Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi Can anyone on this brilliant site give me some pointers/advice on daily organisation/routine of a class of 12 Y1 and 12 Reception children. I just feel that when I am teaching the Y1 group and then working on focused activities with them that I never have a chance to work with the Reception children. They work with the TA. Also when the YR are doing their child led activities it becomes quite noisy when I am trying to get Y1 to attend to text/word level work. You know how easily they are distracted! I know I could work with YR while TA does focused lit/num activity with Y1. Any ideas please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 At this time of year our Y1 work the same as reception most of the time and I think it is a good idea for you and the TA to alternate which group you work with. Can recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/Managing-Curriculu...TF8&s=books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks for your reply Marion. Its not so much the content of the curriculum - think we've got that quite well organised. It's just getting the organisation of the teaching times right - since for lit and num some of the Y1's are ready for the Year 1 curriculum. I'll certainly have a look at the book.

Marion Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 There is an overlap between the ELGs and NC some of the goals are level 2 NC if you check so the children are in effect working within NC. Its just a matter of differentiating to stretch the more able rather than working formally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi, Im in a very similar situation to you. I have a mixed reception, year 1 class and love it. We run a simple literacy/ numeracy session every morning, with independant activities running so that i can work on focused groups. In the afternoon we run a Highscope planning time. This is were the children plan 3 self chosen activities, and then recall in the last session what they have done. We find it quickly encourages the children to become independant in completing activities and also organising themselves. We have spent a lot of time setting up the classroom so that everything is labeled and accesable but it pays of. What's even better in our last OFSTED we were praised because it was directly in line with the 'excellence and enjoyment' document. I wound this document helpful with planning. Found it from this site a while ago, but it is brilliant. I also like Hamilton for Maths and Literacy activities because they cater for YR/Y1.
