We are a Montessori Day Nursery and find it very difficult to please the local early years team and stay true to Montessori. We are happy to be flexable and are not strict Montessori, encompassing all that is good in Early Years education but we do have trouble with planning forms. The planning we do now does not really do justice to the fact that the children have free choice from the prepared environment, they are learning so much continuously from activities both Montessori and non-Montessori but we cannot put down on our planning for instance, threading because if the children want to do threading it is there for them to choose if they don't, they don't!! It is diffic…

Planning For 2-5s

I KNOW this subject has been discussed countless times before but am wondering whether anyone has come up with anything new recently - does anyone have a long/medium/short term planning format for a 2-5s room, encompassing B23 and Foundation Stage guidance and enabling the staff that work in that room to plan as a team rather than splitting themselves into 2-3s and 3-5s and refusing to have anything to do with the "other" age group?! I need something that will encourage much greater teamwork and shared responsibility for planning, observations, assessments, record keeping, etc. I should add that although I fully support the settings who are making the brave switc…

Please could those of you that use keyworker group time, tell me how it works. How do you identify the children for your group? Do they sometimes change? How often do you have your group time? Who leads it? What are the rest of the children doing at this time? I would also be very interested in hearing any other bits of information too - thanks.

I need your help! My head teacher want each class to map the pupil levels in their class. A grid has been made for the rest of the school but this does not lend itself for use in the Nursery. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can draw up a table to show where pupils are that is not too complicated? Or does anyone have an example of something similar? Really appreciate your help, comments. Seem to have work coming out of my ears at the moment! Thanks

Have Kept Quiet Since...

...our visit by the Ofsted inspection team, but the letter went out to parents yesterday to tell them that we got a 1 in everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An outstanding school. I was at the debriefing meeting, (the whole SLT was invited by the inspectors) and the chief inspector said "in Ofsted terms it doesn't get any better". Obviously all the hard work has to continue but I'm so pleased for everyone in the school, we're a great team. The downside is that we've already been told that we'll be getting lots of visitors coming round now and that our Head will get headhunted, and she's brilliant to work for. At last I could officially tell you lot!

Does anyone have a plan to share how they incorporate SEAL with their already established PSHE scheme eg still doing health and hygiene, drugs and medicine. We still need to cover these because of our commitment to the Healthy Schools Programme. Obviously this question is meant for colleagues in Primary schools.

I have a boy at school who has a lot of difficulties to read. He is the only one who still doesn't know all the basic letter sounds (consononants, short vowel sounds, sh-ch) and he needs one to one help to read simple sentences to work out bending. The thing is that he is the one who fears less when challenged to write about his drawings. He might not use all the letters, yet he tries his best and makes good attempts. He is the 2nd youngest in my Reception class (will become 5 next month). Then, I have other children who can read, even with fluency, but who are more 'insecure' at the hour of writing. Why does this happen?

Hi guys, I had my area manager in the pther week and she feels the planning could do with adapting. Our early years officer suggested adding a sheet which indicates the toys oor activities which we set up through out the week. I did think i could do this over the week end but my word programme will not allow me to merdge cells Does any one have an example of what they use for this weekly sheet. I would like to add the ss covered and birth to three covered at the top or botoom of the sheet. does any one else do this. does this make sense?
