   Hi Just a quick question Does anyone get time out of their room to do paperwork? If yes, how long do you get.

   hi Our Reception children are busy painting easter cards at the moment and we're noticing that they are struggling to paint from observation - they don't seem to be able to position things on paper e.g. if painting flowers, they can't see that the heads are at the top of the stems - we're putting real objects in front of them and demonstrating etc. I'm just having a bit of a think about the new framework and creativity - do you think teaching them to draw and paint from observation is stifling their creativity? Before i launch into a big teach on it all I just thought I'd seek other people's opinions? My gut feeling is they can only apply skills after they've been init…

   How Many Assessed Focussed Activities?

   As above - just wondering how many assessed focussed activities other Nursery teachers do each day? At the moment one adult does a focus activity whilst the other keeps their 'head up' (only 2 members of staff). One new focus each day and we try to get all children to take part in activity. Not sure if it really works or would it be better to have one focus a week with a different group each day or just lessen the focussed activities each week. One inside one outside?? Arghhh don't know need some advice!! xx
