One download for the whole week
Teachers who buy themed bundles on marketplaces get a fixed set of pages. A theme pack is made for your class: every page has a child’s name on it, the difficulty matches their year level, and you choose which activities go in.What each year level gets
- Preschool. Straight and zigzag lines, an easy maze, dots to 10, a 12 by 12 mystery picture, matching and colouring.
- Foundation. Waves and bumps, dots to 20, a 16 by 16 mystery picture and a picture word search.
- Year 1. Loops, a harder maze, counting by 2s, a mystery picture coded with sums and a picture crossword.
Every tool on its own
Each activity also has its own maker with more choices: name tracing, tracing lines, mazes, dot to dot, colour by number and picture puzzles.In Australian classrooms
- FoundationForming letters (AC9EFLY08) and naming numbers to at least 20 (AC9MFN01), practised by the name tracing and dot to dot pages.
- Year 1Skip counting (AC9M1N03) and adding within 20 (AC9M1N04), used in the Year 1 dot to dot and mystery picture.
Several themes follow the northern hemisphere calendar: fall and Thanksgiving have no match in Australian school terms, and Halloween falls in spring here. Animals, under the sea, space and back to school work at any time, and back to school suits the start of Term 1 in late January or early February.
Because every page already has a child’s name on it, a pack makes a ready plan for a relief teacher, or for the last busy week of a term.
