Wordsearch - Easter, x24 words to find

(0)
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. Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you! New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!

Number bonds to 10 matching Green Bottles

(0)
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.

(0)
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 x4 A4, portrait pdf sheets in black and white and colour. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to introduce learners to tallying - how to record tally marks carefully and correctly as well as providing an opportunity to both read and write their own tallies (on page 4). This resource has been created as an introduction to ‘tallying’ prior to working on a data handling activity. Recording accurate tally marks is a key part of data handling and an essential skill to record data correctly. It is important that learners are given an opportunity to practise tallying, ready to use the skill in a real-life activity situation. 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 The first x3 pages introduce tallying in a step-by-step way, showing learners what a ‘tally’ is, what it is used for and how to write tally marks correctly to record an accurate amount/score. The last, page 4, provides an opportunity for learners to read five tallies and write the total (up to 23) as well as record the correct number of tallies for five numbers (up to 24). Pages 1 to 3 have been designed for an adult to go through with a learner/group of learners in a step-by-step way. Page 1 Learners are introduced to what ‘tallying’ and a ‘tally mark’ is and how tallies are written. Page one clearly shows how tallies one to four are written and how the fifth tally mark is written differently. Page 2 Learners are introduced to ‘tallies’ being written as groups of five and introduces learners to how to write tally marks up to 10, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10. Page 3 Learners are introduced to how to write tally marks up to 20, providing an opportunity for learners to write their own tally marks to 10 again - this time beginning at a ‘starting dot’ for each tally and tracing over the grey lines to write the tally marks correctly. Page 4 This has also been designed learners to practise reading and writing tally marks. Learners are to record the total number of tallies (writing the number) and record their own tally marks for each number provided.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x3 sets of blank subtraction sums, x1 black and white and x2 rainbow themed, x5 pages in total. All portrait orientation, in PDF format. What’s it for? These blank sums enable learners to practise simple subtraction sums with plenty of space to use practical resources (ideally matching their interests) to support them. Numbers can be written on the sheets ‘for’ learners or they could have access to a dice/number cards to write their own sums. Who’s it for? These (blank) subtraction sums have been designed for pupils in years one and two or older students needing additional support with their learning. Resource details There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers. Subtraction Sums (one sheet) Rainbow coloured (blank) This pdf includes x4 blank subtraction sums on one page, each a different colour making it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Subtraction Sums (two sheets) Rainbow coloured (blank) This page includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank subtraction sums, x8 sums in total. Two (numbered) sheets provide more sums and so more challenge for your learner/s. Each sum is a different colour making it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Subtraction Sums (two sheets) Black and white sums (blank) This pdf includes TWO pages both featuring x4 blank subtraction sums, x8 sums in total. Two (numbered) sheets provide more sums and so more challenge for your learner/s. Even though this resource is black and white each sum is a different shade of grey/black which alternates to help make it clear to learners which sum they are working on. Recommendations Small objects can be placed in each box as long as these are not deemed a choking hazard for your little learner/s). Suggestions of small objects to count include: small coloured matchsticks buttons pom poms coloured dot/spot stickers small ‘themed’ stickers especially if matched to your learner’s interests Learners could have access to number cards and/or roll dice to make their own subtraction sums - encouraging autonomy. Learners could then draw the number of spots or use ‘dot stickers’ to record the numbers chosen (on a card) or rolled (using dice) in the boxes. Top tip When working on subtraction sums especially if learners are making their own sums - always encourage them to put the larger of the two numbers first to then ‘take away’ the ‘smaller’ amount from this to find the total. Learners will need to move the total amount (of objects) counted into the first box (on the left) to the box in the centre to then ‘subtract’ the amount from there. Learners can draw the total number of objects left in the last box (on the right). There is a line underneath each box on which to write the numbers.

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 Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

Christmas Countdown - Advent Calendar Candle

(0)
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 x1 portrait orientation pdf to make an ‘Christmas Countdown - Advent Calendar Candle’ to count down the December days from the 1st to the 24th. What’s it for? This countdown has been designed to be used for by an individual/group or class to countdown the days to Christmas. Behind each numbered flap is a Christmas image and a few related words to read. This resource has been designed to be made by or with an adult - an adult leading the way with the steps to follow and a learner reading and helping as they are able. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students with additional learning needs. An older, more able, pupil may be able to make this ‘with’ or ‘for’ a younger learner in a paired activity, working together. Resource Details Everything needed for the finished Advent Candle Countdown Calendar is included on the pdf. There are six main instructions and additional, detailed, information positioned next to the relevant parts to make what to do clearer. The overall task is to cut along the red dotted lines to cut out the main candle shape and separate the ‘flaps’ which will fold over the image (for each day) to hide it. Numbers are provided to stick onto these flaps in order - from the base of the candle up to the top. Alternatively these numbers can be written by hand instead - whatever is preferred/easiest. To make one advent calendar learners will need: a pencil (to write their name) a pair of scissors a glue stick a small ball of Blue Tac (the size of a small marble) The piece of Blue Tac will then be made into x24 teeny tiny balls which are used to secure the flaps closed until it is the date to be opened. Suggestions This pdf will need to be printed onto white card or it won’t be strong enough to stand up by itself. Double sided sticky tape might be a better alternative to secure the candle shape together instead of using a glue stick. Glue/double-sided sticky tape is to be applied to the single purple strip, positioned vertically on the right hand side of the pdf. Read the six steps carefully before starting to help make the process as easy as possible. Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

Recommendations Small objects can be placed in each box as long as these are not deemed a choking hazard for your learner/s. Suggestions of small objects to count include: small coloured matchsticks buttons pom poms coloured dot/spot stickers small ‘themed’ stickers especially if matched to your learner’s interests Learners could have access to number cards and/or roll dice to make their own addition sums - encouraging autonomy. Learners could then draw the number of spots or use ‘dot stickers’ to record the numbers chosen (on a card) or rolled (using dice) in the boxes, writing the total number of spots underneath each box. Top tip When working on addition sums especially if learners are making their own sums - always encourage them to put the larger of the two numbers first to count on from to find the total.
