Pre/Post Assessments for Year 1 Maths units including weight/volume, money, time, position and direction (geometry), 2D shapes (geometry), fractions (of shapes) and fractions (of amounts). Most content runs directly alongside White Rose. The sections start with the basic skills needed for that unit, then advancing/applying skills and then deeper understanding.
I have resourced some activities that allow year 1 to consolidate their addition, subtraction and number knowledge. They also aim at recapping shape and measurement. As the tasks go on, they focus of early arithmetic methods and general number knowledge.
I have created some fun, light activities for my year 1 children’s third week back to school. They include some maths resources and phonics activities alongside some fun, well-being activities aimed at getting the children into school life. They are mostly based around The Day The Crayons Quit. They can be edited and adapted as you wish! They match week 3s teaching slides that can be found on my page!
I have uploaded my ‘How To Catch A Star’ instruction writing unit which lasted for 2 and half weeks with my mixed Year 1/2 class.

Along the way, ‘Going Deeper’ challenges aim to push greater depth children. The pack also includes an end piece of paper to support layout and presentation.

As part of our transition, I have created some teaching slides (to go alongside my resources that are also available) 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. The teaching slides are broken into 3 days, following our teaching process ‘My Turn’ which acts as sole teacher input/modelling, ‘Our Turn’ where the children help me practise the skill, and then ‘Your Turn’ where the children practise before completing the task. The slides also have an early morning welcome slide.
The resources including group, paired and independent work, as well as picture evidence sheets.
