No topic literacy planning?!
by Guest- 3 replies

Hello, I love the idea of no topics and I think this works really well for continuous provision and the recent Objective Led planning we have started. However, I am struggling with Literacy planning. Do you find things they are interested in on a daily, weekly, termly basis and plan sessions around these? Thank you in advance!

Hi, as pressure mounts for reception children to achieve a 3 in writing, does anyone start teaching letter formation in Lower Foundation? Ours currently come up writing their names and cvc words but their formation is not right. It then is very difficult to un learn the bad habits! Don't want to force writing too early, any thoughts?

I don't see the difference between the 'exceeding' statement: Through their explorations, finds out and makes decisions about how media and materials can be combined and changed and the 'early learning outcomes' for 40 to 60+.

The ELG, on the other han…

Hello Do you plan a separate PSE plan each week or do you tackle things as they arise and as part if your continuous provision? What areas do you have a separate teacher input for?

Hi, Just wondering what you consider to be a problem solving activity? Sorry if that sounds a stupid question but as usual I am thinking to deeply into it ! Due you consider it to be any activity that involves them finding their own way of doing achieving something? So could include creating a model/picture etc , how to solve a role-play problem e.g. stopping the trolls getting in or a more traditional problem e.g. how to move all bricks to the other side of the playground? Thanks, Green Hippo x
