I have created a yearly curriculum map overview for FS1 and FS2 and discussed planning and lesson delivery with the year 1 team and HPY. To accompany this I then worked with yr1 HPY to create a master lesson proforma for deliver and lead a PD on how we would like lessons and planning to look going forward. 
I feel like as a maths team we are working together on the same agenda and helping support each other. 
At times I have felt very overwhelmed as it has been a challenge with it being such a busy half term and on top of the curriculum lead position, my teaching role has been very demanding as I have a tricky class. I am hoping that as things begin to be imbedded and my class are more settled I will enjoy learning more skills within the role. ]]> 2021-11-04 11:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/1867197475 LA PD - Mastery in Maths and CPA larrowsmith_wis https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/1997228955 Led a PD for LA's on what and how they can support the CPA approach in the classroom.

After completing a Year 1 staff questionnaire I have received some positive feedback on the planning lesson proforma with teachers saying it is consistent, well structured and the teach, practice apply is helpful for AFL. 
There have been times that I have felt overwhelmed with the role and my class teacher role, juggling them both and wanting to ensure that I do both roles to my best potential.
Next Steps: I am going to share with year 1 some best practice when delivering Quadrant Recall to increase the amount of questions from 2 to 4 for term 3. Also, from my questionnaire feedback staff have said that they would like more PD on Mastery, reasoning and problem solving. In term 3 I would like to get into class more to see the practice of both year 1 and FS and not wait for Learning Walks. ]]> 2022-02-24 11:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/2064394659 Planning Questionnaire larrowsmith_wis https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/2069579404 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19jFQCYEH0lp4YoGS50UQN37Ui2pIfZceibnIC6GTKN4/edit#responses

'spot the mistake, what's the odd one out?, how many ways, what's the same what's different?

Ideas for 22/23
  • How can we arrange our CP to ensure children are exploring mathematically? 
  • Maths Meetings - 10-15 minutes separate from the maths lesson to consolidate/develop fluency skills. How can you bring maths into the daily routine? Calendar, time, representations.

Points to think about 
  • How can the environment be changed now now covid restrictions are relaxing. Looking at how to further set up areas. 
  • Using picture cards to help explain the activity to children. 
  • Child led learning within the classroom.
  • Not every area needs to be enhanced.

I have familiarised myself with these case studies which discuss different areas of the curriculum and how other teachers are talking about children in their class and how they are meeting the objectives. I found this very useful listening to how others were tracking children and how they were adapting to meet the new curriculum. The videos were great to see how provision is set up and being used in other schools and what kind of activities they were doing to meet the objectives. 
Idea for next year - tens frame morning register names.  ]]> 2022-04-18 15:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/2147164502 Year 1 PD - Mastery larrowsmith_wis https://padlet.com/larrowsmith_wis/oh7a0tanhnmogcr2/wish/2159974337   Lead a PD on Mastery in Maths - Worked with one the year 1 teachers Arsala who has completed training in Singapore Maths - Maths, No problem!
