Splat the sound Phonics game
Practise both recognising sounds and reading alien words with this fabulous minion themed game. The idea is each child has a pupil sheet and something to splat with, this could be their hand, a fly splatter or we used a ruler each. Start the game then when the sound flashes on the screen the children must find the word on their sheet that contains that sound and splat it!!!
This game is lots of fun!
There are 3 different versions for each game, with 6 rounds to play so thats 18 different games in total.
Bundle
Mega Phonics Screening Check Revision Bundle
All my best resources rolled into one Mega bundle. Includes:
The Tes Recommended Monster Book of Phonics 30 page Revision booklet.
A set of fun Phonics Screening Games to print and play in class.
A parent pack with 6 weeks of activities for parents to do with their child at home.
The book of Phonics screening poetry that revises Phase 5 and provides activities to practice alien words as well as ticking of some of those poetry objectives.
Phonics Screening Check Parent Pack Revision
This pack contains all of the information parents need to know about the Phonics Screening Check, along with a set of Phonics Mats -6 in total- so enough to cover the half-term before the test. These contain 6 short activities that are completed over a week and help the children practice the key skills needed to pass the screening check. I have also included a parent help sheet that explains how to do each task. Having parents involved really boosted my results last year and this pack was simple enough for them to follow. I printed it out and handed to all of my parents during parents evening.
Alien Crash Landing English planning for KS1 Space Topic
Start your Space topic with a bang by setting up an alien crash landing! This includes my planning based on this scenario and all writing templates as well as an explanation of how I set it up. Aimed at Year1/2 all writing templates are editable.
Phonics Screening Poetry -Phase 5
This is a lovely way to revise Phase 5 and have a go at reading alien words ready for the Phonics Screening Check.
The booklet includes a little poem to revise each Phase 5 sound, the children then need to look closely at the poem to find the words that have that sound in, as well as read the words in the grid and sort out the real words from the alien words. There is also a handy visualise page which I sometimes use to check if the children understand what the poem is about, it is another way of ticking off the comprehension and poetry objectives whilst still working on sounds!

Room on the Broom/Halloween Planning KS1
1 weeks worth of English planning based upon a witch visiting our classroom during Halloween week, I set up a crime scene with a witches hat/broken broom stick , slime etc this created the basis for our writing the rest of the week.

Each time they complete a task they collect the corresponding coloured lolly stick and place it in their pocket on your display until they manage to do all tasks and complete their rainbow! Included is the title, pockets for each child either with a unicorn or dragon with photo or with just their name, signs for each area in your provision which detail the task, and a certificate for those who complete or do good work etc. Everything is editable so that you easily chnage the tasks week by week.

Bob the Man on the Moon English Planning Key Stage 1
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW :) Aimed at Year 1 or 2 Includes 10 lessons worth of planning with over 50 PowerPoint slides to compliment teaching and activities. Also includes differentiated writing templates where needed.
Starts off with the children using inference skills to find out information about the mysterious Bob, this then progresses to the children writing questions, creating a character profile and retelling the story. In the second week the children take an imaginary trip to the moon where they role play being on a moon tour, which leads to them creating and describing their own characters and settings. The unit ends with the children planning and writing their own Space stories.
