A quick powerpoint presentation with a short description of what Shrove Tuesday is. Worksheet design a pancake (bit of RE/Literacy/Art) ties in with adjective use. If you have found this useful please favourite and rate :)

Write a description of the tropical jungle in the lovely book, The Tin Forest. Brilliant for use of adjectives. Sheet comes with writing checklist that can be adapted depending on lesson focus. Also there is a leaflet for comparing the two different settings. Our audience and purpose was that the old man has found a wife. She wants to live in the tin forst as she thinks it's easier to manage, he wants to live in the jungle as he waited for so long for something to grow. Please leave a review/comment if you like the resource...Thank you!

I used this for my very able Year 2 class during our Media Magic topic, however it's probably more appropriate for KS2. It can be used as a starting point for learning more about Bell himself or asking children to design a phonne of the future. Simple worksheet to accompany.

I already have two free mock phonics screening tests in my free resources. If you have already used those, here is an option for a brand new (2016) edition. The test is laid out as the STA lay theirs out. There are 40 words: 20 real and 20 pseudo. There is also a tick sheet to record pupils’ answers and a class record sheet. I would advise carrying out several mock screening checks so that the children are comfortable with the format. Also, this allows you to find individual or common areas for development and plan your phonics sessions accordingly. As a school, we have had extremely good phonics screening results, 80-90%. This resource could also be printed off as a booklet and given as homework to encourage families to support their children in working towards passing the phonics screening. My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!

Used for a display around classroom so children become familiar with key skills.

Differentiation at top of the page. Children can use highlighters/coloured pencils to explore what pattern they can find.

A mixture of Year 1 resources. I hope you have found these resources helpful. If you have time please leave feedback.

Estimating volume - to start having a think about capacity. Jug measuring - For top ability group with support, thinking about measuring in ml and counting in 100s and 1000s. Challenging - good scaffold for relevant vocab use. Measuring out into cups - Used for my BA group to do with support. Some time will be needed to collect resources but if you put a note in the staffroom or ask parents these things can be collected faster (then keep them for next time) As said on sheet adding food colouring and sequins makes it that bit more exciting! Thank you :)
