Early Years Continuous Provision - Colour Monster Suitable for Early Years or Year 1 This scheme of work has been planned with emotional literacy in mind. It could be used at any point in the year, particularly if you are helping children to understand and deal with their emotions. However, it would be a great transition resource for the first half term of reception. Part 1 - Each day includes one group or whole class activity that focuses on children dealing with and understanding their emotions. Each day covers a different book linked to a different emotion, these include: • The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas (all feelings) • Angry Octopus by Lori Lite and Max Stasuyk (anger) • Where Happiness Begins by Eva Eland (happiness) • Breathing Makes It Better by Christopher Willard and Wendy O’Leary (calm) • Felix after the Rain by Dunja Jogan (sadness) Part 2 - Part 2 includes a range of suggested continuous provision activities that you may want to put out for the children to access throughout the week. There is a number of activities listed, all engaging and fun. All of the continuous provision planning has links to the NEW EYFS 2021 Development Matters, specifically the ‘Children in reception will be learning to…’ section. This is detailed planning (3460 words). Please leave a review; I would really appreciate it.

This comes from the BLEW (Bilingual Learners Early years Work box) document. I typed out useful extracts to keep somewhere prominent for teachers and observers to refer to. I thought it was an excellent basis for judging where bilingual learners are in their acquisition of English.
