A year 2 resource that contains all Common Exception Words for Year 2. In addition, there is a cursive format for the word that can be laminated to practise good letter formation if you school endorses cursive script. Hope the resource is used and purposeful!

Here is a small bundle of domino and dice activities which would work well for touch counting exercises, group work exercises (i.e. working together to work out dice number sentences) and for the child that enjoys being challenged to find different domino totals. I hope you enjoy using the resources. Please note: resource has been bordered to allow ease of cutting them out to stick into books for evidence.

We've all seen weather charts with gorgeous velcro calendars. We also know they are quite expensive. This is my first upload of a Weather Chart suitable for the early years and Year 1 classes to aid spelling of days of the week, number and a good resource for establishing routine. This resource was blown up to A3 and cut and laminated. The seasons are grouped in 3 months according to colour and the Year is written on. I would recommend you getting a quality velcro board to stick this on. I find it was easy to slide in and out of behind a desk. I also purchased a second board that was red and have made Maths resources. Depending on how this one goes down with the community, I will upload more. They are more directed at Year 1. Please note: I don't have a PDF creator in order to allow you to edit the resource as you see fit. This includes a font that you may want to change. I suggest Comic Sans and, if your computer has the font, SassoonPrimaryInfant is usually a good one to use. I highly recommend you use a font that has the correct formation of the letter 'a' to aid the children. Thank you for looking at the resource and I hope you enjoy it should you decide to purchase it.

An activity mainly recapping 2D and looking more at 3D. It looks at the language involved in 2D and 3D shapes and the features. Please don't mind the voices of Chip the chipmunk - he is my Numeracy friend. :D Enjoy, Nick

Garden centre display with key words. There is a seed packet template I've modelled and they've drawn a picture in the middle, tried to spell the flower name, and put a price in the star. Worked pretty well, but use and abuse if you want to! There&'s also some random odds/even numbers for a display. Again, ignore or use them if you want. Hope they help.

I have made a few of these in the past but thought I'd post this one up to see if people could get it open and have a nosey at it. If you want more, shout. If not, please comment and rate as honestly as you can :-)

I thought it would be a good idea to share a timetable that I use regularly that I got praised for by Moderators. It shows a brief outline of the learning objective (related, in my case, to EYFS early learning goals), any recap and any intro/recap. Hope it is useful.

Let's try again! Readded. Nick

As we know, getting 100% attendance from our lovely darlings can be difficult. I made this certificate to give extra incentive for my learners to turn up. I also used it as a whole class certificate when we had 100% attendance for the whole week which was presented in assembly. Awesome. I put them into the printer with card at my school so it made it more authentic. Hope you enjoy! Nick

Has a quick recap on 2D shapes and then goes onto 3D shapes where point out the main features of certain 3D shapes. The shape hunt we went on in reception. It was a little advanced for them but we will come back to it after Xmas. The shape powerpoint was used in conjunction with making fireworks - cylincers, cuboids and pyramids on the end. Hope you like. Nick

The Carpet Champion was awarded for children who tried (contributed) in class, did good activate, sat nicely and had had a good day. I did it daily, you may like to do it weekly. I did give a prize in a touchy feely box with cheap pencils, chalks, rubbers, spinning tops, etc. The other is a certificate for most improved on colour tables for the end of term. I laminated them and allowed them a prize from a different box, but again, up to you! First upload so be gentle :) Mr Buckley
