EYFS Recap, Create & Play

This jam-packed resource for Early Years begins with discussion questions about the story, its social and emotional themes, and visual observation of images. Creative art and design ideas are followed by drama and role-play activities, enabling teachers to extend the imaginative world of the Experience into their classroom.

KS1 Resources for EYFS Experiences

KS1 teachers have told us that they’re using many Experiences designed for EYFS, such as our Traditional Tales. We’ve responded by giving all of these Experiences the relevant KS1 Follow-On Resources, including Writing Opportunities and our SATs-style Reading Comprehension. This means KS1 teachers now have double the number of Experiences to use!

EYFS We Are All Different

Learn about the differences between people, as well as the similarities between all of us as you plan a surprise party for your friend, Chan. Explore the wide range of cultures, abilities, care-givers, homes and foods as well as the importance of working together to help others.

 

KS1 Oceans & Seas

Discover the different oceans and seas in the world and the environmental threats whilst you try to help Vylka the polar bear return to her home in the Arctic.

KS1 Healthy Relationships

Understand the importance of kindness and empathy. Learn how to be independent as well as be able to ask others for help as you look for your little sister, Grace, at the funfair.

KS2 Healthy Relationships

Explore the concept of healthy and unhealthy relationships as you find yourself at the centre of a tricky friendship triangle. You’ll also learn about power and control within relationships and the emotions involved.

KS2 Story Starters

This brand new product inspires children to produce quality writing using immersive audio. After listening to a short story which ends on a cliffhanger, the class puts pen to paper to finish it off. Or if you prefer, there’s a more focused piece of descriptive writing. Teachers will be provided with a lesson structure, including vocabulary and ideas to stimulate the children’s work. Pick from six different titles!
