Great powerpoint as a starter to a topic on winter or use for a Geography topic on seasonal changes/weather.

A Great poem to teach use of capitals for days of the week and to practise spelling them too!!!

Used this poem to teach children about using capital letters correctly.

This is a comprehensive unit with resources and word mat and two powerpoints - one for writing focusses and one for shared reading. Includes 3 SPAG lessons too.

This bundle contains planning, resources, imitation text, invention text and teaching points as well as word mats etc

This is a performance poetry unit for Year 1 over a week. It includes the poem, word mat and resources and planning for the week. Such a fun poem to perform!!

Great for creative writing - based on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and great to show how to sequence a tale and write creatively.

Two worksheets to support the teaching of ccvcc words.

I created these to have an author focus every fortnight in our reading area. The authors include Clare Freedman, Jill Murphy, Martin Waddell, Mick Inkpen, Oliver Jeffers, Sue Hendra.

I created these powerpoints to support parents to deliver phonics at home to their children. I showed them the outline of the powerpoint and then the parents were able to follow the same structure each day. I have also used these for small group interventions with Year 1/2 children. My KS2 colleagues have also found these useful too. There are 52 powerpoints which equates to 10 weeks worth of phonics intervention. Any questions please ask

This is a non-fiction unit using the story “When Granny went to Market” where she flies around the world on a magic carpet visiting different countries. The class all jumped on a flying carpet (rug) and we visited different countries with props too. Planning resources and powerpoints all included.

This is a three week unit on Jack and the Beanstalk based loosely on the talk for writing objectives too. It includes work on story mountains, grammar work and vocabulary. Any questions please ask

These are sets of CEW words put into reading and spelling progression that have been used across the KS1 to ensure all children can read and spell these words. They have been put on shapes too to help with recognition (love a bit of cross curricular!!)

These resources are based around the book “Monstersaurus”. I created instructions that Year 1 children can read using their phonic knowledge and then also created their own instructions too.

This resource includes a simplified version of the text covering the four seasons so children can learn the story out loud, planning and also a word mat for vocabulary and spelling.

Alternative pronunciations for graphemes can be introduced with these activities e.g. ea in tea, head and break.

I have included poetry units, stories such as Goldilocks and How the Tortoise got its shell as well as non fiction units such as Where does our breakfast come from?

These assessments cover all areas of the spelling curriculum in Year 1. It also has a scoring system so you can compare progress from one term to the next and also identify the next steps in the teaching of spelling with your class.

A great termly resource that covers all areas of the spelling curriculum in year 2. It identifies strengths and areas to develop within your cohort and is also a good tool to show progress in this area.

These activities have been created and are dated in the order they are taught. Great sheets for EAL children so that they understand what they are trying to spell.
