Learning Journeys Or Equivalent
by Guest- 15 replies
- 1.1k views
Hello, Im an NQT and new to reception, i didnt realise that many reception classes set up a 'learning journey' or equivalent for each child to track their progress throughout the year through photos post-its etc at the beginning of the year. Our reception unit dont do these currently and i would definatly like to bring them in fully from september 09. We keep all observations etc in seperate files and photgraphs are kept all over the place! this idea sounds like a much more organised and attractive way - even if more time consuming and im sure parents would love to have them as a keep sake when sent home at the end of reception. I am going to trial these until the …

Space - Whatever Next?
by Guest- 7 replies

Hello everyone! I was just wondering whether anybody had any Reception planning they could post on space please? We have read Whatever Next? this week and are carrying on the topic on space next week. We have made junkmodelling rockets, made little rocket books sequencing the story, made shooting stars using marbles and that's it. I plan to introduce time, with a tenuous link on getting Baby Bear back for his bath on time - so making clocks out of paper plates, reading bingo game I made featuring the sentence 'Can I go to the moon?', screen printing rockets to feature their own stories on space and now I have come to a blank... what KUW outcomes could I achieve please? I …

Hiya, I wonder if anyone can help please? I have a mixed age class, (YR/1/2, 10 of each) and have an interview for a straight foundation stage class in another school in a couple of weeks . The head is coming to observe me on Wednesday and I imagine wants to see brilliant stuff going on with YR. Y1/2 are on 3D shape this week and I just wondered if anyone has any unusual ideas for ways of weaving this into the CP areas for Y1 and upper YR group who are beginning to access more and more of the Y1 activities, or to hit the basic Shape and Space ELGs for YR? Have a few ideas like painting faces and printing with them, sorting which shapes roll downhill/which don't, copy…

Ages And Stages

Hi Folks Having been stranded at home today I have had a very productive day working on my new continuous provision sheets. I had not gone far when it soon became apparent that I was going to drive myself mad constantly typing out the 'ages and stages' statements. So I found a document that had them all on but not in a form I could use and spent the next 2 hours cutting and pasting them into a form that was usable to me. That is one I could easily cut and paste statements quickly onto whatever I needed. Having always got so much from everyone on here I would like to attach them for anyone to use. I haven't divided them up into 30 - 50 and 40 - 60mths as for what I was do…

Bogged Down With Literacy!
by Guest kelh81- 14 replies
- 1.4k views
Hi, I'm reviewing my timetable for my Reception class and have realised that am lot of my week is taken up with CLL directed teaching. We do phonics daily from 9.30- 9.45 (though by the time we have got back from assembly, got into groups then sat down and ready to start it's more like 9.40 - 10.00). Then we do guided reading, individual readers and/or handwriting until 10.30 (playtime). So the first session of every morning is taken up with literacy based activities. I have then been told I have to also fit in a daily Literacy and Maths lesson which, when you add 2 x PE and 1 x RE (we're a church school) leaves around 3 sessions for KUW, Creative, PSED & Physic…

Assembly Monday- Eek!

Hi everyone, I've just found out today that I have to do a whole school assembly on Monday! It's Friday now and I've never done one before so panicking a little! It's not a class one with my kids, just me doing it. The theme for the week is on "Who can I trust?" I am introducing it. A teacher on Tues is doing stranger danger so I don't need to focus on that really. She said I could introduce the word "trust", what does trust mean? etc. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good story book about trust and any other ideas please?x
