Display Idea
by Guest- 6 replies

I promise this will be my last new topic today!! I have found a really good website for illustrations People who help us. Its www.itscotland.org.uk/earlyyears/resources/illustrations/people/index.asp. I used them in an interactive display where each character had a specific tool. The children then had to stick the appropriate tool to the character. It worked very well last year, so Im doing it again. One question: Does anybody have any ideas on how to do a display that either represents what the children want to be when they grow up OR what they have learnt about different jobs. xx

Focus Children

Hi Have been reading the info on focusing on 3 children a week with interest. I first found out about the idea when ploughing through the eyfs CD. This recommended having 3 focus children 1 week, then use this info for planning in week 2 and the review week 3. During week 2 you would then focus on another 3 children and so on, is this how others would interpret it? It sounds the right way to go but what about making sure you have covered the developmental matters/stepping stones? What about Long term plans etc? And how about convincing the SMT? What if you have 2 sessions, do you do 3 children each session per week , which will mean 2 lots of plans? I know too many quest…
