Mixed Age Planning- Journets Or Transport

[Guest]

Hello, I am feeling so fed up at the moment and really need the holiday to catch up on some sleep.

I am supposed to be following the topic heading of either Journeys or Transport after Christmas . Has anyone got any planning they can share for a mixed Reception/ Year 1 class please. I have never done this topic before and could really do with some help.

 

Thanks

 

oops that was journeys not journets as in the title

Have a look on Featherstone Education as Sally does something on mixed age planning. I'm not sure if she covers your themes but it might be helful anyway.

Thanks Jacquie- that's the book with the smarties on isn't it? I will try and get hold of it?

 

Thanks to you too Suzanne, I have seen that planning I was just looking for something that already had the year 1 objectives too. I really am probably being lazy just feeling really uninspired at the moment.

I found this which I am going to use with the Year 1s in my class when I do Rosie's walk and journeys in the second half of the spring term....

 

 

I am currently trying to do that planning as I have a trainee teacher during that time and she needs the planning to look at and alter ready for her time in my class.... I will post it when completed if you think it might help.

Hi Lorna, anything would be a great help at the moment my head teacher has gone assessment mad and I am beginning to wonder why I am doing this job!!!

I am dreading the holidays as I realise how much work I will need to do!!!

 

That Rosie's walk stuff is great, thanks for sharing. I already did some of the Geog unit all around us. We made a large 3D table top map and wrote our own version of the story using our class Travelling Ted. I also made those little people that Peggy mentioned using photos of the children. They used them to model there route from home to school.

 

The more I think the more ideas I am having it's just getting everything on paper.

 

Oh by the way, how did you find that science stuff I posted you? Because I came across this the other day and just thought I would share it here. Scroll down the list and you will see mixed age plans year A and B. I have used the light ones this Term and they have been easy to follow.

 

Thanks Lorna

Thanks for the link, Fairynough - as science coordinator (one of many hats!) I am always on the look out for science stuff

Here's a link to Lancsngfl site with a journeys plan for Rec/Yr1/Yr2 - you might have to adapt some ideas but it may give you a start:

no worries ASPK- it was one of those things I came across on the net whilst looking for something else. I have used the light planning and it seemed Ok.

 

Thanks Kermit I am off to have a look at that link

 

I really don't know what I would do with out the fsf

 

Thanks everyone

The science stuff you sent me is brilliant.... makes life much easier.... i will be doing the planning mentioned above next week and will post it when complete....

 

If its any help to anyone I have planning on People who help us for a mixed year R/1 class that is now finished and I am willing to post..

I haven't got mixed year planning but here's my medium term plan for Reception just in case there's anything useful in it. medium_term_plan.doc I can never begin to imagine how people manage mixed year planning. The very thought of it makes my head spin. I know of someone who has a mixed YR/Y1/Y2 class - the horrors of that don't bear thinking about.
