3 sets of increasing complexity. Each set is a double sided A4 card. These go along with the other talk like… cards on my TES store to support and promote oracy in the classroom.
Designed to be printed back to back and laminated, we use these cards one between 2 as a resource in class.
Print the relevant card for each child. Children colour the stars once theyve secured each task. Children/ adults can tick off the facts they are getting right so they can focus on the ones they are finding tricky (2 star task).
Cards are to track, motivate and support children to learn their tables.
These cards have a blank space for you to add your own character on top of the aura bubble at the base of the tree. If you want the colour monster characters, drop me an email and I will send you them with the backgrounds removed so you can add these.
Cards include:
Happy
Sad
Anger
Fear
Calm
Love
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.
These cards are ideal to support children as they learn through talk, allowing for high quality discussions.
These cards are NOT editable. Simply print, laminate and then you can add you topic specific vocabulary on the empty boxes provided - allowing them to be used in any unit of work.

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!
These cards are ideal to support children as they go through the explore, design, make and evaluate cycle of DT.

As shown on my instagram account @journal_of_a_headteacher we use this template to record our weekly Picture News discussions and add them to a floor book. Simply summarise the week’s story and snip the images from the weekly powerpoint to add to the template - see example on page 2. Print and add notes/ post it notes to during your class discussion.
