LARKS CLASS Amazing resources to support continuous provision/discreet pre-phonics learning and developing the love of reading Larks class use a tuff tray to support their continuous provision, pre-phonics learning and the student's development of their love of reading. Each week a new tray is made which is accessible for all students. The trays are supported by a book and visuals. The visuals support students to make requests and comment · Construction tray - dyed rice, dried chickpeas, sand, rice Krispies, coco pops and raisins to create the landscape along with roads and a selection of vehicles. · Dinosaur world - ooblek [cornflour and water] mixed with food colouring to create a swamp area, trees/bushes and a selection of dinosaurs. · The Halloween edible tray was made up of jelly with sweet eyeballs and bones inside, tapioca balls, dyed spaghetti, crystallised orange and lemon peel, sprinkles and cobweb cake decor with rice paper spiders. All the food items were safe for all the students in class. · Pond tray – water with bubbles, lily pads, and a selection of frogs. · Interactive books and small and large symbols to encourage communication. Every time I visit Larks class students are engaged with and having fun with the tray. Well done, Larks!!
