These desk mats are the perfect accessory for the start of the year. Simply edit the name and print. I cut them and made them double sided before laminating. They became invaluable at the start of the school year. Helpful hints for both Maths and English relevant to the current UK national curriculum. There is a few different versions of the resource to suit needs of a range of children. I used shiny laminate and children then used the resource as a wipeable tool.
The placemats include:

• editable name
• lowercase and uppercase alphabet on handwriting lines
• days of the week on handwriting lines
• conjunctions to help with spelling
• 100 square grid
• numberline to 20
• common words for the four opperations
• basic shapes
• picture slot to add a childs photo
• widgit symbols for helping if something is wrong
