Notes on the new Development Matters and EYFS 2021

To use the suffixes -ing or -ed where no change is needed in the spelling of the root word. Add the suffix -ing in one column and -ed in the next. Apply words created to sentences.

Numicon A4 posters, number bonds, matching cards, number track, number fans.

Phase 6 / year 1-2 Use the spelling rule for adding -s or -es as the plural marker for nouns. Add the correct plural ending for the pictures given.

Workshet to support text rich literacy planning for Grandad’s Island - year 3. Exploring the idea of grief in the story.

Quick write forms for children to complete quick write with prompt sheets. I use these at least once every long term to track progress and identify phonemes to reteach.

Here is a project I set for my year 1 children during remote learning. They really enjoyed it and created some lovely booklets, posters and fact files.

Lesson presentation and worksheets to support teaching of simple and expanded noun phrases suitable for year 3 curriculum.

Handwriting sheets with three lines (I call them sky, land, sea) which can be left as they are or highlighted. I have written the words on both sides so it is easier for left handed children to read the sounds as they write. Large lines for introduction of letter formation to help children with less fine motor control. I would reduce these down for more confident writers. Can be laminated for use with whiteboard pens or printed as writing sheets. I use these alongside phonics teaching for letter formation practice.

Phase 3 trigraphs ear, air, ure and igh handwriting sheets. Words written on left and write to support left handed writers.

Number formation posters with rhymes. Arrows showing direction to start writing in. One number per page posters and a page with all numbers together. Could be laminated and used for number formation, ordering numbers (indoor or outdoor on a washing line) or used for posters and prompts on a writing table. I use mine outdoor for gross motor formation with chalks on the playground and indoor with sand writing etc…

Colour code colouring sheets for s a t p i n phonemes Recognition / colours / fine motor

EYFS continuous provision or phonics support resource. Best used when laminated. Place word or sound cards on the ‘Read It’ section. Use plastic / magnetic letters to build the word in the ‘Build It’ section. Children use whiteboard pens to practise writing the word in the ‘Write It’ section.

Two presentations support teaching of writing settings and accompanying worksheets. Used alongside teaching of Stig Of The Dump but could be adapted.

Phase 3 phonics activity sheets including find and colour the phoneme practise writing the letter add the sound buttons fill in the missing letters read the sentence write a sentence Sentences could be cut up laminated and used for sorting. I also laminate the writing sentence part for children to use whiteboard pens with. (can be enlarged)

Avery label template with EYFS Reading and Writing statement 40-60, ELG and Exceeding statements. I use alongside a date stamp and next steps statements to stick into learning journeys / folders / books during the year.

Avery label template of EYFS Maths Shape Space and Measure statements I print these labels and use alongside a date stamp and next steps comments in learning journeys / folders / books.

A powerpoint containing cvc cvcc and ccvc words using phase 2 set 1 sounds (SATPIN). I have shown the word with sound buttons then blended it in the direction of reading (left to right) to show the letters blending together. I found it helpful for my class when beginning to blend.

A powerpoint with some quick fire subitising slides with 3 or not 3 slides. Can be used together or separately. I have used these alongside the NCETM mastering number activities.

Here are some of the continuous provision ideas and labels I put together for the food topic are carrots orange.
