Hi just wanted to know do any of you do a six week check list of a child after they have been at preschool for six weeks. If so what do you do. In our setting the key person does a check list and that is put into the childrens folders. It basically says things like can seperate from parent/carer, activities they perfer, interacting with children etc.I don't know if we are doing paperwork that is not necessary. Dorinda

hi all, hope this works as i've never started a new topic before. I just wondered what sort of stuff you keep in your foundation stage manager file. I have nursery and reception assessments, staff cpd, ofsted info, sef, minutes for meetings, school development plan, policies etc. Any suggestions for other stuff i'd be grateful. Thanks julie

Hello, this is my first time posting something on the forum! Not sure if I am doing it right!? I am trying hard to plan my topic for the summer term - my reception class are doing holidays and we are having an outdoor campsite - requested by the class - but would appreciate any planning ideas for this topic. We are also having a whole school Pirate week with a science focus ( parents invited to see end result!) and i have no ideas of what to do - only floating and sinking come to mind, but not sure how to make it exciting for parents and children! Any help appreciated. Thank you Cat xox

Hi everyone, I will be running a twilight phonics course in my Foundation unit on 14th and 17 th June. Just wondered if anyone was interested. The course mainly consists of simple, practical ideas for independent practise of phonics learning on table tops and in areas of provision. I ran a couple of courses last year and they were well received. If you are interested, please contact me for further details. Thanks Helen A_twilight_course_sharing_tried_and_tested_independent_phonic_activities_that_children_just_can.doc
