I've found the Norfolk site really useful for MTPs for Reception. Does anyone know of any sites that do similar schemes for Nursery? It would be nice if we could introduce them to accompany the Reception ones we have. Any inspirational ideas? Thanks!

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! I know there have probably been lots of previous discussions so please forgive me if i am going over old ground, but some clarification is needed with regards to the scope and breadth of outdoor planning, what is right or wrong, what is enough, what are ofsted looking for??? At present, i changed my outdoor focus daily to reflect the focus of learning inside, i.e on a monday the focus is numercy, tuesday it is literacy, wed - physical dev, etc. Previously I was having a mirror like situation happening, whereby outdoor I had a markmaking area, sand, water, a book corner, outdoor roleplay, small world etc, etc; Both head and myself felt that this …

I went on a cluster group inset today - yippee! My cluster is very keen on the 'Learning Journey' approach and had invited some schools from Gloucester to talk about their approach to the creative curriculum. We had to split into key stages and the person who was leading the foundation stage discussion bases her plans on a very tight central theme; the example given was 'Cinderella and her Asian Prince'. From here children focus on Asian food and clothing, writing invitations and so on. Lots of the medium term plans I have seen previously have had a very broad central title e.g. 'Transport' or 'Animals' and then diversify out into different sub-topics e.g. 'Transp…

Groups In Reception

Hi, I have not yet grouped my children and tend to call them for activities when I see they are not engrossed in another activity. However, I am beginning to feel groups may be a better way of organising things. Has everyone else grouped their chn? If so, do you have different groups for literacy, numeracy and also foundation type subjects? I'm also worried that I am being to informal as apart from the groups working with an adult the remaining chn are allowed to free play. Is this ok or should I be directing them more? Can you guess I'm an NQT!

Hi folks is there anyone out there that can help me. I have a very young, very boistorous reception class this year and they are very quickly wearing me down They seem not ready to access the activites that I have put out for them to support our whole mornings of Cll and Md and need more free unstructured play based activites like in nursery. However, I don't really want to have the cars out all the time which is what many of them want (the noise level is unbearable) Can anyone share their own practise as to how they are organising their days at the moment and coping with this type of cohort? thankyou in anticipation
