A5 posters to decorate any classroom, with writing features on them with examples taken from different Harry Potter books. We have these up in my classroom and use them as a tool during lessons, and the children are used to using them as a reminder for the different grammatical elements they will need for writing and for their SPaG tests.
Visual learning and reminders are a great way to enhance that sticky knowledge we want our children to have. Having concrete reminders on the wall are a brilliant way to give children ownership of their own learning. Harry Potter is always a fun and engaging way to reach the children too.
Teacher mail is a positive reinforcement tool to support behaviour management in any classroom. Quick and easy way to communicate with parents and support the classroom environment.
Tick off positive behaviours for individual children and write a short comment to send home to parents. Instant positive reinforcement to support in class behaviour and create a purposeful working environment.
With the eye-catching design, children and parents enjoy putting these positive notes on display in the home. It is a great way to enhance communication with parents without picking up the phone.
A Top Trumps based card game testing children’s knowledge of fractions and tests their ability to compare fractions with different denominators. With 18 different cards featuring different Marvel Avengers heroes and villians, children will use these cards to play a game of Top Trumps.
Each card has 3 different categories. Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will compare the two fractions and have to convert the different denominators to find out which is bigger. The child with the largest fraction wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards.
Children love this game and it’s a great lesson to do once the children have learnt the basics of converting different denominators to compare fractions. There’s no need for extra prep and it keeps the children engaged throughout.
A set of 2 posters for collective nouns. 1 for animals and 1 for sea-creatures.
The collective nouns are uncommon ones, and children love using them in their writing. They make great posters for any classroom or any space in school.
French vocabulary poster featuring Christmas words. Lovely to add some festive decoration to any classroom that is relelvant to the children and can bring French into the classroom.

This ‘Forgetful Santa’ booklet aims to support vocabulary acquisition of everyday items such as hats, boots, gloves as well as different colours.
The children go through the booklet and identify what Santa has forgotten, and fill in the blanks for the sentence “Santa has forgotten his…” The final page includes extra fill in the blank sentences about Santa as well as space for children to experience writing their own sentences about Santa.This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently.
Includes 2 work sheets for children with EAL or SEN. Children need to match the cut out gingerbread men with the digits on to match to the Gingerbread board that shows the pictorial representations of the numbers. This encourages subitising and supports children in linking the digits to the amount from 1-10.
The second sheet focuses on children matching and learning the names of the different shapes. Children will need to cut the shapes out and match them to the named reindeer shapes above.
All of these worksheets are a great starter activity or full lesson together when combined. Both encourage independent working and are linked specifically to the Standard 4 of the Pre-Key Stage standards.
I have used this smart board and worksheet for 3 years in a row now and it’s fantastic each time! It’s two-days worth of smart boards with worksheets at the end of the input slides for easy group marking. Work sheets for printing are on seperate PDF documents.
They all have reasoning questions throughout and finish with a ‘platinum’ challenge which is a deeper learning mastery question. It follows the white rose scheme and has different levels to the worksheet as part of the mastery curriculum. All children can complete this sheet as the differentiation is done within the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum element.
Lower Ability children will be able to complete the bronze and usually the silver and these steps provide stepping stones for them to each gold which is the age related target. The middle and higher abilities will still be challenged as the reasoning questions sprinkled throughout will test their knowledge of multiplication.

This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently. I have used this booklet when there is no TA timetabled for my lesson, or as a starter for children with SEN or EAL while I deliver the input of the main lesson before going to support these children with their work.
It has been created so that all you need to do is print the document, and then arrange it in the order of the numbers on the bottom of the page. It is an easy booklet to collate, and then just slip the word bank within in for safe keeping.
Great end of year quiz for children in upper KS2 on Power Point with a recording sheet. Includes 6 different rounds, including a lightning round, my class enjoy it every year.
The rounds include a dissected chocolate round, emoji movie round, geography image round, a zoomed in round, snowy visitors round and a lightning round of quick fire questions set on a timer.
The children have a sheet to record their answers on and the Quiz is set up with animations so it’s easy to follow.
Includes a full breakdown of the curriculum as well as assessment materials. This interactive Power Point is a full year long term plan (coverage map) that is linked directly to the National Curriculum, with core knowledge for teachers to focus on. Each subject has a list of core knowledge (learning intentions) along with lesson ideas and how to work scientifically for all abilities.
The Power Point is designed with a contents page that is interactive. As you click on a different item, for example “Assessments” it will take you directly to the page that explains how to asses each strand of the Science curriculum. Every strand of the Science curriculum is covered with a list of equipment, key websites to use for CPD and lesson content and has specific examples of how to teach the lessons. There is a key vocabulary slide for each strand, helping to keep it at the center of the teaching.
The assessments are linked to the teaching within the coverage map ad appropriate to year 1. At the end of each strand children will complete a vocabulary assessment and a ‘What I know’ assessment. In the vocabulary section the children need to draw a line from the word to the correct image, and the ‘what I know’ section asks 2-3 questions based on their substantive and disciplinary knowledge of each topic.
Retro style with Pastel colours, Maths working wall lettering ready to cut and print.
My class love this lettering, it’s got a 90’s feel and matches the rest of the working wall bundle perfectly.
This bundle includes boho style lettering for your Maths Area as well as an interactive clock, a multiplication display and roman numerals pastel cards.
This pastel, boho collection of display materials brights up the classroom as well as supports learning in any KS2 class room.
The Roman Numerals go up to 20 individually, and then jump by 10 up to 100 and have 500 and 1000 too.
The interactive clock should be laminated and the hands need a split pin through the middle so that children and adults can move the hands around the clock- making it interactive. It also shows the minute segments so that children can visually see how an hour is made up of 60 minutes.
This bundle includes some of my favourite ways to enjoy summer with a class while also keeping them focused and engaged on their learning.
Football Multiplication game.
The aim of the game is for the children to see who can cross the pitch board game first. Each player has 15 Match Attax cards and different coloured football pieces. The children will take it in turns to be the ‘attacking’ player. They will roll the dice and multiply the number on the dice by the number for ‘attack’ on their player’s card. The opposite player will then roll their dice and multiply that number by the number for the ‘defense’ on their player’s card. The child with the highest score wins and gets to place their football onto the pitch. The children put their cards to the bottom of the pile and it’s now the other child’s turn to be the ‘attacker’. This is continued until one player has reached the opposition’s side of the pitch.
**Avengers fraction card game and Comparing denominators fraction game. **
A Top Trumps based card game testing children’s knowledge of fractions of amounts. With 18 different cards featuring different Marvel Avengers heroes and villians, children will use these cards to play a game of Top Trumps.
Each card has 3 different categories. Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will both try to solve the fraction of amount question in that category. The child with the highest number, wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards.
Maths Dobble Snap cards game
These game cards aim to reinforce the idea that the number of objects remains the same when they are rearranged, providing nothing has been added or taken away.
There are 3 different games you can play with them to show cardinality. Dobble, find the matching pair and the cardinality hunt. The instructions included give detailed, visual instructions on how to play these games. You can also use them for simple adding lessons too. We use them to support children with EAL or SEND in a busy year 4/5 classroom. But can be used in any year group, or for specific individual’s planning.
Predator, Prey, Producer game.
This food chain game gets children to explore food chains in an interactive way. Simply cut the cards out, laminate if you like and then distribute them to the class. There are 32 cards in the set and they all match up to a specific food chain.
Once they have found their food chain and put it together, children can then identify which are the producers, the prey and the predators.
I have used this with year 4 and year 5 classes before and it’s a great way to visually show them how a food chain works.
The cards are editable, so to make it trickier you could remove the text from the bottom of the cards so that the children have to find their own food chains using their previous knowledge of living things and their habitats.
