Guest Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Hi. This is my first posting, so here goes. I've been looking to buy the BEAM Starting Out folder as a guide to practical activities and guidance. This is my first year in Reception after always teaching Y1/2 and feel I need some more fun and basic ideas. The folder looks good. Has anybody used it?
shazzam Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 just wanted to say welcome , hope someone who knows replies
Susan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Lette and welcome. I would agree that that looks like an excellent resource. Unfortunately I have not used it but I have used the Beam Mini Maths Books which are very practical. I also like the Abacus Maths, the foundation stage cf reception stuff is also practical and allows you to make sure you are delivering the NNS content. I assume it would also match up well against the new framework but I would be very hesitant in purchasing anything without discovering that. You can access the Abacus planning at hamiltontrust.org.uk
Helen Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Lette, We have a review of this product here. I've seen the Starting Out product, and I thought it was great, particularly if you're new to the Foundation Stage
Guest Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks to everybody for your help. I've looked at the review. It does look good, but think I will look at Abacus first.
