Hi folks I am in nursery and about to deliver a presentation on stages of writing development to parents (in the morning). ALthough they have a handout with samples on I am just tinkering with the powerpoint and thought I could find some samples on the internet. However, I can't seem to locate any. I have the first 4 stages (1. random marks (scribble) 2. writing at speed across the page, 3. lines, squiggles and symbols 4. Beginning to write recognisable letters) but not for stage 5. Sound symbol correlation stage 6. Inventive spelling and finally stage 7. writing contains conventional spelling patterns. Does anyone have a children's work at home that they could scan…

Hi Can anyone please give me some advice! I am being critised by my Head because my Reception class reading results are the worst the school has ever had and I don't know how to improve them. This is my second year of teaching and I have taught the children exactly as I did last year - Jolly Phonics for the Autumn term and now moving on with Letters and sounds. We use the Oxford Reading Tree reading scheme which is really out dated and doesn't really relate to the phonics we are teaching the children. I have an added problem that I have the summer born year ones who have to follow the literacy framework so I have very little time to actually teach reading to the Recep…

Woke up to hear this conversation on radio 4 and I had read somewhere that the EYFS review was suggesting cuts in the 6 areas to PSE, CLL and PD. This report coming out now seems to defend this idea. I am sure we could all have told the government that the difference between the have's and the have nots has a detrimental effect on outcomes for them way into later life!!! It is an interesting article none the less http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12423543 Lorna

Hi I have been reading alot lately about deconstructed role play. I have always had my role play area so perfect with all the resources available for the children to use and all the labels printed and laminated from Sparklebox!!!!! I really like the idea of the deconstructed role play area and can see all the benefits for the children. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it out and how they found it - did the children respond well?? is it easy to manage?? etc Looking forward to reading all the responses

This is a long shot but you never know... I wondering to help reinforce my phonics that when i read a story at the end of the day i thought about linking it to whatever grapheme i had done that day in phonics or even using that story in phonics and play sound dectectives. Just trying to think of ways to make phonics less repeatative so was wondering if anyone knew or had a list of stories/ poems/ ryhmes that contain the sounds in phase 3 or anyone suggest a book so i can compile a list (ch, sh, ng, th, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er) so far have come up with some are very loose fitting!: cvc words: cat in the hat ng sing a song o…

Hi All, I have my final placement observation next week for my PGCE and need to do an interesting Chinese New Year activity with my reception class. I have free reign in any area of learning but have totally run out of original ideas and head is spinning. I am being observed for a 20 min lesson and although I know this is not the way it should be in Rec, I am in a placement so I have to play the game. Anyone have any ideas as feeling TOTALLY frazzled :-) Thanks xx
