Outdoor continuous provision boxes

This is a record that stays with the child from Nursery and into Reception. It is designed to be updated each term with regard to where the child’s best fit is within the development matters document. Easy to use and in word so can be edited if necessary.

Daily risk assessment - a member of staff to perform these checks before/just after all the children have entered the classroom. It is important to keep this record. Download as a word document so fully editable to meet the needs of your setting.

Proud letters are sent home for parents to fill out and then return to school so that home learning can be shared and celebrated.

I use these checklists to stick to the cover pages of our English and maths books. As the children progress across the year I highlight there progress within writing, reading, number and shape. It is very visual during book scrutinies and would be especially useful for NQT’s or teachers new to the age phase who need support in talking about the curriculum and individual progress.

My continuous provision is set up in the documented colour zones. These zones group similar activity areas and allow me to create my rainbow challenges for a variety of areas each week. This ensures my challenges cover a wide range of learning opportunities. Shared in word so that it is fully editable.
