Hello! Thanks for viewing my shop. I've been teaching now for over 10 years and was a teaching assistant before that. I'm currently teaching Year 3/4 but have taught in EYFS, Year 1 and 2, & Yr 6. I've worn many hats during my teaching career and I'm now deputy head of a small but ever growing successful first school!
I love creating resources that can be used to capture and engage the children in my class that allow them to really enjoy their learning.Please get in touch and leave feedback!

I have included a pdf and word version (so you can edit to suit the needs of your class). There is also a smart board presentation to help demonstrate how to make different amounts using place value counters to help children bridge practical, concrete to abstarct situations.
There are 21 money questions that will allow your children to tackle money in different situations and concepts. These are designed to be used to allow your children to achieve greater depth by explaining their thinking and I would encourage your children to do so! I hope that these resources are useful and feel free to edit these to suit the needs of your class.
Many thanks!
There are three roll and name picture game boards that allow your children to create their own pseudonyms names for the aliens. Great practice for the Phonics Screening Check!
Roll an alien name Boards 1 to 3 -
vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e all with varied initial blends to start the word.
Alien name race boards
Board 1 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e
Board 2 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e (easier version)
Board 3 - vowel digraphs ai, ea, ie, ow, ue
Board 4 - digraphs ar , au, ee, or & oe
If the children role a six then they can choose their sound to use to create the alien name.
EDITABLE VERSIONS INCLUDED
**How to play: **
Roll the dice. When it lands on a number look for the sound designated to that number, ask the children to write it on whiteboard and soundout. If correct they can stay on that square of game board. Continue rolling and creating anmes for every alien they land on. For additional rules see rules attached to this resource. Allow children to make up rules!
Can be played with 1 or 2 players. Race game can be up to 4 players. Use counters/objects/coins etc as player pieces.
I really hope that you and your children get a lot out of playing these games.
Any feedback is welcome as I’m always looking to improve resources to support teachers and children to achieve their potential.
Thanks
Hi,
I’ve been teaching phonics for over 10 years and have successfully taught children to read phonetically using school bought schemes .
However, i’ve found that some children ( especially boys) find it more difficult to retain phonetic knowledge.
With this in mind i created lots of fun resources aimed at engaging children using a competitive and fun method.
I hope you and your children enjoy these resources ( many of which are editable ) !
Good luck and all the best
Hi,
This resource is great for whole lessons. You can model writing a sustained piece and structure how to add depth and creativity to a paragraph/short/long piece of writing.
I’ve played around with how I use this presentation, here are some suggestions, and if you find better ways then please share your good practice.
1. Print slides and allow children to use as prompts for writing about a stimulus.
2. Show children stimulus and then do some talk for writing, than ask them to write sentence/paragraph 1 and then share with class. Repeat process for all 6 sentence types.
3. Print the slides and cut the strips up. Allow children to mix and match to create different structures.
I really hope that this resource is useful.
Many thanks
****This resource is 100% editable! This resource contains 14 weeks of activities. Each day includes 4 questions and builds upon prior knowledge - each week coincides with the White Rose Maths hub scheme of learning for place value, addition and subtraction. This resource will help your children build upon skills previously covered and allows them to practice and embed key Maths concepts/skills.
Included are 14 worksheets with 5 days worth of activity on each week with 4 Qs a day. 20 qs a week so that’s 280 questions!
The concept of revisiting prior learning is becoming more and more crucial to helping children attain and cement key skills. It’s a great way to achieve mastery and it’s proving to be a huge success within my class.
I keep them in a wallet and the children complete each day either in the morning during registration or when we get a minute! My colleague uses them and sticks them in her maths books in concertina style and the children unfold them when completing the correct day. I encourage my class to draw calculations, use resources, discuss concepts with one another.
I hope that this is really useful to you and would appreciate any feedback/reviews.
Thanks for purchasing!
This resource includes 4 games boards with coloured background and 4 without background so you can save toner when printing. I’ve also included some alien cards which you can use to plays snap or splat games etc.
simply ask the children to roll a die and then move their piece to the number rolled. if they can read the word then they land on it, if not they cannot.
Great for small groups or 1:2:1 sessions.
To increase the length of a game you could use die with only 3 numbers or join two boards together.
I hope that your class enjoy playing these boards.
This resource includes:
1 worksheet on division
1 worksheet on negative numbers
2 worksheet on generic Year 6 arithmetic
1 worksheet on multiplication
Over 175 questions for your pupils to tackle.
Great to use as a whole class, 1-2-1, small groups, homework or cut sections out as extension tasks.
Includes answers
I hope this pack helps you and your class!
Many thanks and good luck
This resource includes one game board. It is ideal for revision of angles and covering such vocab as acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles etc…
I have used this as a 1:2:1 resource and in small groups to help recap or pre teach learning.
I hope you find this useful.
Thanks
This resource structures persuasive writing for your whole class. I have used this resource for Year 3/4 but it can easily be adapted for year 5/6.
In the past I have used this a whole lesson and written each sentence as a class to really create an in depth piece of writing. I would ask the children for their ideas and they would collaboratively come up with ideas and then write down after sharing them with whole class.
I have also cut the sentence strips out and allowed my higher attaining pupils to play around with the structure.
This resource allows the lowers a structure to follow and the opportunity to write without worrying about content and structure.
I hope that you enjoy using this resource and that your children’s writing is wonderful!
Many thanks
These questions are perfect for showing greater depth in lower ks2 and could be used to challenge your very higher year 2 pupils.
I hope you and your children find these resources useful.
This game was loved by my mixed R/1 class so much that I created a 4 player A3 sheet version. It promotes reading and sharing.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 game boards (20 boards in all).
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. Boards contain a mixture of nonsense/alien words and real.
The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on. They don’t move if they can’t. The other pupils really enjoy being the ref and check their friends learning. To make it a longer game use a die just up to 3.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions.
You could simply use this to time your children on how fast they can read the words.
To extend game just overlap the game boards and make the track longer.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great when doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes 5 game boards and the sounds au, oi, ear /ur pronunciation of ear, ar and ea.
There is a mixture of nonsense and real words on each board.
For best results print A3!
I have asked children to select their playing piece from a basket of cars and used a large foam die! just to add a twist and gimmick to it.
I have used these with a class of 20 plus but found they are great for use in interventions and 1:2:1 teaching.
Each board takes roughly 20 mins to play with 3 players.
In the past I’ve held small competitions to see who won overall.
Hope your class love this game!
Thanks
This resource includes one pdf with 16 questions and a word version so you can edit to suit the needs of your class.
These questions are designed to get your children thinking and show that they are working at a greater depth in Geometry.
I hope that your class find these useful and that they help you to gather the necessary evidence needed to show greater depth and mastery of angles.
Many thanks
I hope that you find this resource useful. I have differentiated it 3 ways. Even for the lower abilities I’ve included some questioning that will ask them to reason and explain their thinking, as showing greater depth can be included for all to try.
Many thanks
This game is loved by my mixed R/1 class.
This download includes 5 PDF documents with 4 pages (20 boards in all) and a smartboard version of all hard copies for interactive whiteboard.
Each split digraph a_e , e_e, i_e , o_e and u_e have been split into three levels of difficulty and the middle ability has a copy with the sounds highlighted to further differentiate. The pupils simply roll die and then move car and say word they land on.
These sounds are ideal to cover if you are working on phase 5 or set 3 RWI phoncis schemes.
This can be used as a whole class activity / starter or with 1:1/group interventions. The interactive Smartboard game uses a die that only goes up to 3. This makes it a snappy but not too long a game.
Children could play best out of three or you could use the game boards to set out a mini competition/tournament around the classroom. It’s also great wen doing transport as a theme and to check and stretch learning.
I’ve included the word documents so that you can edit and create your own words.
Great revision activity for the upcoming phonics screening.
No real preparation needed. Simply print and use. You only need toy cars or a playing piece and a die.
I really hope you and your class enjoy this as much as my class do. Please leave feedback if possible :)
Thanks
This resource includes 7 game boards and an Interactive Smart board version. The alien words (pseudonyms) cover all the split digraphs and there is one board that covers just the sounds.
To further extend the game you could hold your own world cup with group rounds and then knockout rounds.
You could use two boards or a die up to 3.
I hope that your class enjoys playing these games.
Many thanks for viewing.
This advent calender is great to add a bit of fun to problem solving and reasoning. It covers subtraction, addition, multiplication and division.
Simply click on each window on the calender and a problem for that day appears.
There are 23 problems.
Many have the answers and structures to model the answer.
I hope that this resource challenges your pupils. Feel free to adapt each problem to suit the needs of your class.
Here are 3 game boards and one blank. You can edit any game board to suit the sound your focusing on. Hope your class enjoys them. Delete the backgrounds and turn off colour background to print out black and white versions.
Thanks.
This guide will help you to create your own Interactive White Board activities. If you have any comments on how to improve the guide or add to the activities then that would be great. Hope it helps.
I'm using these bookmarks to prompt and remind the children of our presentation expectations of our school.
You could place children's targets on back or just use them to remind the children what page they are on next (As at a young age they have a habit of missing pages out!)
I have attached the word doc so you can attach your school's feedback policy etc...and make it suit your needs.
Many thanks, hope you find this useful.
