Not at all sure this is the right place for this post, but here goes. I was approached by our head at the end of school today to ask my opinion on our local playgroup moving onto school premises. (we knew it was being talked about) - she is now apparantly planning for playgroup to move into our current Foundation Stage classroom, them to move up into what is at present a 'spare room' (much less wet area, no access to outdoor provision) etc. We had planned (with her!) for Y1 to be in 'spare classroom' to share access to Continous provision & outdoor area as part of our transition work.

We have recently had a learning walk by the SMT and as a result they have 'suggested' read implied that we need to have some form of evidence to show the childrens reflection of thier OWN learning. I can see the point of it (?) but am lacking of ideas and how to manage it. they have suggested that the children have a workbook where they record any major discoveries in they child initiated play = how would anyone else go about recording this - we are still in the planning stage so will welcome ANY ideas at all Thanks - much appreciated Sarah xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Please help! I am a reception class teacher but due to falling rolls will be teaching reception and Year 1 in September. I am keeping half of my current class so can't re use my Foundation stage topics. My school is adopting a 2 year rolling programme so my class and the mixed Year 1/2 class have to follow the Year 2 QCA programme for foundation subjects - history, geography etc. Does anyone have any experience of this or any advice of how to adapt this for my new reception children? Literacy and numeracy are not a problem.
