AnonyMouse_2776 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I have been subscribed to Nursery Education (online and print) for some time. I do like it's format in general because it has a big spectrum of articles (activities, professional development, news, posters, etc), but I have some doubts. I work with a Reception level class, which is the last stage of the EYFS... but which is usually connected to the 'schools' in the UK. So, when I read Nursery Education, even though the activities include the ELG, lots of times I feel that the magazine centers more towards Nurseries. I am subscribed to the Child Education online, but I have the impression that the Reception is not given that much of attention. So, as I have always felt... Reception is always in the middle of the "sandwich", squeezed between two curriculums. Well... my question is this: Which magazine/s do you really consider is/are the best suited for Reception teachers? Thanks in advance for your kind suggestions. Have a nice weekend
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I agree magazines seem to ignore reception needs apart from the occasional crumb. I stopped subscribing to any and am fortunate that I could buy a copy of a magazine from WHS if there is anything I considered suitable which wasn't often.
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Same as Marion - I gave up a long time ago I'm afraid. It didn't seem like value for money given the litttle I would actually use. Cx
AnonyMouse_79 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 And my experience too............ I've also stopped looking at them for yr1 as very often its superficial relevance. IF you have a large collection already, Smiley, you probably have all the picture resources etc that you really need and anything else can be found here!
AnonyMouse_2776 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 Thank Marion, Catma and Susan! Let's hope someday someone creative will take the challenge and help us out with a good Reception magazine . Meanwhile, the FSF is our best resource indeed .
AnonyMouse_18910 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I agree to.....have you subscribed to the Department for Educations Early Years Magazine? You can subscribe for free on 08000351464 or email subs@eymagazine.co.uk. I've just had my first copy so I've not made my mind up about it yet but the is a good article on water play that I'll be using in my setting. Good Luck in finding something that you like.
AnonyMouse_2776 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 Hi Nicky, Thanks for the link. I had a look and downloaded from the achieve, but I have the impression it is not for Reception
