Hello! Thanks for viewing my shop. I've been teaching now for over 10 years and was a teaching assistant before that. I'm currently teaching Year 3/4 but have taught in EYFS, Year 1 and 2, & Yr 6. I've worn many hats during my teaching career and I'm now deputy head of a small but ever growing successful first school!
I love creating resources that can be used to capture and engage the children in my class that allow them to really enjoy their learning.Please get in touch and leave feedback!

This game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing. Included is a 2 player and 4 player version.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all).
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real.
The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’ read the nonsense word. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words.
To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great when doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the new Year 1 phonics screening check.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes 5 game boards and the sounds au, oi, ear /ur pronunciation of ear, ar and ea.
There is a mixture of nonsense and real words on each board.
For best results print A3!
I have asked children to select their playing piece from a basket of cars and used a large foam die! just to add a twist and gimmick to it.
I have used these with a class of 20 plus but found they are great for use in interventions and 1:2:1 teaching.
Each board takes roughly 20 mins to play with 3 players.
In the past I’ve held small competitions to see who won overall.
Hope your class love this game!
Thanks
This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds.
To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds.
You could use two boards or a die up to 3.
I hope that your class enjoys playing these games.
Many thanks for viewing.
This resource includes 6 game boards.

This resource includes an IWB presentation. Within the IWB there are set Q’s and tasks for the children to complete. It is designed to fit in with a mastery approach to learning with small low level tasks to begin and then complex greater depth Questions to finish.
I hope that you and your class find this resource useful.
Many thanks
Hi,
This resource includes a smart board and powerpoint presentation of poetry activities and ideas.
The smart board includes hyperlinks to help with moving through the slides.
Each slide is presented in a way that is friendly and bright to capture your pupils imaginations and attention!
There are 37 slides.Many including a poetry idea/activity.
I am a big believer in deepening my pupil’s vocabulary and hope that each slide achieves the same with your own class. I have placed an emphasis on vocab and have used this as discussion points.
I hope that you find this resource useful and that your children’s writing shines!
Thanks
Hi,
This resource includes 1 Interactive Whiteboard presentation and a word document which includes WILF and challenge labels.
I've made the sentences Christmas themed and I hope you and your class find them useful.
I've also included some other Maths multiplication lesson presentations (with scribbles!) just because it's Christmas.
Many thanks
These resources will engage your class in the teaching of phonics.
Games are in IWB - smartboard files
Adapt each activity to suit the sound you are teaching or use these slides as revision for the up and coming Phonics Screening check.
The handbook will enable you to choose games to play with your class and help give you suggestions on how to play and adapt those games to suit the needs of the class.
I hope these resources help your children with their reading!
Many thanks
This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard.
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on.
These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great wen doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
Hi,
This Interactive white board activity allows your children to spot the odd sounding word out and play ‘Into the black hole’…a game that sees the child dragging the pseudonym (alien word) into the black hole and into oblivion. The real words stay in front of the black hole and the alien disappear behind the center of the hole.
The game is accompanied by a worksheet that can be used in conjunction with the IWB or without.
The resource is editable so feel free to tinker to suit the sound and needs of your class. In most slides you can edit the words.
I hope that this resource helps you and your children continue to love reading and enjoy their Phonics teaching.
The children love to be active during Phonic sessions. This activity can be adapted to any occasion/activity.
For example you could use it as a dart/arrow board or roll an object and see what word it lands on.
I have used it in trays or baskets and with many items that the children roll , e.g pebbles, die, small cubes, spinning tops to name a few.
This resource includes 5 pdfs which contain 4 boards each (20 in total).
They cover the split digraphs a_e e_e i_e o_e u_e and include real and nonsense words ( pseudonyms ).
This resource is editable.
I hope you and your class enjoy this activity as much as my class do.
Many thanks
This game is great for promoting vocabulary/terminology in my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 10 PDF documents with 4 pages (40 game boards in all).
Each game board covers a range of sounds from phase 2-5 and set 2/3 RWI.
This game is a great revision activity that is fun and allows children to show what they know as well as collaborate/play with other children.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening test.
No real preparation needed. Simply print, cut and use.
To play who’s who the children need to pick a word and then ask other players questions to eliminate possible words (aliens).
Alternatively you can laminate boards and just ask children to choose a alien (word) and ask children to sit in a group to play.
Also I have used these as bingo boards for small groups (up to 4 children).
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks

This resource allows you to take your class through a step by step tasks that will see all your pupils achieving a fabulous piece of writing that is modeled but allows all your class to come up with differing pieces of writing.
The slides allow discussion and partner work. The rainbow strips can be cut up and placed on tables to allow the children to chose their own structure of their writing.
My class created some unbelievable pieces of writing using this scaffolded approach and I really hope that your class achieve the same result.
Many thanks
**The aim is to improve pupils scores over the year and parents/teachers are encouraged to either record time or score to see if the child can better themselves each time.
I also use these in class as revision aids or for quick games like make a column or row v a partner. Recently, I’ve started quizzing my class at the end of the week on the colour that they are on in the style of a Maths Bee! A bit like a spelling bee but obviously with Maths facts! The children love it!**
I also use these as homework activities every week! That means there are 23 weeks worth of Mental Maths Homework with this resources
This is set 3 and covers curriculum areas in Years 3 and 4
Included in this resource is set 3 of challenges that I send home to parents to help increase my pupil’s mental maths abilities and readiness for any impending Multiplication test at the end of Year 4!
The pdf is a thorough guide on how to use and gives yourself and the parents suggestions on how to use and adaptations to try at home.
There are 23 challenges with 13-15 questions for each challenge.
Each challenge/colour set is broken down into 3 abilities. 1 star 2 stars and 3 stars.
I really hope that these help support and further your class. Any feedback would be welcome as I’m currently trying to create other sets for Reception to Year 2.
Many thanks

Ideas on how to sue these resources.
Use them as flash cards in starters or plenaries.
Lay them out on floor and ask children to jump and say as if they are stepping stones.
Lay out the cards and ask children to find pairs
Send them out as homework games to support interventions.
I really hope that all these resources help support and enhance your children’s learning.
This 1 more/less 10more/less hunt can be differentiated many ways. I have already differentiated it 5 ways for my own class and printed out the sheets on different coloured paper for each group to find. Once the children have found the coloured shape that they've been given they must solve 1 more/less or 10 more less depending on their ability. They record on the answer sheets provided in the download.
I hope this helps and feel free to differentiated to suit your class.
Many thanks
