A great resource for an independent baking activity used in Reception (though could be used with children of other ages). I modeled how to make the cakes to my class, then put them in small, mixed ability groups to make the buns/ cupcakes. I did not help them at all unless they were really stuck and came to ask for help (except with the oven!) They knew that they had to help each other instead. It was amazing how well they did! The children demonstrated fantastic mathematical language, teamwork, communication and problem solving skills. Some This pack includes: recipe slides which can be used on the board to demonstrate to the children what they need to do, then be printed to create a recipe book. Recipe is written as simply as possible (higher ability Reception children should be able to read it) and represented in pictures too. All measurements are in scoops or spoonfuls so the children can measure out themselves. Design a cupcake writing/ drawing/ labeling sheet Ingredients list writing task sheet. Teacher notes and planning (including scoop sizes etc. so you can resource the activity so the recipe works!) EYFS areas covered within this resource : PSED Communication and language (following instructions, communicating ideas e.g. how to crack an egg) Physical development Reading writing Shape, space and measure

In this resource you will find differentiated planning and resources for Reception, Nursery or Year One. They are challenges and activities to be used on a snowy day or during a winter topic. Some work best when the children are playing in the snow outside. This would be suitable for remote learning. This pack includes: Snowman writing challenges- children can draw, name, label the snowmen they have made and even make a fact file (which could be used later for story writing) Maths challenges- measuring snowmen differentiated challenges making snowballs - number challenges ( numeral recognition and addition/subtraction) Snowball target practise maths game - tally and totals Photos of sowmen for inspiration science- melting/freezing ideas and worksheet to predict and test the best way ‘free’ the toys from the ice the fastest. Activities are colour coded for differentiation. Slides should be printed and used as challenge cards- I lamiate and put them around for children/staff to access. Children can access different levels of differentiation by using the colour coding and finding their name on a coloured grid. This ensures all children are suitably challenged, even in free flow/ continuous provision. Resources and plans cover EYFS Expressive Arts and Design (EAD) , Writing (W) , Number (N), Shape, Space and Measure (SSM), Communication and Language (CL) , PSED, Physical development (PD) and Understanding the world (UTW) objectives. They meet some national curriculum areas for Year 1.

Subtraction work sheet to support teaching of Mr Wolf’s Pancakes book. I used it to teach subtraction using a large number line which children jumped along, but it could be used with any method. There is a challenge word problem also to extend higher ability. Numbers used could easily altered to suit your class. Covers evidence towards ELG in Number.
