An individual recording sheet for baseline phonic assessments. Assesses single sound recognition (a-z), oral blending, CVC word and tricky word reading (Phase 2). Ideally repeated half-termly or termly to show progression. Can also support allocating children to streaming groups for differentiated teaching. Flashcards of the words and sounds within the assessment are also included.

A comprehensive set of weekly phonic lesson plans, covering all Set 2 sounds. Each weekly plan covers three sounds per week and the plans are fully editable. Sounds covered are: ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, air, ir, ou, oy.

12 weeks of Maths planning for the Summer Term in Reception (60 lessons). The plans are based on White Rose and Numberblocks approaches and are fully editable, featuring assessment points from Development Matters and continuous provision opportunities. During the Summer term, we focus on: Repeating Patterns Addition (counting on) Subtraction (counting back) Numbers to 20 Doubling Halving and Sharing Length, Height and Distance Weight and Capacity Problem Solving Autumn and Spring Term planning are also available for purchase in my store.

A Powerpoint presentation and separate PDF handout notes that explore how to take high quality observations in the Early Years. Useful for staff training or INSET sessions, particularly for teachers new to EYFS or Early Years Practitioners that could benefit from extra guidance. The presentation details what makes a good quality observation and how observations can reliably inform assessment and provision. Real examples of EYFS observations from Learning Journals are included with photographic evidence. These observations are then analysed - what makes them good observations? How could they be improved?

A selection of photographs featuring eyes and mouths in different expressions (happy, angry, scared, sad etc.), and a full page face template for sticking them on. We have found this really useful for teaching children about emotions and when encouraging them to speak about how they are feeling. They can either be used independently as a cutting/sticking activity for children, or laminated and provided within continuous provision to encourage children to show you how they are feeling when they are struggling to articulate it.

A set of phone numbers for display in the Home Corner - includes ‘Take Away Food’ (with photo support and labels) and fictional character telephone numbers (e.g. Goldilocks, Spiderman, Batman etc.). Designed to support reading and mathematical development in the Early Years.

A set of simple labels for the Home Corner, with photographs to support early reading development. Includes labels for: cups, plates, bowls, spoons, knives, forks, food, pots, pans, boxes, tins and fruit.

A visual price list for a vegetable shop role play area. Featuring photographs of vegetables as well as photographs of coins and various ways of using 1p and 2p coins to make each amount.

Editable peg labels that can be easily personalised for your class - simply click ‘Change picture’ to add your children’s photographs to each label, and edit the text for the names of your pupils. Change the font to suit your preferences. 36 labels included. A simple back to school resource to support classroom setup.

This pack features a CVC word list for Letters and Sounds Phase 2, as well as two files of corresponding word cards - one set with sound buttons (dots and dashes) underneath letters, and one set without. The words are organised into Letters and Sounds sets 1-5: Set 1 (s a t p) Set 2 (i n m d) Set 3 (g o c k) Set 4 (ck e u r) Set 5 (h b f ff l ll ss)

A selection of 20 different photograph cards and matching captions, featuring CVC words from Phase 2 (Letters and Sounds). We have found these really useful for a range of phonic activities - you can separate the captions from the photos and ask children to match them together. We also use them in phonics lessons, on displays, or have them available in the reading corner for children to access independently.

A visual playdough recipe for children in the Early Years. Easy to follow with symbols and words.

12 weeks of Maths planning for the Autumn Term in Reception. The plans are based on White Rose and Numberblocks approaches and are fully editable, featuring assessment points from Development Matters and continuous provision opportunities. We focus mainly on number recognition to 10 in the Autumn term, as well as comparing length and introducing 2D shapes. The planning features 60 separate Maths sessions, and as such can easily be continued into the Spring term for settings that prefer a different pace or who may choose to repeat sessions for further consolidation. Resources that I use alongside this planning are also available for purchase in my store. Spring Term planning is now available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/white-rose-numberblocks-maths-planning-spring-term-eyfs-12196549

A PDF document with over 20 ideas for outdoor activities, in line with the Forest School approach to education (I have received formal training in the Forest School approach). Detailed photographs are included to support the explanation of each activity. Can also be used for staff training or INSET sessions, or simply to gather ideas to improve outdoor practice and provision.

Four aeroplane windows for display in an airport/aeroplane role play. Features photographic views of the pyramids in Egypt, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, London and New York.

A TV screen to support mathematical development in the Home Corner. Includes channel numbers to 8.

A set of 10 posters to display how many children can play in each area, from 1-10. Each poster has a photograph featuring the corresponding number of children, to support early number recognition development.

A large selection of price tags for use in a role play shop or Maths lesson. The price tags feature different coin combinations for 1p - 20p, allowing teachers to differentiate their resources and to support mathematical progress. We use these both for role play shops and as a matching game when introducing money - separating the price labels from the coins and asking children to match the totals. Includes: Simple price tags 1p - 10p featuring only 1p coins Differentiated price tags 1p - 10p featuring two different coin combinations, using both 1p coins and 2p coins Differentiated price tags 5p - 20p featuring 5p coins, 10p coins and 20p coin Blank price tag templates for children to create their own The download includes a ready-to-print PDF file as well as an editable Word document, should you wish to create your own combinations of coins and price tags with the templates.
