   Hi All I am just about to re-enter all our reception baseline data (Autumn One) and Autumn two data into target tracker. Won't go into the reasons but it all went wrong and now we need to redo it. The dilemma I have is, do I .... 1. Enter just the scale points achieved, even though we are not supposed to do this until the end of the year but many of us have to anyway. OR 2. Enter the development matters achieved (and any relevant scale points) Which will take much much longer but will tell me more when it comes to analysing data. And is more along the lines of what we are supposed to be doing anyway. Anyone shed any light on this dilemma?

   Hi all, I hope I have posted this is the right place - I'm new to the forum but think it's fab! Wondered if any of you lovely people had a really 'wow' idea for an observation. My topic is Dinosaurs, and my lesson is on addition. My group activity will be using the small world dinos and tray to do some practical addition, moving the dinos across the river one by one and having a go at doing the number sentences practically and then having go at writing them. In my other areas I have another focus activity with TA - making dino skeletons wth art straws (estimating length, vocab longer, shorter etc), outdoor I have the skittles and dominoes, and finding …

   Hello, This is my first post on here so hope I've managed to do it correctly! I'm currently teaching a FS, 1 and 2 class and hoping to do a topic on dinosaurs, the problem is I'm unsure how to link history in with KUW activities so I can try and meet the NC objectives. I've got all other areas sorted out but I'd be grateful for any ideas or plans so I could try and get my head around it all. Thank you

   Afl In Reception Class

   Hi I wonder if anyone is doing AFL (Shirley Clark methods) in their Reception class. I have a mixed reception/Year 1 class (only the 7 summer born Y1s) and my Head wants me to use the Shirley Clark AFL methods in my class. I can see how it works really well in the other classes and would be perfect for my Year 1s but I just can't see a way of talk partners/self assesssment etc working with reception. The only way I can see it working is to have more formal teaching and have the Year 1s helping the YRs with their learning which is not what EYFS requires! HELP! Thanks Julescc x
