Halloween is on the way and what better way to motivate those little writers than a haunted house! My class love this activity and have produced some fabulous work in the past! Simply choose which writing activity sheet - A senses poem or a description of a haunted house- then give the children the house pieces to colour in and stick either end of their writing, it makes a fantastic display! Includes both editable writing templates as pictured Colour version of haunted house Black and white version of haunted house

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.

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.

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.

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!

Make those letters to Father Christmas that extra bit special with this lovely printable craft. The children just need to cut out and stick together as pictured :)

Templates for an Elf diary and other bits of writing linked to the Elf.

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. We read Room on the Broom to develop ideas further and so that the children could see witches can be nice/friendly.

1 weeks worth of English planning aimed at Year 1 in the Autumn Term, we went outside and collected leaves to make our own leaf men, the children then used these to prompt their own writing. This story is perfect to get the children writing a basic retell with repeat pattern.

These are how I mark childrens writing and Maths, they stick in a bookmark each lesson and all I need to do is tick off the things they have achieved and circle something they need to work on next lesson. The children know what the pictures mean so instantly understand the feedback its then easy to see progress from lesson to lesson. Fully editable.

An overview detailing which phases etc to teach and when throughout Year 1- based on Letters and Sounds

This is a resource pack to create a rainbow challenge area in your classroom. The idea is that in each area of your continuous provision you have a challenge for the children to complete which are linked to the curriculum objectives. 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.

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.
