Hello! Welcome to my little shop! I love making resources. I like to make resources that are colourful and practical. I like resources that develop our children's learning, make our classrooms look better, save our work life balance and above all make our jobs easier to do! If there is a specific resource you want just contact me! I am also very passionate about aspects of teaching that currently do not have enough resources out there. Check out my ebook on behaviour management!

Adapted problem solving questions from NRICH Board game to work alongside it. In groups children answer the problems, once they answer they get to roll the die on the board game. They then do another problem. There are 5 problems in total. This planning is meant for a Year 1-2 class and a week’s worth of planning. Children should ideally do one problem a lesson. I would also include adding and subtracting practise which is included in the PowerPoint. For further differentiation, model the problem on the board before children go to their groups. Enjoy :)

If you are like me you are probably setting up new activities every week. This can be hard for your staff if they don’t know what to do! They cannot help the children accordingly and that means the activities are not facilitated properly, could be unsafe and left in a mess! Nooooo! I have a KS1 guide template that I update each week. I stick it in the KS1 area in A3 for all teachers on duty to see. **Just delete the text and images and replace with your own
