Hello everybody, I am teaching a Reception Class at the moment, which I have been teaching in a play based approach. As I am going to take them up to Year 1 next year, I would like to continue teaching them in the same way. I am therefore looking for great ideas and would appreciate, if you could give me some guidance on how you structure your school day in Year 1 and how you teach the different subjects in particular Literacy and Numeracy. I am also interested in how you have made the transition between Foundation Stage and Year 2 and the use of adults in your classroom setting. At the moment in Reception we teach two adult directed tasks and have two adult facilita…

Hi all. It's great to get to the end of another year and reflect on all the good we have done. Still, looking ahead to next year i am considering changing the way i plan for my reception class. At present i still use a topic as the basis of my MTP. During the half term i try to keep my class very child initiated but do have a few adult led activities (probably too many). If the children are not taking the topic on board then i will change/adapt it based on any common interests. However, after reading through many of the excellent posts on this sight (and the article on motivational planning) i really want to scrap topics and focus on selecting the skills that i would …

Hi everyone, I have just found out today that I have a lesson observation on monday - whole class input and then a linked group activity with CLL focus. We are looking at under the sea at the moment and I have had a look at the topic support and the fantastic ideas that people have suggested. However we have been looking at clips from Finding Nemo as a starting point so I wanted to do something based on that. If anyone has a ideas that would be great. I am an NQT and really want this observation to go well. Thanks

What Can Target Tracker Do?

not sure if this is the right place but here goes. I am sitting here painstakingly filling in paper work for our EY advisor which involves me extracting information from the EYFS points grids (all 113 for each child) according to different groups of children i.e. all boys, all girls etc and recording their results to show how many children got 1 point, 2 points etc for all PSE and CLL. It is taking me an absolute age, surley that is what target tracker was invented for? I thought this tool could extract this sort of information to make it easy or am I totally wrong and missed the point? Some one help before my eyes give up!

Dear all, I am starting a Reception/Year 1 job in September. My new head is happy for me to plan to the six areas of learning for Y1, but I think I need to sort out the National Curriulum KS1 subject skills into the 6 areas of learning. I am planning to cut and paste the NC skills into the 6 areas of learning to provide myself with a long term plan for the year, then I can highlight skills as I cover them. Before I spend hours doing this I was wondering if anyone else had done something similar??? If not, once I have done it I will put it on here for the rest of you!! Thanks! P.S. I think I may have accidentally also posted this under ICT. Oops, I am stil…
