Sheets for assessing children against the ELGs. We find this handy when sitting as a team and discussing the children’s abilities, looking through books and recent assessments. It then makes inputting data for LA very quick and simple.

Year 1 Challenge Passport for continuous provision activities. I also use this for reception but adapt the reception writing and maths activities to be more accessible for them.

Activities linked to the fabulous book ‘Ada Twist, Scientist.’ Aimed at a year one class but could easily be adapted for reception and year two.

Activities linked to the traditional tale, The Gingerbread Man aimed at a mixed reception and year one class.

Challenges set out in continuous provision for a mixed reception and year one class.

This is the planning sheet that I give to my TA to support teaching phonics. It ensures that there is consistency across all groups as we follow the same format, no matter who is teaching.

An activity to help children practise the sound ‘m’

The first week of term for us is only 2 days long, so rather than do an entire plan for this, I have just done a brief overview linking to the story ‘Room on the Broom’. This is the first book that we are going to explore using Drawing Club so seemed nice to link it all in together and immerse the children.

An activity to practise recognising the sound ‘d’

For this week we have our children part time so our plan is much more simplified. There are circle time ideas and adult-led activities to support baseline assessments through age-appropriate activities. There are also a range of continuous provision enhancements to engage children and again, hit some of your baseline assessments through play - none of that RBA iPad assessing here!

This week our focus is still to settle the children, model the provision and get to know them! So there is NO FORMAL LEARNING planned. Here you will find some ideas for circle time and continuous provision enhancements based on the fabulous story: The Gruffalo.
