Guest Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hi, has anyone managed to get their heads around how the new Literacy and Maths framework effects Reception? I'm finding it very hard to do the planning, especially the Maths. Are we supposed to be following the blocked units like the other year groups? (looking at the Leicester county council website it looks like some places are advocating this). I'm having great difficulty setting up a medium term plan! Any suggestions/websites would be very much appreciated! Thanks Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Mandy1 and welcome. Do remember that these frameworks are not statutory, CGFS is. I do not have a class this term and had no training on either framework in my last school. Im pretty sure lancs has some stuff although its all a bit vague for reception. Have you tried a search on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I've today been put on a course for it which isn't till November, but I said yes, even though I don't think it will be appropriate at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I've read something in the EYFS pack today, I cant really say what it was about becasue I was only killing time scanning through it but it mentions the Lit and Num framework in the statatory book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you go to Cumbria ngfl, they have medium term plans for reception for the autumn term at the moment. I have been on co-ordinator numeracy training today and they gave me nothing to work from for foundation stage. But say its choice if we follow the blocks like the rest of the year groups.

Guest Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I went on a planning course for the EYFS last week and our Kent ASK asvisor said to follow the EYFS and NOT the new frameworks for Lit and maths. Also the Head and I went to "On the Write lines" which was about bridging the gap between reading and writing Sats results and they suggested the lancs website for unit summaries for KS1.

Thanks Hi I have recently constructed a maths medium term plan in line with the new framework. I dont think that you have to follow the units as other year groups. I looked at the core learning in reception for both subjects and referenced the learning overviews as appropriate. the hope is to incorporate the objectives that have moved down from year1 into our existing medium term plan i will upload it in resources for you to have a look at, it may be helpful not sure i have uploaded them here well i think i have its in manage attachments Foundation_2_Medium_Term_plan_autumn_2007.doc foundation_2_Medium_term_plan_spring_2008.doc Foundation_2_Medium_Term_plan_Summer_2008.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
