Firstly my apologies if the title of this is confusing - I really didn't quite know what to call it. Secondly, my apologies for yet another e-mail with a question (probably a stupid one) from me? As you can probably tell I'm doing a lot of reflecting on my own practice and provision this holiday! So, the question... In my classroom I have the usual construction, small world, playdough, making area, reading corner, writing table etc etc set up. I have continuous provision plans for some of these and am working on the others. At the moment I put a 'Can you...' question in each area e.g. Can you build some new furniture for the 3 bears? when we were doing Goldilocks. I only do this because other people have asked me to in order to show that the activities available are 'purposeful' and to give other adults 'visiting' the classroom a clue about what they could suggest for the child who is wandering round aimlessly. As far as possible the activities are linked to the overall theme/book/maths focus for that week. There is no expectation that the children will follow them and on the whole they don't apart from the time we had white glittery playdough and they made snowmen. They make/build/play what they like and we celebrate that. The expectation is that I do a similar thing outside too. Each day my reception children have a phonics session and either a PSRN or a CLL focus activity in the morning and in the afternoon we are moving towards having a focus for the other areas. I find thinking of and then writing out the 'Can you...' questions takes ages, I rarely get them done before Wednesday (that's just the indoor ones) and I'm not sure that it has any benefit. I don't know whether I'm just being lazy or not working efficiently enough. Do others do something similar? If so what/how much etc. and once again, apologies for all the stupid questions, you're probably all wondering what on earth I'm doing teaching reception!
