This resource is one that I use often on my tables to encourage and build vocabulary in the children’s independent writing. This resource contains 8 different word mats which focus on building language and vocabulary skills based on the 5 different senses. It does not just focus on the senses as a whole but also focuses on how we can further describe them, for example separate mats for unpleasant and pleasant smells. These mats are both KS1 and KS2 friendly. They also use visuals to help reinforce which sense is being described.

This is a Resource bundle which I have created for my own classroom. It’s designed to make your reading corner more active and less passive. It has shelf labels for the different genres and types of books in your book corner, question prompts to encourage comprehension skills and key vocabulary. This resource also has several editable posters for you to write your own recommendations to keep your reading corner fresh and active throughout the year. Just print and stick! :)

I currently use this in my KS1 classroom. 5 Reading Corner rules which are a good visual prompt for behaviour management purposes to respect books in their reading corner, library or social area.

I have had this resource displayed in my classroom since my NQT year. It’s at the children’s height and the children can check in how they feel every morning and afternoon registration. The widgets themselves are usually moved around the appropriate zone to help them. The children love accessing it and usually write on the emotion zone areas their own suggestions on how to deal with those types of emotions.
