Separate Classes?
by Guest- 2 replies
- 1k views
Hello everyone. I LOVE this forum by the way. Anyway, at the moment my Nursery class (attached to a school) is becoming over subscribed. I need to think of a way to make it easier. The problem is that we have put two age groups together-rising 3s and 3-4s who will go into reception in September. Currently we are considering dividing up these two age groups into separate classes-however Im not sure what would happen in September-wouldnt they all be the same age?? Bit confused....Any ideas or what you have at your setings? xx

Hi all x We are full day care and have workshop areas set up which have lots of resources in them, we have most items which are listed on our continious provision sheet in these areas available to the children all the time.

Hi I am struggling with the child initiated and adult led activity balance in the EYFS and would really appreciate some help. We are a pre-school and currently run with free flow play from opening to tidying up time during the morning. My long term planning is evidence that all the activites offered in the session provide for each element of the EYFS. So basically the child initiated is in hand. I really struggle with the adult led. If children are playing and engrossed, adults interacting and scaffolding and supporting learning where does the adult led come in? Currently we plan an adult led. This week for example, from child interest, we have magnets, a scient…

Hiya,, Firstly thank you sooo much to all the people that have shown me the link to southamptons learning journeys. It has been an inspiration and I have made my own version, which my nursery has agreed with implamenting across the whole nursery (100+ places) so its very exciting! My question is that how can we incorperate the rods (don't know if this is the right term, i have little knowlegde of this). My manager has been saying its complusery (?) so i've been wondering how other people have adapted this to fit? any advice/help would be great! thanks

Do you set up your outdoor environment daily and do you have a written plan of what you will get out. If so is it under the 6 areas of learning or do you have workshop areas set up outside ? We are just about to get stuck into our outdoor area - it has been suggested by our EYAT that we purchase storage units and set up workshop areas like we have indoors-but we cant imagine how it would work setting up workshop areas with units full of resources - we just about cope indoor s let alone having al that outdoors as well! any comments ideas and suggestions would be fantastic thanks x
