What’s included? This download includes two A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘ordering numbers to 10’. These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability (and usability!) How to use this resource One sheet features x11 ‘numbered eggs’. I have included an ‘egg holder’ (with grass pictured on each base) which are intended to ‘hold’ each numbered egg. This was designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this resource can be presented to learners as a crisp, fresh new activity to investigate and explore. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. This has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently. Resource Details Page 1 includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) with dotted lines around the outside of each to guide cutting. There are two boxes at the top which can both be cut out and displayed with the activity to guide learners and support adults with what the activity is for and question the learners to keep them on task. Page 2 includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ for learners (or adults) to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in (rather than having numbered eggs laid flat on the table top, using these holders enable the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of page 4.

What’s included? This download includes x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting objects and ordering numbers to 10’. This activity has been designed to use with miniature ‘Easter chicks’ as pictured in the photos. These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability (and usability!) How to use this resource This has been designed to be a ‘table top’ activity for learners to explore independently. There are two pages featuring green boxes with different amounts of eggs (between 0 and 10). Learners are to count out the corresponding number of Easter chicks onto each of these cards. There is a sheet featuring ‘numbered eggs’ these are intending to be cut out and used to ‘label’ the groups of chicks once they have been counted out. I have included an ‘egg holder’ (with grass pictured on each base) which are intended to ‘hold’ each numbered egg. This was designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this resource can be presented to learners as a crisp, fresh new activity to investigate and explore. Who’s it for?

There are two boxes at the top which can both be cut out and displayed with the activity to guide learners and support adults with what the activity is for and question the learners to keep them on task. Pages 2 and 3 includes x11 rectangular boxes (with green outlines), each displaying a different number of eggs between 0 and 10. The idea is that that are cut out and placed on a table top along with a shallow bowl of ‘Easter chicks’ for learners to use to count out the matching number of chicks onto each egg. Once all ‘egg cards’ have been completed learners can ‘label’ these groups with the numbered eggs’ (page 1) Page 4 includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ for learners (or adults) to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in (rather than having all items laid flat on the table top, using these holders would enable the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’.

What’s included? This download includes two resources split across three A4 pages (portrait orientation) pdf format. These resources have been designed to use together. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is a carrot themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Each carrot (resource 1) once assembled displays the correct number bond on the reverse encouraging learners to be autonomous while they work. Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record and check the number bond pairs. Resource details An adult will need to prepare resource 1 prior to use. This resource needs plain A4 white card to print on (two sheets - page 1 of resource two can be printed onto paper) scissors a glue stick paper scorer ruler Prior to folding the carrots it is advisable to use a round metal (ball-head) paper scorer and a ruler to draw a scored line (where indicated in the centre of each carrot-pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate. The large size 40 ‘Avenir’ font makes numbers easy to read. How to use it Print the carrot cards resource and page 2 of the ‘record sheet’ resource onto card (paper would be too flimsy for intended use) and follow the instructions included. Resource 1 - once carrots have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners match each number bond pair e.g. ‘10’ with ‘0’. If a learner is unsure which number e.g. ‘9’ should be matched with they can turn the carrot that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the carrot (e.g. revealing ‘1’) This encourages learners to be autonomous when working, enabling them to do this activity on their own. Resource 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 carrots into pairs they place these onto the carrot outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds on the horizontal line provided and for each carrot number written they colour/tick this number of tiny carrot outline shapes above for both carrots. This enables learners to check that each pair of carrots (together) makes 10. A ‘Number bonds to 10 checker’ is included at the base of the second sheet to support learners in checking each number bond pair together makes 10. A blank space is included in the centre of each carrot shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting.

What’s included? This download includes x26 simple, predictable alphabet rhymes for every letter of the alphabet - in colour AND black and white (so x52 sheets in total). Every rhyme has been set out landscape orientation. What’s it for? These rhymes have been designed for learners to practise reading simple words (images make it clear what the noun-words are!) and practise each phonic sound using a pointer (or pointy finger!) Some rhymes are more ‘silly’ than others(!) This is a unique, fun and engaging way to practise reading and phonics that all learners will enjoy. These rhymes also provide a great opportunity to practise using one to one correspondence - an important early reading skill. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The layout of every letter/sound rhyme is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 50, so a good, ‘easy to read’ size. Each rhyme follows this structure - Ants on apples a, a, a. Ants on apples a, a, a. Ants on apples a, a, a. Ants on apples! Letters a, b, c, d, e, f ,g h, i, j, l, m, n, p, s include the word ‘on’ within the rhyme. Letters k, o, q, r, t, v, w, x, y, z include the word ‘and’ within the rhyme. The letter ‘u’ is ‘upside-down umbrellas, u, u, u’. How to use this resource Learners might like to practise reading these on their own, in pairs or small groups or even as a class during a whole carpet session, reading/singing along together. Suggestions Recommend printing out the colour versions of these (the colours look so lovely!) and laminating each rhyme to help keep them in good condition. My classes of early years and year one children were really motivated to use these and very good at practising them quietly to themselves using ‘whispery voices’ (so cute!) I found that all learners really enjoyed using these with a ‘pointer’ which I had a pot of (pointers!) stored with the rhymes, ready to use. Pointers are available separately (left OR right handed) or together at /teaching-resource/resource-13180190 Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes three A4, portrait pdf sheets to label seven ‘2D shapes and their properties’ on the Robot’s control panel. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to recognise/read and match words/vocabulary to 2D shape images to reinforce/develop further understanding of 2D shapes and their properties. Resource Details The seven 2D shapes investigated in this activity are a semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Learners will need a pencil (to write their name on page 1), scissors and a glue stick to complete this activity. Page 1 features the Robot’s ‘control panel’ which has been enlarged from page 2 to provide a large size and clear space for learners to label the different properties of each shape. The dotted lines on page 1 indicate where learners should position the different labels. Learners do not cut out any part of page 1! Page 2 includes four sets of labels (there are exactly the correct amount of labels provided to complete each 2D shape featured. These labels are the names of the shapes, the number of sides each shape has, the number of vertices each shape has, whether the shapes have ‘curved’ sides (only two do - the circle and semi circle). The green ticks can be stuck next to these two shapes. All labels have dotted lines indicate where to cut. Page 3 includes the same 2D shapes on the robot’s control panel to cut out and hold (to investigate). It would be most helpful for learners to have access to a set of these while completing this activity especially for learners who do not know the information (to complete the labels). An adult could pre-cut the labels for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10. Black and white version. What’s it for? These number fans can be used in a variety of ways to practise and reinforce learners recognition of numbers to 10. The numbers on the fans can be used to label groups of objects, answer questions and play games, especially when made more accessible by being attached to an easy to open/close rainbow keyring - as pictured (and recommended!) Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. How to use this resource Number fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Number fans can be used as a personal reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Number fans can also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) could be ideal where you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers. Alternatively a short loop of wool/string could be tied/untied to achieve the same effect. A standard metal keyring works well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the ring. I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf. Important message… ANY issues with this number fan please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this number fan resource would be great - thank you!

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Various vehicles to count and numerals/word number names from 1 to 20 to match). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to practise counting up to 20 items (vehicles) and match the total number with the correct numeral/number name word label. How to use this resource This matching activity set has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each image card and count the number of vehicles before matching the picture to the numeral/number name card to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs learners can order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. Once complete the cards can be threaded back together using the hole (top left of each card). The squares are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (using sticky Velcro would assist with easy opening). Once attached the numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. The cards could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Games This ‘number match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the vehicle cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.

The numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. However these have been designed to be a counting activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! What’s it for? This resource has been designed to investigate collecting data in a step by step, meaningful way. There are three steps in this investigation, sorting and counting the data (Smarties), organising and recording the data (onto a bar chart) and the last step - answering questions about the data. Your learners should be data handling experts at the end of this and may be allowed to eat their Smarties as a reward (alternatively paper Smarties are provided!) Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes two resources split across three A4 pages (portrait orientation) pdf format. These resources have been designed to use together. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is a ‘ten green bottles’ themed ‘hands on’ way to explore and consolidate knowledge of number bonds to 10. Each green bottle (resource 1) once assembled displays the correct number bond on the reverse encouraging learners to be autonomous while they work. Resource 2 (split across two pages) provides a space to record and check the number bond pairs. Resource details An adult will need to prepare resource 1 prior to use. This resource needs plain A4 white card to print on (two sheets - page 1 of resource two can be printed onto paper) scissors a glue stick paper scorer ruler Prior to folding the bottles it is advisable to use a round metal (ball-head) paper scorer and a ruler to draw a scored line (where indicated in the centre of each bottle pair) to make folding quicker, easier and more accurate. The large size 40 ‘Avenir’ font makes numbers easy to read. How to use it Print the bottle cards resource and page 2 of the ‘record sheet’ resource onto card (paper would be too flimsy for intended use) and follow the instructions included. Resource 1 - once the green bottles have been cut out and assembled place on a table top and shuffle, ready for learners to match. Learners then match each number bond pair e.g. ‘10’ with ‘0’. If a learner is unsure which number e.g. ‘9’ should be matched with they can turn the bottle that they are holding over to look for the answer displayed on the back of the bottle (e.g. revealing ‘1’) Encouraging learners to be autonomous . Resource 2 - once learners have matched the number bonds to 10 bottle into pairs they place these onto the bottle outline shapes. Learners then write the number bonds on the horizontal line provided and for each bottle number written they colour/tick this number of tiny bottles outline shapes above for both bottles. This enables learners to check that each pair makes 10. A ‘Number bonds to 10 checker’ is included at the base of the second sheet to support learners in checking each number bond pair together makes 10. A blank space is included in the centre of each bottle shape for the numerals 1 - 10 to be written if helpful for learners though blank should be fine for the purpose of counting. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you.
