Do you students need a resource to help support them with their mathematics in class or at home? This maths mat is ideal for children in Year 1. A bright, colourful resource which once laminated can be used time and time again.
This colourful three page resource is great when learning about sea creatures or after reading the Rainbow fish. This resource is differentiated to support different children’s abilities.
The new framework for the early years foundation stage describes the three characteristics of effective teaching and learning as:
Playing and exploring: children investigate and experience things and ‘have a go’;
Active learning: children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties and enjoy achievements;
Creating and thinking critically: children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas and develop strategies for doing things.
This observation overview uses the statements from Development Matters 2020. It has been designed to record observations over the year, to give practitioners an overview of how each child learns. The statements from Development Matters 2020 are on each sheet, alongside a space for adults to record their observations of the child.
They are colourful and match the Characteristics posters that I have made.
This is a great tool for your children to have next to them during their literacy lessons.
Contains all the phase 2-5 high frequency words. The coloured sections are split into the 4 different phases. All tricky words are identified by a little coloured alien.
This resource can be displayed around the room to support all children.
