These Letter Formation Sheets were designed to support phonics lesson I am teaching next week. They can be used as printed on card, colored paper and laminated for continuous provision or as part of a main lesson in EYFS or even as an early intervention in Year 1. They can be independent work, group work or completed with adult support.
There is a sheet for each letter and each one has six different ways for children to form the letter
Trace it
Make it
Scribble it
Draw it
Colour it
Dot it
and focuses on getting children comfortable and familiar with the shapes of each letter.
In my classroom, I plan to have a learning focus wall with key vocabulary, exemplar work and… the national curriculum objective. I feel it’s important know that we’re sitting for 20 minutes a day practicing how to join the letters ay because we have to. With the curriculum objective on the wall for them to see, the children know what we’re working towards and are able to assess their progress.
These curriculum objectives are:
split into the different ‘topics’ stated in the national curriculum and colour coded
rewritten in kid speak where needed but otherwise use the wording from the curriculum
Landscape A4 to allow you to easily display them on your wall.
This download includes the English, Maths and Science Curriculum Aims for Year 1 in a PDF and just need printing and laminating ready to display! Please note, I am working on a low colour and black and white version as well as editable versions to change the wording to suit you.
Debit Cards to use with Class Dojo
Encourage responsibility by encouraging your class to keep track of their dojo points. Fab to use if you use dojo points as currency and your class can use them to buy rewards and prizes.
Two versions - rounded rectangle and rectangle to save your wrists when cutting! I recommend printing on card and laminating for long term use each year!

This is a phonics review game, that can be used to practice the phonetic sounds or even just for students to practice in a fun way.
This resources has 42 circular tiles with a letter or CVC word on them as well as 6 KABOOM tiles. There are also blank tiles for you to create your own tiles depending on which stage you’re working on.
The Sassoon font is embedded into the PowerPoint for you to use to create your tiles with a font that is key to letter recognition and formation .
Here are some game I made for a whole class phonics session. Since the children were all at different levels, we looked at the sound we all know in different ways such as alien words or speed reading
No laminating needed!
Either print one per group or pair or display on the board and let the children play with the interactive board pen :)
A freebie for everyone! A lovely poster for you to decorate your classroom.
It’s editable for you to change the colour of the children to match your schools uniform and personalise it a little. The fonts are embedded but are NOT editable.
For use in both EYFS and Key Stages 1 and 2, here’s my lesson planning template shown on my Instagram.
This lesson plan template is what I used when planning my interview lessons or one off activities. The lesson planning templates is ideal for writing in detail about lessons where you are not familiar with the class allowing you to keep a detail record of the resources you will need.
The template has the following sections:
Lesson Information
Resources
Starter
Main Input
Main Activity (Continuous Provision for EYFS)
Plenary
TA Support Notes
This download includes both a PDF version for writing on directly or an editable version for typing onto. Please note the fonts are embedded but titles are not yet editable.

I did this interview with Y2 children and we managed to get to the activity portion with no problems!
There’s a lot of debate around using PowerPoint in lessons, it’s a bit like marmite but for me, having slide provide a sense of routine and structure both for me and the children. I find that having the same thing on the board helps to set the day and start transition between lessons.
Here are the Daily Slide I use every single day with my class!
This PPT Set include:
Morning Work Slides
Morning Meeting Slides
Break Time Slides
Lunch Time Slides
Hometime Slides
Blank Slide for editing!
The fonts used in these slide are KG Blank Space (available free on 1001Fonts) and LetterJoin (KG First time in Forever is a free alternative with a similar look)
When I received my timetable for the year, I was baffled! Between the colours, highlighting and confusing abbreviations, I couldn’t work out what I was teaching let alone when!
Here is a MUCH simpler template that I used to rewrite my timetable in a way I could actually understand! The download includes 2 completely editable templates , 1 horizontal and 1 vertical to suit your needs as well as a how to guide to help you make it your own!
In this download is a file containing 37 slides that can be duplicated and rearranged to create a teaching presentation! I often (I mean, ALWAYS) use these to keep myself organised and on track during the day.
The slides include:
• 2 slides containing video timers and icons to use in the Powerpoint.
• A selection of 8 morning slides
• A selection of 5 lesson slides (in blue, green and purple)
• 7 content slide to add videos, text or images for whole class teaching
