My pupils love to play bingo and these games of bingo are perfect for practicing phonics.
Included are three different bingo games. One game to revise alternatives for the long a sound, another game for alternatives for the or sound and the last game alternatives for long e.
Each game includes 7 different game cards for the players and all of the word cards for the game master. This is great for small groups but I’ve also played this with the whole class meaning there are multiple winners each round.
The children loved it and I hope you will too.

Maths working walls are an essential in a primary classroom. Here are the headings needed to create a cute working wall within a calming classroom.
Included:
-Natural hessian look bunting which says maths working wall
-headings which say: we are learning to, vocabulary, examples of work, top tips for excellent work, WAGOLL, challenge and questions.
-Numbers 0-20: one number per card. Each card has the number in digits, a ten frame and the written word.
The bunting lettering is in bold capital letters and says maths working wall. Also included is a bunting flag with an apple and another with a sweet little chalk board.
The headings have a large space to write under them. I laminate these and then use a white board marker to write and wipe as needed throughout the topic. I reuse them again and again. So once the board is set up it’s very easy to change and add to as often as required.
I have this same display but in bright stripes if you’re after something more colourful.
