Topic planner mindmap covering the job of a postal clerk, post-person, Post Office and sorting office roles and role-play, as well as writing opportunities

I have written three extended stories to some Oxford Reading Tree Stage 1 stories. I could not find the original extended stories to these, although they may exist. The stories are for: Who is it?, Six in a bed, and Fun at the beach. I have also attached some other original extended stories, written by Roderick Hunt, that I have typed out, ready for a Shared Reading session.

Apologies if already uploaded - I couldn't find it. This is my LA's current tracker system to cover the whole of the EYFS in its current state. The only bit missing is scale points 9 on the profile. This will be changed once the LA study the new Development Matters and get the new ELG format for the 2013 profile.

Practise writing the alphabet by shape. Focus on the size of letters - ascenders and descenders.

Moderation prompt form for pupil progress meetings. Simple table ensuring that learning journeys are consistent, and analysis of percentage of progress made that term. Good progress of 78 points / average scale point of 6 per area of learning. Analysis of class make-up: SEN, G&T, EAL, LAC, FSM etc. Reasons for v high/low profile scores and any future CPD needs. Useful as a summary for the EYFS Co-ordinator when talking to SLT/HT/OFSTED/LA Profile Manager.

Action plans/school development plan templates based around the Every Child Matters outcomes. To be completed by Nursery Manager/staff, Headteacher/teaching staff together or independently, and then share outcomes. Q-Cards are the Leicester City Council’s response to action planning for OFSTED (Q for Quality & Risk Analysis)

PowerPoint of What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson (apologies about some of the pictures) along with the shared reading prompts from the Scottish Book Trust.\nI created this as the ladybird was just too hard for a whole class of kids to spot from the picture book!

A world map showing the Commonwealth countries and where they can be found. Used as a resource to support learning about the Queen and the countries she reigns over.

Front cover for a child's learning journey. Space for child's photo and name. Based on an idea provided by my LA (sorry unsure who had initially drawn this up)

An image of children holding hands around the world. Could be used as a starting point for similarities and differences; cultural, or new year discussions

Writing frames differentiated on ability. Children to draw a picture to reflect the beginning, middle and end of the story, and either write a sentence, caption or beginning/middle/end or trace over words.

Pictures to be used for paired discussion. Children to study the picture carefully, and talk about it: What is the picture about? Who are the characters? What do you like about the picture? Imagine you are in the picture, who would you be? Where would you be? What are you doing? Designed to be used with R-time lesson Year 1 lesson 1.15. Also useful for SEAL lessons and other times where images of multicultural families and people are needed.

Great ideas if you are planning to set up a florist in your role-play corner.

Termly assessment of phonemes and graphemes known. Using a different colour each assessment, I draw a semi-circle above for phoneme known and underneath for grapheme known. Listed in order of teaching from Phases 2 and 3 of Letters and Sounds phonic teaching materials.
