Teacher Week - When plus a Freebie!!

Hi Y'All!!

I can't believe I have posted 4 days in a row!

Today is WHEN and I'm a bit stumped for this blog post because I don't really know for sure when I am teaching anything, haha!

We have half termly topics that we teach using a thematic approach, meaning we try to tie each lesson into the theme, which is really lovely. However, because I'm now a Reception teacher (Kindergarten) we also try to teach from the children's interests - so the topics are VERY loosely planned, and if the children get bored after a week or two and decide they want to learn all about Unicorns or Spacemen, then we get to go with it!! That's the joy of working in Early Years, the children lead the learning and you never know where you're going to end up! 

So this is a VERY loose overview of my topics this year;

The children spend lots of time learning through play, where we support the children in their learning and also provide additional learning opportunities based on their interests. We then have a set phonics sessions every morning for about 20 minutes, a numeracy (math) lesson in the morning for around half hour and a literacy/topic based lesson in the afternoon for another 30 minutes.

I have been working my BUTT off to make my phonics printables to try and make life a little easier when I go back for me and my colleagues, and I have JUST finished up my Phase 2 Phonics Pack - it's perfect for early readers and to celebrate my 50TH blog post (woohoo!!) I've added a freebie sample of the pack - just click on the image to download it!!

If you like it then you can buy the full pack from my TPT Store or my Teacher's Notebook Store which is currently on sale at 20% off until tomorrow! 

I'm also hosting a giveaway of the pack, if you'd like to enter you can below;

I can't wait to read how everyone else organises their day, and hopefully get some inspiration!!
