Would Love Feedback On Timetable

Hi all, Would love feedback on our reception timetable and set-up for first term. We're a 3-form entry school with am and pm nursery. The 3 main reception classes have the main resources for CLL, PSRN and KUW and we have a spare classroom for CD. I'm trying to get the balance of CI activities and adult-led/focused activities right. We have 3 reception classes with 6 adults. There are also 2 additional adults in Nursery and 2x p/t staff to cover PPA and family groups. Group learning is as playful as possible - I keep having to keep at the back of my mind that phonics isn't play, story time isn't play and adult-led singing isn't play! In free-flow, children can go outside (with activities set up in all areas of learning) or into 3 of the 4 rooms (we usually close KUW or PSRN). Different areas are always set up in rooms (with intended learning outcome) which children are used to (e.g. letter writing, role-play, bee-bots etc.) and then other activities need adult instructions if a child chooses the activity or the adult plays along. These tie in as much as possible to the 'connector' and the 'programme of skills' that we have set up. As we take children's interests as much as possible, we keep the programme of skills (which almost replaces the old topics) and base these around very loose connectors. Staff are timetabled in different areas in order to observe and move children on in their learning as much as possible in child-initiated learning. So in free-flow time, I could be in CLL Mon, PSRN/KUW Tue CD/Outside Wed Outside/CD Thu Obs time Fri In addition to adults observing, joining in play, modelling etc. there are ops for focus activities. We have 3 focus chn from each class each week and in addition, 6 chn from each class take part in a focus activity for CD, PD, CLL, PSRN/KUW. By the end of the 10 weeks, each child has been a 'focus child' and each group of chn have 'been seen' twice in each area of learning. Obviously, any 'wow' moments are captured on camera and post-it notes and fed back. All info is fed back into planning meetings each week and photos and post-it notes are collected each day. Groups mix for phonics - with 4 groups taking place each day (90 chn in total). Each group has extra adult support 2 or 3 times. Am sure I haven't explained this well, but any feedback would be great! Fluffy Lamb KGPSReception_Timetable_2010.doc
