As seen on my Instagram… A lovely Autumnal maths activity to consolidate 2 step repeating patterns (3-step cards are included to stretch those little brains!)

Short powerpoint with images of autumn to promote discussion about leaves falling, migration and hibernation.

This week our focus is still to settle the children, model the provision and get to know them! So there is NO FORMAL LEARNING planned. Here you will find some ideas for circle time and continuous provision enhancements based on the fabulous story: The Gruffalo.

In depth EYFS medium term plan for autumn 1, matching my progression document. This covers the following subjects for the whole term: C&L PSED Literacy Maths UTW EAD Also including starter activities, adult inputs, follow up activities and key vocabulary. Please note, this does not include a physical development plan as this is taught by our specialist sports coach so I do not plan for these sessions.

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!

This is a sensory story I created for my topic 'seasons'. This was written for a PMLD/ CLDD class. I have written it with the sentence, the sense, the sensory experience and what I and my TAs are looking for and observing throughout the sessions. Repeat story throughout the term to enable the child to develop anticipation, investigation, awareness, preference and much more. Could also be used in an EYFS KS1 class.

Images to stimulate discussion (used as part of our work on sensory poems).

Powerpoint presentation of things that we see in the Autumn. Very simple . Photographs and titles with an Autumn poem at the end for Foundation stage and a slightly harder poem for older children.
