Hi there Does anyone know off hand - the requirements for teaching Shared reading and writing and PSRN. I have been scanning the EYFS documents but can't seem to find it. At the moment I feel I am doing too much CLL and PSRN and not enough Creative and KUW, so am hoping to be able to make some cuts and not do CLL and PSRN every day. Thanks XXX

I'm quite happy with the way I do guided writing, children seem to be learning lots, enjoying writing and seeing themselves as writers, but another teacher seemed surprised today about how I do it, so I just wanted to check with all youl ovely people that i'm not unknowingly doing something ridiculous, too formal and KS1ish? We do lots of different writing, have lots of opportunities for writing in all areas of the classroom, children choose to write in their play etc, this happens in all different sized groups, obviously. My guided writing, though, when I am actually doing direct, focus teaching of differentiated skills (eg finger spaces, initial sounds, spelling HFW…

Hi, This year has been like a trial and error experience for me as I am new in Reception and I was trying to get my head around the EYFS. Next year we are very likely to be inspected so I am trying to evaluate my planning all the time to make sure it is correct. I do feel like I am still unsure of a couple of things, like, the numeracy and literacy objectives for Reception- with the EYFS in place do we still follow the objectives from the standards site or not? It is just that with the early learning goals, the scale points and everything else I just want to ensure I am right in what I am doing! Please can someone reassure me with the literacy and numeracy plans,…

If the Development Matter statements from 40-60+ correspond to the previous green stepping stones, I understand that the ELG are mainly the same as the previous ones which were coloured grey. Right? If so, then the ELG correspond to children older than 60 months old/5 year olds in Reception or will become 5 in Reception in a school that only has one intake in September? Oh, I hope I am not confusing you or it is that I am so tired that I cannot think anymore
