A simple plan for the first week of term in a new reception class. Circle time activities planned to get to know your children and a selection of activities for provision and adult supported to baseline your children in an engaging and play-based manner.

For this week we have our children part time so our plan is much more simplified. There are circle time ideas and adult-led activities to support baseline assessments through age-appropriate activities. There are also a range of continuous provision enhancements to engage children and again, hit some of your baseline assessments through play - none of that RBA iPad assessing here!
