Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Spring Term Set 5

Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Spring Term Set 5 includes five write-on morning mats that help pupils get started quickly with a calm, focused routine. Each mat follows the same four-part format (maths challenge, maths workout, spelling and a writing activity), so pupils can work independently while revisiting key Year 1 skills.
In this Spring Term set, activities include:

  • Maths tasks – counting on with a number line, solving addition calculations within 20, finding missing numbers, completing number bonds to 10 and 20, and using doubles and near doubles to work out answers
  • Spelling and phonics practice – completing and writing words with split digraphs (a-e, o-e, i-e and e-e), spelling short common words, and filling in missing letters for days of the week
  • Writing skills – choosing the correct end punctuation (full stops and question marks), writing simple sentences to match pictures using finger spaces, putting sentences in order to build a short story, extending sentences with an appropriate ending, and writing questions about an image
  • Consistent layout – a familiar structure across all five mats to help pupils settle straight away and work with increasing independence

These Year 1 morning starter mats are useful for morning work, quick warm-ups, early finishers, or short transitions, supporting progress in maths and English while strengthening independence. Browse the full collection of Year 1 Morning Starter Mats for more sets.
