Thank you Steve for giving us the opportunity to share thoughts on creative planning and approaches to year 2! If anyone is already teaching year 2 in this way i would be really keen to share practise and planning, if you are like me and going to teach year 2 for the first time in september, perhaps we could get going on swapping of ideas etc. Kellsa

Convincing Staff

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to bring the FS ethos up from reception through into years 1 and 2. So far the Y1 teacher has really taken onboard my ideas and has continuous play activities set up in their room, which they are using well. However the y2 teacher is very anti. He says that play will lower standards (which did need raising when he started, but....) He also has been out of the classroom for the last 6 years, so may y2 was less play based then (I don't know I was in the juniors then).

I'm moving to Y2 in Sept after 10 years in Foundation mixed with a bit of Y1 7 years ago. I've never taught Y2. My only experience is in my first year of teaching practise when I taught small groups. It's a bit scary bit very exciting too, especially as I'll be teaching last years class again. I'm keen to introduce some continuous provision and would be interested in hearing from people who have managed to do this in their school. Would anyone be willing to take some photos of their CP areas? Also has anyone got any tips for me in my move?

Was reading through the thread and saw someone else's idea to share our challenge ideas.: Play with the ice teddy. Make a list of other toys you think will freeze if we put in the freezer. Write a shopping list, find your toys and buy them, using the right money. Shopping list Write your news. News Make up a story using the animals in the sand tray. Tell it to a friend.

Im ok for the teaching input but would be great for the children to do some fun applying activities! All I can think of is silly sentence reading, getting them to use other strategies to decide whether it's a long or short vowel pronun. Anyone c=teaching this at the mo?? )

Hi, I am a foundation stage teacher in my 2nd year but my head has asked that I now track progress from reception to end of KS1. And to be honest I have no idea! My school are very hot on using APPs for literacy and numeracy and coming from foundation stage, it seems great, the perfect step on my the profile. However, with the profile I am used to tracking all areas of learning but the APP only covers lit and num. My school seems to have poor/almost non existance assessment system for the foundation subjects and I am not really sure what or where the assessment scales should be taken from for KS1 - can anyone help? I realise this is probably quite a basic thing to as…
