I have uploaded my Year 1 Parent Workshop powerpoint that I used for Phonics Screening. It details when, how and what parents can do to support their child at home before the check. It also details alien and real words and why these are used in the test. Alongside this, I sent home a past paper for parents to use with their child.

As part of our transition, I have created some resources to support KS1 children (my class has both year 1 and 2 children, so this acts as a refresher for the year 2’s and an introduction for the year 1’s) with the editing and enhancing process through the amazing ‘Here We Are’ book by Oliver Jeffers. My resources are simple and aim to support the children with the editing and enhacning skills they will be using throughout the years. This unit is only a mini unit (3 days worth of planning) but could easily be stretched out over a week. The resources including group, paired and independent work, as well as picture evidence sheets. This download also includes a break down of the days. Teaching slides available to match the resources!

I have resourced some activities that allow year 1 to develop their addition skills to 20. The activities are differentiated and colour coded: B tasks (basic skills needed in red), A tasks (advancing/applying skills in orange) and D tasks (deep understanding in green). These are planned alongside the White Rose Scheme. I have also uploaded the pre/post assessment to match as a separate document, so these work alongside the resources.

I have created some fun, light activities for my year 1 children’s second week back to school.

Here are resources for 1 week for my Off Phonics children. This pack includes the text for the week (DISCLAIMER I did not write the text, just edited to suit my children), 3 reading lessons (based on VIPERS) and a writing lesson aimed as a free write, based on the text. My group contains some VERY high ability Year 2’s, HA Year 2 children and some HA Year 1 children. Rather than adapt tasks, I adapt through support and extension.

Here are my teaching slides to accompany week 2 resources for Year 1’s adventure, Fantastic Mr Fox. You will find cross curricular, differentiated slides including Writing and Reading lessons.

Use these ‘starter’ activities to get your children used to answering a variety a maths questions in an arithmetic way. The questions are mostly designed to recap past learning of addition and subtraction within 20, including number sentences with missing numbers and using a number line.

I also printed a past paper for each of the papers for the parents to take home and share with their child.

These resources are aimed at a Year 1 cohort in September, mostly focusing on the Science objectives about the 5 senses and main body parts. There are also resources that cover Geography objectives (capital cities and counties in the UK), writing opportunities, whole class reading resources and music ideas.
