Balance Of Plans

[Guest]

I am a teacher in a Foundation Unit, currently i do a weekly plan for all the recpetion and Nursery children but i do a seperate weekly plan for the reception Literacy/Numeracy/ICT. Please can somebody advise me whether they think it would be acceptable to have one plan as long as there was plenty of differentiation and links to stepping stones/ ELG's.

 

Hope you can help

Are you the only teacher? Is there a nursery teacher to share the planning with? What has the FS co-ordinator advised? Would love to know as I work in a FS unit too and our planning is seperate from the reception - I know it shouldn't be but try telling that to the reception teacher!

I'm in a Foundation Stage unit but slightly different circumstances as there are 2 teachers and 2 NNEBs. We plan together for all the children and differentiate the activities by ability rather than by age. We seperate for 30 minutes at the biginning of each session for direct teaching but then the children work together regardless of age.

I cant see why you should have to do two planning sheets if you can fit all the information on one. In some ways I think it would show more clarity for progression. However, I am only a reception teacher, maybe others disagree.
