Frequently asked questions
Yes, of course! Maybe you have the time and enjoy creating things, but it has to be said that being a young learner teacher can involve a HUGE amount of extra work making materials. Give yourself a break!
All my materials have been tried and tested in the classroom. As well as having almost 20 years of teaching experience, I am also a qualified trainer for the Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate), so you can rely on the quality.
Yes! There are a range of templates to choose from within each resource so it’s super-easy to differentiate. The included Activity Suggestions will also give you ideas about how you can conduct the activity so each child can work (play!) to their full potential.
Definitely! (You knew I would say that!) No, but seriously speaking, I started making these resources for just one class but I’ve now used them several times over. I’ve even used them with the same groups in subsequent years, because the different templates allow me to vary the activity and language focus.
It’s also easily possible to use many of the resources for other topics throughout the year, e.g., house and home, family, position and place etc.

Reviews
A real time-saver
Since I’ve bought the Peace At Last bundle, I don’t have to stress about what to do with my year 1 class. We’ve started making the Home vocab booklets today. The kids really enjoy the varied activities. They especially like miming the sounds the animals and objects make. Those were the easiest for them to pick up. I hope they’ll also remember the words, but it takes lots of revision and practice. Just what the bundle offers. Great value for the price.
