A set of letter recognition peg cards (upper case to lower case) and initial sound picture peg cards. Cut out and laminate cards then provide small pegs for children to select the correct letters / sounds.

A fun maths activity to practise number recognition, counting to 20, ordering numbers to 20 and writing numbers. I introduced this in a live lesson with my Reception children and they really enjoyed doing it.

Pictures of pets to label with arrows and text boxes to write in.

Avery label template with EYFS Reading and Writing statement 40-60, ELG and Exceeding statements. I use alongside a date stamp and next steps statements to stick into learning journeys / folders / books during the year.

Year 1 statments checklist on one page I stick on inside of English / Maths books to tick off / highlight each term while marking so I can easily see gaps.

Prompt cards for a lanyard with the new development matters statements and summarised support statements. I laminate these and clip them with a ring clip or carabiner for adults in class to use in observations or just as a reference for activities. I am working on all the other areas, so will be uploading these when they are done.

Sort the parts of a pumpkin - laminate the sheets and let the children disect a pumpkin. Can they sort the different parts? Measure pumpkins - provide unifix or multilink cubes for children to measure pumpkins and write down how many cubes they are tall / wide. Colour your pumpkin sheet. Trace and write sheet.

I have created some colour grouped prompt cards with the new Development Matters 2020 statements in and summarised support statements. I laminate these and connect them with a carabiner or ring clip as a class prompt for adults doing observations or for reference in the classroom.

Powerpoint with colour coded number blocks to show the progression of adding ‘one more’ beginning at 1. Also added stem sentences for each number sentence and a number sentence. Animated transitions so each slide shows blocks appearing one at a time. Used with Mastering number and also number blocks planning.

Powerpoint of colour coded pictures with stem sentences that support Mastering Number in EYFS. Colours match the Numberblocks characters. Each slide shows a pictoral representation of the stem sentences e.g. I am 4, I am 1,2,3,4…blocks. I have used these as quick recall for each number to familiarise the children with using the number blocks, but also to learn about parts of a number for each number. Bundles available with other numbers and mastering number slides.

Year 3 Autumn 2 planning and spelling lists to support the No Nonsense Spelling programme. I found these really useful - hope you do too!

Spelling planning for 6 weeks with corresponding spelling lists (with at least 10 spellings) which support the No Nonsense Year 3 spelling book and resources. I hope you find these useful. Please share / review if you do.

Here is a project I set for my year 1 children during remote learning. They really enjoyed it and created some lovely booklets, posters and fact files.
