Reports Question
by Guest Pebble123- 5 replies
- 777 views
Its the dreaded report writing time again, they take so long ! My question is do you think it is appropriate to put that a child is working at above, below or at the expected level for the 6 areas-a score of 6 being 'average' . This is what i have to do and I feel uneasy about it, the children are still so young and change so quickly and I feel we are labelling them. What do you think ?

Hi I am currently beginning to put packs together for my new intake to Reception. We have an open evening at the end of the month so trying to get it all done. We currently put a large picture of a smiley face in the pack to find out about children's likes and dislikes. Would like to do something a bit different this year and was thinking along the lines of: I am proud of my child because... My child is special because ... Am currently trying to think of ways it can be displayed on paper so it can be filled in by parents and children but my mind is blank. Please help! Emma

I am in the process of arranging to visit some of the nurseries and pre-schools I have children joining from in september. Most children are at our pre-school and we have lots of visits set up. But for the few other children I will be going to meet them at nursery. Last year I spent time looking through their learning journals and chatting to their key person but didn't do anything formal with this. Does anyone go through the development matters or anything to find out exactly where the children are? Just really want to develop my on entry assessments. Thanks! K x

Hi I had another consultation today with our EYFS consultant. She said that the environment in Reception had not progressed with the children and that our continuous provision. She said the sand and water did not contain enough science and maths. We have jugs, measuring, cylinders, sieves etc. All the usual. She says it needs to be more scientific like a lab and the reading corner more like a library. The deputy then said that I should have cards or labels out instructing children / challenging them (I thought this was enhanced provision) that we do do sometimes if it is appropriate. Everytime I meet with her I feel confused as I can't really see what she is sayi…

HI I hope someone can help and to check i am not going mad. I'm sure when i was reading on here the other day that during a discussion on reception intake etc there was a comment on admissions for September 2011 and that it was going to be arranged that all schools offered a September Full time start with parents opting for a part time entry if they wished. Am I going mad or did i read this somewhere would be great if someone could point me in the right direction i checked and looked through all the posts and searched the forum topics. I was just chatting to my head and it sort of came out and now i'm thinking did i make it up. Thank you

Well it is that time of year again when the joy of report writing takes place!! This year I have to make a statement as to whether the child is working towards, within or above age related expectations in each area of learning. I know not an easy task or what EYFS is all about! Anyway I have to assess this against the FSP scores and to be honest not really sure what to put!! I know that FSP score 6+ in each strand is what we're aiming for with a total of 78+. However not sure how to break up working towards, within and above! I have thought score of 1-3 is working towards age related as below ELGs and 4-8 as working within age related as ELGs and 9 working above …
