Whatâs included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one âNovemberâ word search (page 1). The answers on page 2 clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference.
Other seasonal wordsearches including Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Remembrance Day, Bonfire Night and other seasonal celebrations are also available in my TES shop.
Whoâs it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x14 (across) by x13 (down) grid and featuring easy to read size 25 âSassoon Infant Stdâ font.
The November words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x19 words to find in total and nouns are illustrated on page 1.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards). Words to find are; bonfire, diwali, fireworks, guy fawkes (no space), chrysanthemum, poppies, baked, potato, toffee, apple, all saints day (no space), all souls day (no space), armistice, dark early (no space) and remember.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a âhighlighterâ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead âcrossed outâ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

Whatâs included?
This download includes x6 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. For sounding out x8 words made up of Phase 2 and 3 sounds, matching these with the x8 images. All items included are designed to stand up.
Whatâs it for?
This resource has been designed to be an interesting activity for learners to engage in independently to consolidate their knowledge of Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds. Learners are to sound out the words, looking at the graphemes printed on the âword cardsâ and match these words with the corresponding âstand up character/picture cardsâ. There are x8 words and x8 images to read and match.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who have been learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds as well as older learners needing to revisit these sounds who would enjoy this Christmas themed activity.
Resource DetailsâŠ
Each word card has a coloured triangle (top, left). Pink indicates these words are using Phase 2 sounds. Purple indicates that these words use Phase 3 sounds. Red graphemes indicate that these sounds might be more tricky as different people can pronounce these sounds differently. E.g. the âerâ in the word âcrackerâ may be pronounced as an âuhâ or even an âaâ sound. Learners may need support with the red graphemes.
All images/words included in this resource have been chose because they can be sounded out - the âtickâ pictured on the coloured (pink/purple) triangle indicates that these words can be sounded out. These colour coded details are also included on the resource.
Words included are:
Phase 2 Words
elf
robin
Santa
Phase 3 Words
cracker
tree
nutcracker
snowman
pudding

What is a Function Machine?
This download includes a list of exactly what is needed to make a Function Machine as well as x5 portrait orientation pdf instruction sheets (with photos) explaining exactly what to do - step by step.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What is a Function Machine?
A âfunction machineâ is like a post box but when something is posted into the top slot it pops out of the lower slot reversed - to younger learners this can seem like âmagicâ ! A Function Machine can be made from a simple shoebox and is designed for double-sided cards (credit-card size is perfect) to be posted into it.
Whatâs it for?
Once made a Function Machine can be used in lots of ways as different sets of double-sided cards are built up to use with it. Examples include -
number bond facts
adding
doubles facts
times tables
practising phonics sounds (grapheme on one side, image with that initial sound on the reverse)
reading noun words (picture on reverse reveals answer)
The list of possible uses is endless and up to you which direction to take this inâŠ
This is a great resource to invest in making as itâs a little bit different and can be used to demonstrate learning in an interactive way and for those learners who like to âdoâ this can really engage and keep them interested - learning without realising - perfect!
The instructions include photos from different angles, showing details at the different stages to make exactly what to do as clear as possible. Itâs actually not that tricky once you grasp the aim but when itâs made (and it works!) itâs pretty cool - learners really enjoy it!

Whatâs included?
This download includes x7 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format.
Whatâs it for?
These Christmas alphabet matching cards have been designed to be printed onto card to practise identifying the x26 initial Christmas-themed alphabet sounds. Learners match the initial sound for each image with the correct grapheme. A fun way for learners to practise their sound knowledge at Christmas.
This activity has been designed to be a simple, interactive, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional support with learning.
How to use it?
An adult prints these cards onto A4 card and and pre-cuts them into x52 separate rectangle cards.
The set of cards is shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to sort and match. Learners could use this resource on their own or with adult support. Learners could also use this resource to order the cards alphabetically.
Learners look at each image and say this out loud. They then identify (verbally) the initial sound of the word e.g. for the first letter of the alphabet the learner would say âAdvent Calendarâ and then âaâ (for âAdventâ). Learners then look for the âaâ grapheme card to match the two cards together.
Resource DetailsâŠ
This recourse includes x26 pictures - one (initial sound) for each letter of the alphabet and x26 matching grapheme cards - all Christmas themed. An extra ânâ for ânutcrackerâ is also included (so x27 pictures and letter cards). This set also includes an âAnswer sheetâ.
The pictures included use words with clear initial sounds. Some images/words may be completely new to learners making these a talking point and opportunity to extend their âChristmas vocabularyâ. For clarity all images are labelled on the right side of every grapheme card, e.g. âquinceâ may easily be presumed to be a âpearâ.
Pictures included:
a Advent Calendar
b bauble
c cracker
d dove
e elf
f fire/fireplace
g gift/s
h holly
i invite/invitation
j jingle bells
k king (two versions of the âkâ grapheme are provided)
l lantern
m mistletoe
n nuts / n - nutcracker (two ânâ cards are included)
o orange
p pudding
q quince
r robin
s star
t tree
u under (the tree)
v Vixen (a reindeer!)
w wine
x Xmas
zest (of lemon/oranges, lemon pictured)
x2 versions of the grapheme âkâ card are included as some learners may be more familiar with one font style than another - two âkingâ cards are also included.
The answer sheet has been designed for learners to use and check answers independently, encouraging autonomy.

Whatâs included?
x6 sheets each with x5 picture/grapheme cards for all letters of the alphabet plus additional options for e/n - all Christmas themed. All sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format.
The alphabet cards are designed to be double-sided and used with a Function Machine. How to make a Function Machine is available as a resource to make yourself, following step-by-step instructions.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Whatâs it for?
These cards have been designed to be cut out and made into double-sided cards for learners to practise identifying the initial sounds for x26 Christmas-themed images. This is a fun opportunity for learners to practise their sound knowledge in the run up to Christmas. Without a Function Machine these cards could be used by learners to self check - turning over the card to see if they were correct.
How to use it?
An adult prints these card shapes onto card and follows the instructions which are included on every page of the resource. In total x28 picture/grapheme cards are included. The set of (double-sided) cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a âFunction Machineâ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially).
Learners look at each image and say this out loud. Learners then verbally identify the initial sound of the word. E.g. for the âaâ card the learner would say âAdvent Calendarâ and then âaâ (for âAdventâ). Learners then post the card (image side up) and when it pops out of the Function Machineâs lower slot (grapheme side up) they can see if they were correct.
As an additional activity learners could order the cards alphabetically.
Resource DetailsâŠ
The pictures included use words with clear initial sounds. Some images/words may be completely new to learners - an opportunity to expand their vocabulary. E.g. âquinceâ may easily be presumed to be a âpearâ. For clarity all images are labelled on the back of every card.
Pictures included:
a - Advent Calendar
b - bauble
c - cracker
d - dove
e - elf / elves
f - fire/fireplace
g - gift/s
h - holly
i - invite/invitation
j - jingle bells

Whatâs included?
This pdf download includes x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring every alphabet letter (uppercase) and clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters for (window) display.
Whatâs it for?
These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape âfallsâ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sunâs position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole alphabet together to encourage learners to recognise and name each letter (and sound) and practise the order of the alphabet. The letters can of course be repositioned to create words and labels as you choose. The lowercase version of this resource is also available.
This resource would support work on shadows, light/dark and better understanding the shape of uppercase letters to support greater recognition.
Whoâs it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out!
Resource Details
There are x5 pages. The first includes instructions and the remaining pages include all of the alphabet letters.
Suggestions
Printing and making these letters out of white card is recommended - paper is too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive online.
We also recommend also backing every letter in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however it is twice the work and time.

Whatâs included?
This download includes x10 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets a total of five word searches including Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Months of the year. Each word search is on page 1, the answers are on page 2, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference.
Whoâs it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 âSassoon Infant Stdâ font.
The words have been organised into four groups, displayed below each word search. Most nouns have been illustrated next the the word, supporting early readers and learners with EAL.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Arrows showing the direction for hidden words for each individual word search are displayed at the top of page 1.

Words to find are; bee, butterfly, daisy, rose, beach, bucket, paddle, sandcastle, spade, barbecue, hot, ice cream, picnic, solstice, camp, humid, sand, shell and towel.

Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a âhighlighterâ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified as some letters have been used more than once.

Whoâs it for?
These word searches have been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 âSassoon Infant Stdâ font. The November word search is x13 squares up/down x14 squares across and the âHarvest Festivalâ word search is x10 squares up/down and x12 squares across.
The hidden words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden question words below the word search. There are up to 22 words to find per worksheets. Words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) and vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards).
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a âhighlighterâ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead âcrossed outâ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.
