Talk for Writing in Reception
by Guest- 2 replies

Hi everyone, I wondered if anyone could offer me some inspiring ideas for my second NQT observation in 2 weeks. I am being observed in Literacy, working on the topic of a recount of our trip to a local fire station. At our school we follow Pie Corbett Talk for Writing across all years including reception, and so I will be expected to have lots of talk for writing in this observation, however I have only ever done it for Storytelling, Instructions and Nursery Rhymes/poems. My lesson will be the second day of the second week of the recount unit so we will be expected to be writing something. Previously I have had whole carpet sessions where I model/do shared writing on …

Hi everyone, I just wondered if you could all advise how you currently plan for reception/foundation? We currently have the following levels of planning:Medium term plan - detailing the over arching topic and objectives to be covered along with possible activities. Continuous provision planning which states what resources are available in each area of the classroom and how adults can support these areas. These are just overviews for the year/long term. Weekly planning which has adult led and child choice activities on. I just wondered if people are adding enhanced provision onto their planning and wondered how this is different to child choice? Or has the term child …

A couple of weeks ago we were told we all had to celebrate national space day! I linked this to our topic of autumn by telling the children an alien had visited our school and wanted to know why leaves were falling off the trees and changing colour etc! I made him friendly....or so I thought! Now I have a parent who tells me her daughter keeps having nightmares because of the alien!! We have had discussions in class and she is fine in school but is still having nightmares at home! I feel terrible - what can I do?

Hi I was wondering what everybody else is using as a measure for good progress across KS 1. We have now been told that children leaving FS at expected are therefore entering YR 1 as 1c and then to make good progress need to make 10 points across the KS which means at the end of year 2 they need to be 2a.

how do you plan your reception day?

Hi, I am an NQT just started in Reception class. I am ks1/2 trained and finding it very challenging. I wanted to know how your day is planned for a reception class. Does it change from day to day or do you have a more structured day. At the moment I start my day off with self registration followed by phonics and literacy. We then have snack/playtime. After this we have circle time and then lunch. Straight after lunch its numeracy and then child initiated play, story and then home. I haven't included guided reading as we haven't started that. Not sure it should be this way. Other staff in the same year group do not know how to do it. Also I would really be intrigued to…
