Literacy Teaching
by Guest- 3 replies

I am already feeling a little fed up with my literacy planning and was after some ideas for making it a little more exciting. I am enjoying teaching numeracy and seem to have plenty of ideas for this but literacy seems to take forever to plan. I would love to know if anyone uses a useful scheme. I am not so far linking to the NLS and whilst the head has not commented on this, I was wondering if I should be. Also, do others do so many days of reading and some of shared writing etc each week? Apologies for all the questions!

Hi! I am trying to develop a long-term plan for our reception classes (was non-existent before) and am beginning to worry that I'm not covering the ELGs as I should. I began filling in the long-term plan using the ELGs from the focused activities we do throughout the year. However, I realised that I do not cover all ELGs through the focused activities - not explicitly anyway. For example: 'Interacting with others, negotiating plans and activities and taking turns in conversations' (CLL, langauge for communication) I cover this mainly through my continuous provision. How does everyone else cover all ELGs? I realise that many are covered through routines and environment …

Big Books

Hello all, wondered if you could help me. Unfortunately my school has a really inadequate supply of big books generally and I struggle to find texts in school to use for shared reading with the children. I have bought my own copy of Peace at Last, whatever next, hungry caterpillar and bear hunt but wondered if you could advise a few more for me. I am thinking along the lines of texts with language patterns/easy for the children to join in with after a couple of reads. Thank you! Emma

Christmas Song

This year for our Christmas play we are doing an 'around the world' theme. I recalled a piece of music that I've worked with several years ago and so said I wanted to do Lapland. Unfortunately - I can't recall all the words to the song It was part of a Ginn music scheme (I think), there was a CD that came with it. Basically the song builds up on different activities that go on around Christmas time - wrapping presents, toys being made. I wonder if anyone working in a school knows it and can help me out. It goes something like .. Wrapping presents (actions and sound effects to match words) Santa's hammer goes (as above) Think it might also have so…

Polar Bears

Have just spent a very enjoyable (but partly unproductive) day shopping with my daughter. One of the items on our list was a range of 'Arctic' animals - small world type. We went in every 'pound shop', charity shop, Woolworths and even Early Learning Centre but couldn't find any. I'm desperate - either everyone on this forum has been shopping over half term or there's a serious gap in the market. ELC did have a tub of animals for £5 which I think included a polar bear - but the figures where so small I couldn't use them in a Tuff tray. If anyone has got any - I'd love to know where you got them. Harricroft
