KUW-40-60mths-find out about and identify the uses of everyday technology and use information and communication technology to support their learning We have just completed a fullweek in our reception classes on currant buns so though I would share it in a thread. There will be a few posts with resources Monday-We started the beginning of the week with a brainstorm of KUW about how to make currant buns and created a shopping list. The children went on to create their own shopping lists some on laminated shopping cards, some use the cards to help them write their own and some used just the flash cards

Sorry to mention this again but I feel I still haven't got this right. My head looked at my planning and just suggested that there should be an assessment box on there. I pointed out the look listen note box but this went over his head!!!!! so I would be very grateful if I could please see some plans for reception or nursery/reception. Thanks very much. I seem to spend so much time on planning and I just want to be able to start in January with plans that i am happy with. Please help to put my little mind at rest.

HI, I just qualified before xmas. I have an interview on Monday for a Reception teaching post, haven't been in Reception class since my first practice. I've got to read a book and do follow up activity. Thought could do The Very Hungry Caterpillar, once read as a group see if children can identify days of week (using pre prepared cards and fruit) get them to put days in correct order and identify/remember what he ate. This is a school with quite bright children. With the new curriculum does this sound suitable, ie are Reception children supposed to know days of week? This is interview for 1st teaching post so want to do something good! If anyone has id…

Hi, I am in my final year of my early childhood studies degree and have to do a dissertation on a topic of my choice. I have chosen the transition from reception to year 1. I have created a questionnaire for practitioners working in reception or year 1 and would really appreciate it if anyone could complete it and send it back to me via the message system. Thank you in advance to anyone who participates. Emma practitioner_questionnaire_online.doc

Food Assembly

We have to perform our first assembly - Reception class - in a couple of weeks. We have been doing a topic on Food. I'm in a Catholic school, so our assemblies have to have a religious link. I've thought about doing the story of the Loaves and Fishes with the children acting it out, but need something more to 'pad it out'. I'm trying to think of a good story about sharing possibly? Or any other way to link to the Bible story. We have done the story of The Little Red Hen in the past and talked about helping each other, so I don't really want to do this. Anyone out there got ANY ideas - other bible stories or links would be equally interesting. I had thought…
