Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Summer Term Set 5

Year 1 Morning Starter Mats: Summer Term Set 5 includes five write-on morning mats designed to help pupils settle quickly and begin the day with purposeful, structured activities. Each mat follows a consistent format with four short tasks covering maths, spelling, phonics and writing, helping pupils build confidence and independence while revising key Year 1 skills.
In this Summer Term set, activities include:

  • Maths tasks – describing position and direction, exploring turns and movement, following routes, using positional language such as left, right and between, and solving simple spatial reasoning problems
  • Spelling and phonics practice – identifying real and nonsense words, completing words with missing letters, practising ‘nt’ and ‘ew’ words and adding the prefix ‘un-’ to change meaning
  • Grammar and writing skills – correcting capital letters and punctuation, ordering sentences to form a story, writing questions and applying capital letters to proper nouns and place names
  • Consistent layout – familiar structure that supports independent learning and helps pupils complete activities confidently

These Year 1 morning starter mats are ideal for daily warm-ups, early finishers or transition tasks, helping pupils practise key maths and English skills in short, manageable activities. Explore more sets in our full collection of Year 1 Morning Starter Mats.
