The cards feature emotion trees showcasing groups of words for each emotion. EYFS cards - add your own character or image on top of the coloured auras - we use the colour monster images KS1 and KS2 - you can just use the cards with the emotion sign posts or you can add your own characters or images at the bottom of each tree. We used the characters from Inside Out. See instagram page for preview of how we have added images to the cards. If you would like a copy of the characters I have used drop me your email address and I can send you them.

Health and Fitness Half Term Challenge

There are 5 food and 5 fitness activity challenges. 1 card to be sent home each week. Children/ parents have a recording sheet to tick off which challenges they complete. We ask for photos to be shared with us via seesaw - you could do what suits your school! We collate these into a floor book as part of our personal development/ mental wellbeing evidence. If children complete 5 or more of the 10 challenges before the deadline they are entered into a prize draw to win a little hamper - your prize would be up to you! Resources include the 5 challenge cards and the recording sheet. These are PDF docs and are not editable.

Spelling Challenge KS2 bundle

Spelling Challenge Cards Level 6-9 Level 6 and Level 7 = Y3/4 statutory words Level 8 and Level 9 = Y5/6 statutory words These follow on from the KS1 spelling bundle also in my TES store. Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate. Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
