We'd love to know what you think of what you download, so please don't hesitate to get in touch...
What’s included?
This download includes three pdf sheets, portrait, in colour/B&W featuring ten images that all begin with the ‘a’ sound. The images can be matched to reinforce knowledge of the ‘a’ sound as well as ordering the images to make a miniature ‘Aa’ book (included).
Who’s 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’s it for?
This resource is to reinforce learners knowledge of the ‘a’ sound, to practise matching two items with the same sound and to use their knowledge of the alphabet to make a a miniature ‘Aa’ book.
This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising the letter a, reinforcing learners knowledge of the initial ‘a’ sound and developing the skill of ordering items alphabetically.
This resource is designed to be used by itself, however as other sets are available different sounds could be combined and presented to learners for them to sort according to which initial sound the different (mixed) images have.
How to use it?
All sheets can be printed onto paper. Page 3 can be made into a miniature book (simple instructions included). To make a book scissors and a glue stick are all that is needed. Once the book is made either the colour set of words/images (page 1) OR the black and white set of words/images (page 2) can be cut and ordered alphabetically and then stuck into the miniature book (one word/image per page).
Page 1 is the colour version of words/images which all begin with ‘a’. These can be cut up (using the dotted lines as a guide for where to cut). Page 2 is the black and white version of page 1 but in addition includes the outline of each word with a starting dot for each letter - encouraging learners to write the word for each image themselves. Learners can also colour these images.
Pages 1 and 2 could be used together as two sets of cards to play a pairs/matching game, for this these pages would be better printed onto card (so that the images cannot be seen through the back as would be the case if using paper).
Resource details
The images included for a are:
add, ambulance, anchor, ant, anteater, antelope, apple, arrow, avocado and axe.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘Easter’ 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.
Who’s 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. Nouns are illustrated to make the meaning of these words clear to learners - this would also benefit pupils with EAL.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x12 by x12 square grid and featuring easy to read ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The Easter words have been organised into four groups, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x24 words to find in total.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (backwards-down and backwards-up). Words to find are; church, easter, cross, hot cross buns, lent, bunny, chick, lamb, new life, rabbit, spring, basket, bonnet, collect, find, hide, hunt, seek, chocolate, decorate, eggs, patterns, daffodils, and tulips.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ 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. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

What’s 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.
What’s 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 ‘word cards’ and match these words with the corresponding ‘stand up character/picture cards’. There are x8 words and x8 images to read and match.
Who’s 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 Details…
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 ‘er’ in the word ‘cracker’ may be pronounced as an ‘uh’ or even an ‘a’ 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 ‘tick’ 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’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheets.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed for learners to make their own (non fiction) ‘mini book’ to share in writing and drawing some simple information that is ‘all about me’ to help learners and new teachers to get to know each other at the start of a new school year.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
Page 1
This page has been designed to be the ‘book’ itself. The top section is the front and back cover, the middle and lower section have been designed as the pages to go inside the book. Learners are to cut along ‘dotted’ lines on page 1 to create three separate strips - these are the ‘pages’ of the book. Learners then stack these three pages together - with the ‘All about me!’ cover positioned at the front and fold along the ‘dashed’ lines. Learners can write their name on the line provided on the front cover before continuing with making their mini-book.
Next step - learners stick information (see pages 2 and 3) on front AND back of these pages to add more information to their ‘all about me’ mini-book.
Learners will each need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick. Adults may wish to ‘staple’ the spine of these mini-books together (along the ‘dashed lines’) once complete.
Pages 2 and 3.
These pages have been designed to be cut out as individual squares and completed by learners before being stuck into the prepared mini-book. Learners can choose which ‘squares/pages’ to include in their mini book - there are several to choose from…
Information for learners to complete includes…
drawing a picture of themselves
writing the number for how old they are, drawing the correct number of candles onto a birthday cake to show this and recording in writing when their birthday is
writing or drawing and labelling something that they did during the summer holidays
colouring and writing the name of their favourite colour
drawing and labelling their favourite food (on a plate)
writing or drawing and labelling their favourite ‘thing to do’
circling a sentence to indicate whether they have a pet/s (or not)
writing the type of creature their pet is/pets are and their pets name/s
circling a sentence to indicate whether they like school (or not)
writing or drawing and labelling something they like about/to do at school
writing or drawing and labelling something they do not like about/to do at school

What’s included?
This download includes x2 A4, portrait pdf sheets.
What’s it for?
These resources have been designed either for the start of a new term when new pupils are joining a brand new year group together or for individual pupils who are joining a class mid-term. There are two versions included - a more/less challenging sheet. Learners share in writing some simple information that is ‘all about me’ to help new teachers to get to know them on a more individual level.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
Resource Details
Both sheets are in the same layout, however one is less challenging than the other.
Less Challenging Version
Learners complete the sentences by writing their own information on the lines provided. There is a space on the right for learners to complete a simple ‘self portrait’ - adding their eye colour, eyebrows, nose, mouth and hair. The written information on the right of this links to the portrait when completed. Under the portrait learners complete their birthday, favourite colour, favourite thing to do and favourite food - all in pictures and writing.
More Challenging Version
Learners complete the sentences by writing their own information on the lines provided. There is a space on the right for learners to complete a simple ‘self portrait’ - adding their eye colour, eyebrows, nose, mouth and hair. The written information on the right of this links to the portrait when completed. Under the portrait learners complete their birthday, favourite colour, favourite thing to do and favourite food, in writing. In addition learners circle a tick or cross for whether they like school (or not) and can complete sentences recording one thing they do and don’t like at school - helping their new teacher get to know and understand them better.

What’s included?
This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one ‘household words’ (nouns) wordsearch (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference.
Who’s it for?
This wordsearch has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to encourage and support young learners with reading ‘high frequency’ key words.
There are x24 words to find - a lot !
Resource layout
The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The household words have been organised into four groups of six, clearly showing all hidden words below the wordsearch.
There are x24 words to find in total, all words are illustrated making this resource even clearer to young learners and children with EAL.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Words to find are; ball, bath, clothes, boat, river, water, car, chair, table, grass, plant, tree, box, hat, home, key, money, bed, book, door, school, shoes and window.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ 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 ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This wordsearch may be printed and laminated to be reused.

What’s included?
This Opposites ‘Spot the difference’ activity includes x2 landscape, pdf sheets - the activity (page 1) and answers (page 2).
What’s it for?
This activity has been designed to encouraged learners to think more about opposites, what these mean and identify where they are shown in the images. Learners also identify the word labels for these and match them with a simple line - using a short ruler may help with accuracy.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students needing additional support with learning.
Resource Details
Page 1 This resource explores the concept of ‘opposites’ through two pictures showing the same scene with x9 differences (between the pictures) to identify. These differences are all ‘opposites’. Learners draw a circle around the part of the scene where they identify an opposite, they could used a different colour for each pair of opposites.
Once learners identify a difference between the picture scenes they find the matching labels below. Learners link the two opposite (word) labels using a straight line connecting these words.
Page 2
The layout of this page is exactly the same layout at page 1 with the opposite differences identified in both picture scenes with a circle around the image and lines connecting the word label to make these clear.
The opposites included are - on/off, up/down, sit/stand, sunny/rainy, shut/open, dry/wet, above/below, alive/not alive and in front/behind.

What’s it for?
These letters have been designed to evoke a sense of awe and wonder - the letters look lovely when the sun shines through them and where the colours for each word ‘falls’ depends on the position of the colours in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes.

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 pretty inexpensive online.
We also recommend also backing every letter/each word in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much sharper on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time.
