Price Tags for Role Play Shop - Coins and Money - Editable
A large selection of price tags for use in a role play shop or Maths lesson.
The price tags feature different coin combinations for 1p - 20p, allowing teachers to differentiate their resources and to support mathematical progress. We use these both for role play shops and as a matching game when introducing money - separating the price labels from the coins and asking children to match the totals.
Includes:
Simple price tags 1p - 10p featuring only 1p coins
Differentiated price tags 1p - 10p featuring two different coin combinations, using both 1p coins and 2p coins
Differentiated price tags 5p - 20p featuring 5p coins, 10p coins and 20p coin
Blank price tag templates for children to create their own
The download includes a ready-to-print PDF file as well as an editable Word document, should you wish to create your own combinations of coins and price tags with the templates.

In my Reception class we have a reading folder for the whole class. Every child gets one of these sheets either half-termly or termly, to document their progression and to support assessment. Practitioners write comments by the side and date when steps are achieved. Having the Development Matters statements easily to hand helps prompt practitioners to further children’s learning and plan for their ‘next steps’.

Phonics Picture Spotters bundle
Picture Spotters for use in Phonic lessons.
Initial Sound Picture Spotters:
These initial sound posters are filled with objects that start with each letter’s sound. Each ‘sound room’ has at least 10 pictures or objects starting with that sound. We have found these really useful to use at the beginning of Phonics lessons when we are introducing a new sound. All sounds from A-Z are covered. Download includes Powerpoint and PDF versions.
Digraph/Trigraph Picture Spotters:
These digraph/trigraph picture spotters are filled with objects that contain each sound (Phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs and Read Write Inc Set 2 sounds) . Each ‘sound room’ has at least 10 pictures or objects containing that sound. 24 different sounds are included:
ch, sh, th, ng, nk, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo (zoo), oo (book), ar, ur, or, ow (cow), oi, ear, air, ure, er, ay, ow (snow), ir, oy. Download includes Powerpoint and PDF versions.
“What’s in the sound room today?”
1 more, 1 less - Number posters to 10 - One more, one less
One more, one less posters: Number displays to 10.
Each poster is on its own A4 page and features a representation of the number in three different ways - on fingers, as Numicon number shapes and as objects - as well as 1 more and 1 less than that number displayed in the same way. There is also a blank poster for children to complete themselves in continuous provision or as a home learning task.
CVC Word Trails - Blending activity for reading intervention (Phase 2)
A selection of 20 different word cards, designed to support early reading of Phase 2 CVC words. Letters are laid along a ‘trail’, with the full word blended together at the end.
We have found these incredibly useful as a phonics intervention activity. We encourage children to use their finger to trace the trail and blend the sounds together as they are reading.
They are also great laminated for display, or as a reading activity that children can access independently in the book corner.
Words included: tap, sit, pan, pig, mop, cat, map, cot, pen, mug, bag, hat, dog, fox, ten, jam, log, red, van, fish.

Recognise the numerals in different real-life contexts.
Understand the ‘one-ness’ of one; the ‘two-ness’ of two - what do they mean?
Interact with the resources, e.g. Put 5 socks on the washing line.
Designed to engage young learners through story and rhyme, supporting them to become secure in the basics of mathematics.
Consistent with Maths Mastery and White Rose schemes of learning.
A-Z Sound Mat - Letter Formation Photo Resource for Phonics
An A-Z sound mat to support early writing development. Each sound features a letter formation picture prompt, using photo-realistic images instead of clipart - to support younger pupils, EAL and SEN learners who benefit more from real-life imagery.
