Year 1 Letters and Sounds and Weekly Spellings Long-term Plan This document outlines a long-term plan for Letters and Sounds, streaming for 3 Phonics groups and recommended weekly spellings for each group in line with the HFWs and the sounds that have been covered each week. The plan starts with a whole-class review and consolidation of Phase 2 in the Autumn term. Differentiated weekly spellings start in the second half of the Autumn In the Spring term, Phonics teaching is streamed into three groups and the weekly spellings continue. I have not seen a document of this kind anywhere else so I produced it for Key Stage 1 in my school setting. It has been effective and ensured comprehensive coverage and progression of Letters and Sounds along with appropriate and useful spellings. This download includes a PDF version and an editable Word version. Enjoy!

Differentiated story volcano templates. LA and MA focus on beginning, middle and end whilst HA focuses on beginning, problem, climax, resolution and end.

This is a Letters and Sounds assessment to be used for each pupil. At my school we start this assessment in Reception and we assess the children one a term. The assessment is then past up to Year 1 and Year 2. This assessment clearly tracks the children's progress assessing their knowledge of the sounds, high frequency words, blending and segmenting relevant for each phase. I hope that this proves to be a useful tool for you in your setting. This download includes: - An original PDF version of the assessment that I use. - An editabe Word version to tailor the assessment to meet your needs.

A strategy that I have designed and has become implemented in my school to manage behaviour effectively. The hand clearly demonstrates 5 levels of behaviour sanctions in a clear and visual way.

This is a whole term's worth of lessons that I did based on Materials and Their Properties. This was deeply embedded with the themes of our topic but the lessons are exciting, tactile and easy to adapt.

These French classroom labels are dyslexia friendly with a yellow background and blue text. Labels include basic classroom objects/ furniture and basic instructions. I have written the French spelling in blue and included a phonetic pronunciation in red underneath each label to support teachers and children with the correct pronunciation. Enjoy!

Another way of visually representing number bonds to 10 using coloured red and green dots. Give it a whirl!

My Year 1 class thoroughly enjoyed creating their own porridge adverts when we looked at the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Here are 3 differentiated writing templates for porridge adverts. We had some wonderful and creative ideas!

Here is a week's worth of Maths planning for teaching Y1 about time with a focus on o' clock and half past times on analogue clocks. This includes SMART slides for 4 lessons and 3 differentiated worksheets. Enjoy!

A useful set of SMART slides to teach children coin recognition. This includes a link to an excellent game.

I did this for an obs lesson. Please find attached slides and 4 differentiated sheets using a 'chillies' startegy (mild, hot, spicy and extra spicy) to allow the children choice of independent task. The children drew rainforest animals in teh grids and had to swap them with a friend to locate the Aftican animals using coordinates e.g. the elephant is in B3. They then wrote sentences to describe this at the bottom of their sheets. Happy plotting!
