it themselves in less than a 1 minute. I do put deliberate mistakes on most slides to prompt my class to challenge me if they get a different answer and to promote growth mindset - I’m always learning as well as them. Either I’ve made a mistake and I learn, or they’ve made the mistake and they learn.
