Both the This ‘Forgetful Santa’ booklet aims to support vocabulary acquisition of everyday items such as hats, boots, gloves as well as different colours. The children go through the booklet and identify what Santa has forgotten, and fill in the blanks for the sentence “Santa has forgotten his…” The final page includes extra fill in the blank sentences about Santa as well as space for children to experience writing their own sentences about Santa.This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently. Includes 2 work sheets for children with EAL or SEN. Children need to match the cut out gingerbread men with the digits on to match to the Gingerbread board that shows the pictorial representations of the numbers. This encourages subitising and supports children in linking the digits to the amount from 1-10. The second sheet focuses on children matching and learning the names of the different shapes. Children will need to cut the shapes out and match them to the named reindeer shapes above. All of these worksheets are a great starter activity or full lesson together when combined. Both encourage independent working and are linked specifically to the Standard 4 of the Pre-Key Stage standards.

These sets of Harry Potter posters are a brilliant way to engage children in grammar as well as consolidating their knowledge of word classes and writing features. I have these in my classroom and we refer to them throughout SPaG and English lessons. Children will often look to them for ideas or to remind them of the different names of the grammatical features.

This set is perfect for the end of a busy term in the run up to Christmas. The Abridged version of A Christmas Carol has been re-written to make it shorter and easier to grasp for children, with images included. There are sets of worksheets and reading comprehension questions to accompany the book. The Grinch Maths is 2 days worth of smart boards and worksheets, aimed to support all children in the Maths lesson. Again, this is great for keeping some structure for the last 2 days of term. The Christmas French vocabulary poster is a lovely display and visual aid and we use it to play bingo with, to create art work and to play labeling games around the room.
