Instead of buying class presents at the end of the year I set up an ‘Oscars’ awards ceremony with a little red carpet complete with childrens Hollywood handprints and give these awards out, the children love them and treasure them far more than anything else i could buy. We get dressed up in our best clothes and have a little party as well! Includes 33 different awards so something for everyone! Also a ticklist for you to keep track of what you have awarded and a template for creating the handprints. All fully editable.

This pack contains all of the information parents need to know about the Phonics Screening Check, along with a set of Phonics Mats -6 in total- so enough to cover the half-term before the test. These contain 6 short activities that are completed over a week and help the children practice the key skills needed to pass the screening check. I have also included a parent help sheet that explains how to do each task. Having parents involved really boosted my results last year and this pack was simple enough for them to follow. I printed it out and handed to all of my parents during parents evening.

This is a lovely way to revise Phase 5 and have a go at reading alien words ready for the Phonics Screening Check. The booklet includes a little poem to revise each Phase 5 sound, the children then need to look closely at the poem to find the words that have that sound in, as well as read the words in the grid and sort out the real words from the alien words. There is also a handy visualise page which I sometimes use to check if the children understand what the poem is about, it is another way of ticking off the comprehension and poetry objectives whilst still working on sounds!

Editable Peg Labels

16 hessian natural style labels for the classroom, fully editable.

An assembly for 30 children aimed more at KS1 that discusses chocolate and Fairtrade. The song we sing is called Zimbole and is on Youtube :)

This is a resource pack to create a rainbow challenge area in your classroom. The idea is that in each area of your continuous provision you have a challenge for the children to complete which are linked to the curriculum objectives. Each time they complete a task they collect the corresponding coloured lolly stick and place it in their pocket on your display until they manage to do all tasks and complete their rainbow! Included is the title, pockets for each child either with a unicorn or dragon with photo or with just their name, signs for each area in your provision which detail the task, and a certificate for those who complete or do good work etc. Everything is editable so that you easily chnage the tasks week by week.

Set of 6 editable homework grids with enough tasks to last each half term for the following topics: Once upon a time Under the sea Superheroes Space On Safari Nature Detectives

These are how I mark childrens writing and Maths, they stick in a bookmark each lesson and all I need to do is tick off the things they have achieved and circle something they need to work on next lesson. The children know what the pictures mean so instantly understand the feedback its then easy to see progress from lesson to lesson. Fully editable.

Months of the year labels

Curriculum map to show coverage for all subjects including continuous provision.

Get to know your new class with this lovely activity, just buy a pack of paper bags and use the template to create these All About Me bags as pictured. The children need to bring them back with 3 items inside that tell you more about them. I used mine on moving up day this year and made my own to introduce myself to the class. They then fill in the back piece in class and stick on the bits to make their own bag. This is then taken home to be filled with items and returned in September ready for show and tell! File includes pieces to stick on the bag including the poem/all about me sheet and bag parts and also a letter to parents explaining what its all about :) Fully editable.

A set of 56 superhero themed certificates includes general awards as pictured and also specific awards for areas such as super reading, excelllent listening etc so something for everyone! Also a ticklist for you to keep track of what you have awarded. Instead of buying class presents I set up an awards ceremony with a litte red carpet and give these out, the children love them and treasure them far more than anything else i could buy.
