We are about to change the role play area outside. We will be asking the children for their ideas and what they would like but I just wanted to ask what is working well in other people's settings.

Myself and my reception team of 5 classes are currently brainstorming ideas of ways to enhance our provision to enable children to more readily demonstrate and practise calculating skills in a child-initiated way, in order to ensure the 20% / 80% balance for the profile. One of the key areas I often spot children using calculating skills incidentally and not as part of adult directed tasks is through systems, such as the snack bar, how many more children can fit there at the moment etc. - children discussing this amongst themselves. Playing schools is also another good one! I just wondered if you had any particular gems of resources you have continually available, any …

Im sure there is probably a topic already covering this, but cannot find it - sorry Just interested to find out what you do for chns own assessment of their learning? We usually do thumbs up etc at the end and try to do mini plenaries etc. But as I work with focus groups - one at a time - I kind of do my assessment on them as I go. But should I be doing more? We have just been told that everyone should be allowing self assessment constantly throughout the lessons.....................? Was wondering about having faces up and when they need more help, they can move their name onto orange/red etc - but we have so many already = traffic light systems (behaviour) and feeling…

Phoneme Blending Help
by Guest- 5 replies
- 873 views
Hi - I have a few chn who really struggled with learning initial phonemes, but with a little 1:1 and parental support they now recognize the initial 26 sounds and a few digraphs such as sh, ch, th, qu, but they still have real difficulty blending even simple CVC words such as cat, peg, dog. Any ideas how to help them. A few can identify initial sounds of words but the other 2 still struggle with that so will focus on that for the time being. But for the ones hearing initial sounds I feel I'm not targeting the underlying difficulty or them as the blending is becomming a stumbling block for them and I don't want them to lose confidence as they have done remarkably well …

Help! Rapunzel Ideas....
by Guest- 10 replies

Hi everyone We are currently trying to plan from the children's interest...the past few weeks a large number of children have been role playing 'Rapunzel' or should I say 'Tangled' - both boys and girls have been really involved! We decided to go with this - after the half term - and will probably go along the fairy / traditional tale route to begin and see where the children take us. Sat down to do my planning and I am having a brain freeze - has anybody got any great ideas relating to Rapunzel?? Thanks in advance!!!

Hi everyone. Really interested to hear your views on PE in Reception. Do you still have weekly whole class formal PE lessons, or provide for Physical development in planned and resourced CP areas, or a mixture of the two? Feel I need to overhaul my provision but not sure which route to take. Thanks. Annette
