A set of four different worksheets for Christmas maths activities. Looking at fractions, percentages, money, addition and subtraction and problem solving. These activities are designed to be both fun and challenging and are great time fillers during the busy Christmas season or early finisher activities.
I have designed this music topic pack with the intention of covering various aspects of music education, along with the ability to include this within an integrated curricular planner. This topic brings ICT in throughout as well as easily lending itself to the inclusion of various other curricular areas, such as language, social studies, science, design & technology, ICT, drama, P.E. and art.
This pack would be particularly beneficial if used in conjunction with a topic on the weather/seasons/nature. Elements could also be linked in well to a topic on Europe. Although some of the lessons may appear to be more ICT based than music, the aim is that the children expand their experience in all areas of music while using new technology. Some of the lessons are more traditionally musically based than others, but each one will provide a beneficial learning experience for the children. They are going to be gaining experience in a range of skills and abilities, such as playing instruments, composing, listening and discussing, working collaboratively, using music as an inspiration for other areas, being able to identify techniques used in music to portray different moods and images.
These literacy worksheets are great for consolidation and revision work. These can be used with both KS1/2 and Scottish first and second levels as they are of varying levels of difficulty. All sheets editable on word to allow for easy differentiation. With a focus on grammar, the worksheets cover the following elements:
Plurals
Irregular Verbs
Punctuation
Homophones
Connectives
Adjectives
Types of sentences
These phonics flash cards are colour coded by set and arranged in line with the Jolly Phonics programme of teaching in Reception/Primary One. Font used is Sassoon Infant Std. The cards are in PDF format, and can be printed and laminated, the colour coding means easy organisation into sets for a busy infant teacher! If you wish a set on a Word document, please let me know.
Comprehensive mind map style topic plan on Under the Sea for forward planning. This covers early level/EYFS outcomes and also includes an overview planner for Four Contexts for Learning. The bundle also includes a range of accompanying resources; Word bank, literacy and numeracy worksheets and a homework workbook with accompanying parental information letter.
These booklets are designed for using for homework tasks related to reading and spelling. One booklet is for personal reading or school directed reading records and reviews. The other is for using the Look, Cover, Say, Write and Check method for setting spelling homework.
These are both editable on word documents so that you can add your class stage to the cover or make any additions etc that you wish.
Comprehensive mind map style topic plan on the topic ‘Where in the World is Barnaby Bear’ for forward planning. This covers early level/eyfs outcomes and has information on experiences and outcomes as well as curricular areas and lesson ideas. The bundle also includes a range of accompanying resources and worksheets. This would be a good starter pack for beginning the topic.

This bundle includes a script and powerpoint for a class assembly on festivals and celebrations of some of the main world religions, backing tracks and song words and RME topic planner which can be used in conjunction with assembly and a topic on Solar System.
The mp3 files and words accompany the assembly pack on for sale.
This will be included as part of a bundle for sale. However, the Christmas songs and backing tracks could be useful on their own!
If you would like any other backing tracks or song words for Christmas based songs, please let me know.
This resource is a script with directions, an information letter for parents as well as a powerpoint for a class to put on a super assembly based on the common world religions festivals and celebrations. It covers Eid, Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas. If you have a range of religions represented in your school, that is ideal, however, it would also be appropriate for smaller schools who perhaps have less diversity, as the script is easily adaptable.
This is well received by parents, pupils and the school community as it is a super way to celebrate several religious festivals at once.
This could be done at this time of year as a stand alone assembly, or can be undertaken at the end of the accompanying RME planner on World Religions which in turn goes with the Solar System topic planner.
I have also uploaded song words and backing tracks to support this assembly - all of these other resources will be available as a bundle.
This planning and assessment resource is designed to go alongside the resources for an Assembly on World Religions Festivals and Celebrations, as well as complementing the topic of Space and the Solar System.
The resource also includes a short assessment to be completed following the end of the initial focus which is creation stories.
This will be bundled with the assembly resources to be a comprehensive set of resources for you to use at this time of year.
This bundle consists of guidelines, lesson plans, activities and resource suggestions based around themes on Toys, Anger Management and Friendship.
Each theme is designed to be done over two sessions and links to Expressive Arts, Literacy and English as well as HWB.
Each individual set has been priced at £4 - £5 but for a limited time you can purchase all three for the great price of £8.00.
This booklet is designed to be used during the busy December month, when often it is difficult to keep the pupils engaged and still learning!
Within this booklet are seven different challenges that will get the pupils thinking, designing, problem solving, working together and having some fun.
The booklet has the following worksheets and tasks:
Design a new toy
Design a new suit for Santa
Help the Elves task
Design a Sleigh
Christmas Alphabetical Ordering
Christmas Wordsearch and Cloze Passage
Christmas Party Budget: Money and Problem Solving activity
This is designed for KS2/Scottish Second Level pupils, although it could be adapted/differentiated for lower stages and levels.
This resource can be used for both at school with an infant class/nursery, or at home for your own young children. I made these resources up for my own child and subsequently used in my P1 classroom where it went down a treat.
The door can be printed and laminated and then easily attached to a wall - I used A5 size last year, but A4 also works well on a bigger expanse of wall.
The letter and behaviour chart are editable to suit for name/class etc. I laminated the chart as well and in class it was smiley faces and at home I used stickers.
You can get little elf dolls online extremely cheaply, without having to pay too much for the 'official' merchandise.
