Week one planning for a reception class - matching my medium term plan and progression document. Weekly theme: Valentines Day. The plan includes an overview of the week showing when we teach, how we distribute staff, a continuous provision plan, a maths plan, a maths notebook, and the challenge page to match our challenge mountain. We are doing Greg Bottrill’s Drawing Club for our literacy this term. Unfortunately I cannot share the planning for this as it would be copyright. I highly recommmend you take the training for just £30 and all the planning is included with that. I can guarantee that you will leave inspired!
