Hi, raising children's achievement in reading is one of our targets. I was wondering if anyone has any good target sheets for reading that can be used by all staff to help them make useful and focused comments on children's reading skills and then identify next steps. Thanks Mel C

In my LA the advisors are pushing the teaching of the daily phonics session in ability groups across classes. I have been asked to set this up as part of my performance mangement. I was just wondering if those people who have tried this could give me any potential issues arising from this and anything you would have done differently when you first started this approach. We are probably going to have 7 or 8 groupings across 3 classes (R, Year One and poor ability Year 2). Obviously the timetabling and space and resourcing issues are going to have to be ironed out but was wondering more about the planning, assessing and keeping track of all children. Also, what happe…

Tracking Children

Hi I work in a foundation area 42 reception, 20 nursery chn and 29 year 1. We want to track the chn so at the end of the week we know exactly which areas they have been in. We have tried putting coloured pegs on the chn sweatshirts and then they transfer them onto a card and then a sheet for the week at the end of the day but this is time consuming. We just want to be able to see the whole week for each child (just concentrating on Rec and Year 1) and monitor where they are going. Anybody got a good system? Thanks

Our topic at the moment is snow and ice- I have built an igloo in my class, so very happy. I am also looking at polar bears with the kids- hence being able to help with the request for polar bear resources. BUT, can I find much on penguins? NO, so I thought to myself- 'I know my friends on the forum will be able to help me..' over to you guys- know any sites that can tell us about penguins aimed at 4 year olds? Thank you

I am in the process of changing my daily/weekly structure/planned activities. I was finding that I never had any time to sit back and watch my children, do observations, and enjoy teaching them. there was always something I hadn't done or a group i hadn't managed to work with. So as of tomorrow I am doing a phonics session (20 mins) followed by dedicated guided reading time (I found I never had enough time to hear each group over the week!) everyday. Thats after morning play. Before morning play- on 3 days a have a good chunk of time to devote to either literacy or numeracy. On the other days I have an ICT slot and a PE slot. One afternoon I have another PE slot, le…

Does anyone have some suggestions on keeping my noisy class of 6 year olds quiet? I have mostly boys in my class this year and they seem to shout at each other They get louder and louder. I clap to get their attention, and then talk softly to them. I have told them about our indoor voices, this doesn’t really help. Please help. thanks
