Healthy Eating Resource Pack (EYFS/KS1)
This 37 page download includes over 30 Photos showing healthy food. There are a few 'unhealthy' pictures. These are great for discussion in EYFS/KS1 when covering the Unit Healthy Eating and Teeth.
A great game for EYFS is 'What shall I put in my trolley today?'
I have included one image of a trolley that can be used for this game.
This download does NOT include worksheets. These images can be used for display purposes, circle time, talking and listening exercises and/or for ESL Learners covering basic vocabulary.
If you are interested in worksheets you can also take a look at my other Healthy Eating and Teeth pack.

Literacy Support Words Mats
We have been trying to improve creative writing in our school and so we asked the children what stops them from writing. Many found that it’s the thought of not spelling something correctly and taking time to phonetically spell the word, for many children this is frustrating. These word mats will help with writing fluency.
6 Word Mats are included
-Farmyard
-Seaside and The Coast
-The Ocean
-Monster Adjectives
-Family
-Transport
Files are in black and white. Children may colour pictures. Word Mats can be slipped into plastic folders, this works really well.

Try these fun real life photographs with your class!
Pack includes photographs for common digraphs.

It's important that when students have grasped the concept of phonics that we support them in their independent writing, this means extending their learning, using that phonetic knowledge and applying it. This pack will encourage students to write, it's a child-led activity. Every page includes a picture to encourage children and give them an idea of what to write about. It also works great for those emergent writers that prefer colouring! They get to do both! Once completed, these are great for evidence based profiles or portfolios, depending on your school policy.
❂ 20 templates with pictures, 4 lines below for students to write.

You can extend many of these activities and questions further.
