Challenging More Able Pupils

[Guest]

Hi Happy new Year to all,

just wondering if anyone knows of any publications or materials that would be helpful when planning for more able children in reception. I have 2 very able children and Im quickly running out of ideas of activities to plan for them. I have been on standards site and only found 'challenging pupils in KS1 for maths' I am probably just hopeless at searching on that site as I never find anything. If anyone has any ideas I'd grately appreciate them

Happy new year to you too Kat, just catching up on forum news - back to work tomorrow (aargh!). I've found this link which may/may not help: http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/database/able.html

I did hear that there was going to be something called 'Bright sparks in the early years' as a guide to teaching able/gifted but have searched this and it doesn't seem to be a relevant link, only an award scheme, unless it's not an active thing yet - maybe someone else might be wiser!!

the qca guidance seems to suggest using the Y1 curriculum to extend pupils

 

http://www.nc.uk.net/gt/general/06_foundation.htm

 

but also warns against making judgements about children at this stage ........not sure how helpful that is!
