This pdf download includes x4 landscape orientation sheets featuring every letter (and full word labels) to make the two words ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome’ with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters/words for (window) display. 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. These letters/words are ideal for displaying on a glass panel on a classroom door, offering a different and interesting ‘welcome’ to visitors to your classroom/learning space and obviously encourage learners to recognise and read these words. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two though would suit any window where those who see the letters/words would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out! Resource Details There are x4 pages. The first page includes clear step-by-step instructions and the remaining pages includes the separate letters to make the words ‘Welcome’ and ‘Hello’ (with exclamation marks!) The last page (4) includes the two words as one-word labels. 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.

What is it? This download includes x6 sheets (portrait orientation) featuring x27 left-hand/finger ‘pointers’ and x27 right-hand/finger ‘pointers’ in rainbow/skin tone colours both as solid colours and outline only. x54 pointers included in total. What’s it for? These are for learners to hold and use to ‘point’ to their learning. These pointers were designed to help develop one-to-one correspondence when reading but could be just as helpful for a variety of activities, such as ordering the alphabet, counting objects etc. These resources are ideal to use alongside our ‘ants on apples’ set of rhymes - also available. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. If you use a ‘pointer’ you can guarantee they would like to use one too! How to make it? Print onto white card, follow dotted lines to cut out each hand/pointer shape, attach a wooden lolly stick to the back with sticky tape and they’re ready to use! We recommend keeping a (rainbow coloured!) set in a little pot in the reading area for learners to help themselves to. Colour choice can be very important and it can be especially motivating to be able to choose/use your favourite colour. You may wish for learners to have their own pointer, maybe matching their skin tone or in their favourite colour. Learners could write their name on the back of their own pointers for safekeeping.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? One A4 pdf in landscape orientation What’s it for? To practise counting in 5’s from 0 to 100. 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 The resource explores counting in 5’s from 5 to 100 using star fish (which have x5 points) as a clear visual guide. Learners who are ‘new’ to counting in fives can count the ‘points’ of the stars each time which should help support them, making a great introduction to counting in 5’s.

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, landscape pdf sheets, one with ‘circular’ shaped (paper/card) beads, the other with ‘square’ shaped (paper/card) beads. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘ordering the alphabet’ as well as matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters together. Whilst working on this activity learners will develop their fine motor control as well as improve their familiarity of these letters. Learners will need to decide between upper and lowercase letters as they select letters to thread as well as consider which letter/s come next. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads each with an upper and lowercase letter. Beads are arranged in rainbow order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next number (and colour) in the pattern. Dotted guide line showing where to cut and punch a hole are included. The hole to punch is 5mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used (to increase the fine motor skills challenge!) Two versions of the letter ‘k’ are included as some learners may be more used to the look of one ‘font style’ than the other. Learners will need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Suggestions We recommend that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability whilst learners are busy sorting through the different letter beads and threading them. We feel that although the circular beads look equally lovely, the square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them. Learners who might find ordering the letters of the alphabet challenging may benefit from having a upper and/or lowercase alphabet in front of them to use as a reference and support them.

This download includes x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘counting in 5’s’ from 0 to 100 (and back) using ‘rainbow’ and ‘two-coloured’ circle/square shaped ‘beads’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 5’s to 100’ (and back!) while developing fine motor control. Whilst working on this activity learners will improve their number recognition and ability to order numbers, following the counting in 5’s pattern. Learners will compare numbers and consider which numbers come before/next in the pattern. This activity is ideal to consolidate knowledge of counting in 5’s, while keeping learners busy and independent. 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. Differentiation For learners who are less familiar with counting in 5’s the rainbow colour versions of this resource offers ‘more’ support. This is due to the limited amount of numbers in each colour and the rainbow colour pattern - learners can rely more on the pattern of the colours to guide them. The ‘two colour’ versions (orange and purple) provide more challenge. This is due to there being lots of numbers in both orange and purple, meaning learners need to work harder - focusing more on the numbers than the colours to identify ‘which’ number comes next in the number pattern while the two colours (orange and purple) provide ‘some’ support. Resource Details The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular/square shaped beads numbered from 0 - 100. Beads are arranged in ‘rainbow’/‘two-colour’ order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next number (and colour) in the pattern. Dotted lines guide where to cut and where to punch holes is clearly indicated. The hole to punch is 5mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used which would increase the fine motor skills challenge! Learners will each need a piece of string/ribbon/pipecleaner to thread their paper/card beads onto. Square beads or round beads? The square beads are much easier and quicker to prepare, requiring only straight cuts to separate them, saving time. Suggestions We recommend that these beads are printed onto card to improve their durability. Learners who might find ordering these numbers challenging may benefit from having a ‘counting in 5’s’ number line reference.

This resource has been designed to practise ‘counting in 2’s to 50’ (and back!) while developing fine motor control. Whilst working on this activity learners will improve their number recognition and ability to order numbers, following the counting in 2’s pattern. Learners will compare numbers and consider which numbers come before/next in the pattern. This activity is ideal to consolidate knowledge of counting in 2’s while keeping learners busy and independent. 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. Differentiation For learners who are less familiar with counting in 2’s the rainbow colour versions of this resource offers more support. This is due to the limited amount of numbers in each colour and the rainbow colour pattern - learners can rely more on the pattern of the colours to guide them.

This resource has been designed for early years and Year 1 pupils as well as older students needing additional support with learning. Resource Details This resource has been designed to be a ‘quick match’ activity - drawing a simple line to connect the pairs of numbers which (together) make 10. Page 1 In the upper section there is a row of ten tower blocks, each with a (numbered) main door. The number on the main door matches the number of storeys in each tower block that are lit up. In the middle and lower section are two rows of five postal vans, each with letters (to post). The number on each post van is the same as the number of letters. Learners are to match the number on each postal van with the number of a tower block by drawing a line to connect each pair of numbers which make 10. Learners are supported by the visual supports provided - the lit up number of storeys of each tower block (labelled by the numbered main door of each building) and the number of letters to post, labelled with the number displayed on each postal van.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 lowercase letters of the alphabet. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’. How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by cutting out one letter at a time. Learners can either use a safety mirror and/or fold these squares to investigate where the lines of symmetry are. It is best if learners only ‘cut’ once they are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry - a (safety!) mirror would definitely be helpful as a back up to check especially if letters have already been cut up! Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ lowercase letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Along the length of base of the sheet is a set of smaller lowercase letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger lowercase letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller lowercase letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. If learners are unsure there is a space on the left for this also - they can stick letters there and come back to these later, perhaps with support/a mirror to check. Page 3 Clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 Also clearly shows which lowercase letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

This download includes x2 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise ‘ordering numbers to 10’. What’s it for? This resource has been designed for learners to practise ordering numbers to 10. Learners either order the numbered eggs from 0 - 10 (and back!) ‘flat’ on a table top/carpet, or using the ‘grass holders’ learners can position the eggs to ‘stand up’, perhaps once they have completed the activity and ordered the numbers. This activity has been designed for learners to explore independently, to explore and reinforce both recognising numerals to 10 and ordering numbers to 10 (and back!) 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 These sheets are intended to be printed onto card to improve durability, instructions are included on each resource. This was designed for an adult to pre-cut all items so that this resource can be presented to learners as an activity to investigate and explore. An adult cuts along dotted lines following these instructions to provide learners with x11 ‘numbered eggs’ (page 1) and x10 ‘grass egg holders’ (page 2) Resource Details Page 1 includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10) dotted lines, guide where to cut. 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’, helping the resource to catch your learners interest and engage them. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of page 2. Important message… Any issues please don’t hesitate to let us know - we are happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes x3 resources (to be used together) as x4 A4, landscape pdf sheets to practise counting objects to 10 and labelling each group with the correct numeral. This activity set has been designed to use with miniature ‘Easter chicks’ as pictured on the cover image. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to make good use of those lovely little chicks that are generally everywhere at Easter time! This activity set encourages learners to count up to 10 objects (chicks!) and label each group (brood!) with the correct numeral (from 1 - 10). Grass ‘egg holders’ are included to display the egg number labels once learners have sorted and counted each group of chicks (from 1 to 10). 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 This has been designed for an adult to pre-cut items so that this activity set can be presented to learners to investigate and explore independently as a ‘table top’ activity. There is a sheet featuring ‘numbered eggs’ to be cut out and used to ‘label’ the groups of chicks once they have been counted out. Grass ‘egg holders’ to ‘hold’ each numbered egg are also included. There are two pages featuring groups containing different amounts of eggs (between 0 and 10). Learners are to count out the corresponding number of Easter chicks onto each of these cards - placing one chick on one egg, practising using 1:1 correspondence. Resource Details These sheets are all intended to be printed onto card to improve durability. Resource 1 (x1 page) Includes x11 numbered eggs (0-10), dotted lines guide where to cut. Resource 2 (across x2 pages) Includes x11 rectangular boxes (with green outlines), each displaying groups of different numbers of eggs (between 0 and 10). Learners count out the correct number of chicks, placing one chick on each egg. Once all ‘egg cards’ have been completed learners can ‘label’ these groups with the numbered eggs’ (page 1) Resource 3 (x1 page) Includes x10 ‘grass numbered egg holders’ to display the ‘numbered eggs’ in - rather than having all items laid flat on the table top, using these holders enables the numbered eggs to ‘stand up’. Simple instructions for how to assemble these holders are included at the top of this sheet. Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.
