Rainbow Days of the Week Draw Labels (8 tiers) (PDF). I was going for a 70’s vibe for my labels this year to inject some needed colour into my classroom. Includes labels for: Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Mark Copy File

Cursive Visual Timetable on dyslexia friendly pale green background. Imaginative illustrations made into PNG transparent. Perfect for laminating and backing with velcro.

This bundle contains 29 different emotion cards, which can be made into hand-sized resources for descriptive writing. I pin my to my English working wall, as a resource for pupils to use if needed, but they would work on table tops too! Each card has eight sentences, which show an emotion rather than telling how a character feels. So rather than pupils writing: Emmy feels sad… They could utilise the resource to write: Emmy hung her head low. She took a deep, heavy breath out of her trembling lips…

A personal take on the Twinkl classic. I’ve updated the petal clock design, using cursive writing, cute retro prints, the twenty-four hour digits and also the written minutes.

This pack includes 5 space-themed table names for your classroom. Each table name has a brief description of the celestial body. I use these within my first term alongside my Science Space topic. They allow for great sharing opportunities between tables, as well as acting as a great behaviour and classroom management tool for group praise and positive reinforcement. The names include: Nebulae Aurorae Comets Meteors Asteroids

This is a super cute display for 99 Club. I went for a space invaders theme because I wanted it to go for retro gaming vibes. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 20 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most times table tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards! Enjoy!

This is a super cute display for TT Rockstars. I went for a space invaders theme because I wanted it to go for retro gaming vibes. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 20 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most times table tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards (Note: the display plan is for my 99 Club version, however the idea is the same, as my school switched Multiplication schemes after I’d already started to create my resource!) Enjoy!

This will be my new template for introduction slides this year. I’ve gone for a retro 90s vibe with swirls, checkerboard and disco balls! I hope you love as much as I do. You can screenshot the slides and use as the background for your own powerpoints or even just write straight over the top using your interactive whiteboard pen! Use as many or as little slides as you wish!

I used and created this resource as a transition activity for my pupils to identify what aspects makes their ideal learning environment. I prompted their responses: Do you like a tidy workspace? Do you like to work in silence or have quiet music? Do you like to have team or partner talk? **I also used a flower smiley and a rubik’s cube template - initially the rubik’s was aimed more for the boys, although it proved fan favourite. Not a surprise, as my current class are obsessed with rubik’s cubes - niche right? ** You might also get pupils to cut these out, as a motor skills activity. Anyway, I you like them as much as my Year 5’s did!
