For users of Tapestry - We are hoping to be purchasing Tapestry over the summer holidays, but would like to get some feedback from settings first. How would you rate it? (poor 1 - 5 excellent) 1. Time management - has it saved you & your staff time, is it efficient? 2. Easily accessable/usable - uplaoding photo's, adding info & assesments? 3. How easy is it to link to EYFS? 4. Making termly assesments/cohorts? - is this automatically generated from the information put in by the key person or is this a seperate task? 5. If your setting is using tablet's (as this is the route we would take), do you have any recommendations (other than i-pad's)...budget's!…

we have all done our progress summaries for our groups and it has taken me 6 hours to correct one seye's summaries, as not in sentences, chopping and changing topic in middle of sentence etc. and targets put with things already achieved and mentioned as having been in the summary. etc. other seye hand writes hers, and as errors in 3 of them head wanted them re-written. she was not too happy, but as she can barely use a computer i guess that's the only thing for it. do others have the same issues? it's so hard as first seye was the one really pushing to do them when i mentioned it last summer. beginning to regret doing them now!! but hard to stop when parents are n…

Hi, I have an interview for a nursery teacher job Friday. I have just finished my pgce and have not done any nursery on placement. I used to work in a nursery years ago and really feel this job would suit me. I have to teach 22 preschoolers for 15 to show I can keep them engaged and motivated, any topic. I think because its any topic, my mind is darting over loads of things and I am struggling to find a focus. Do you great people have any ideas for a lesson for a big group like this, 15 minutes isn't long. I am assuming they want them all kept together in a circle time type scenario. Any great ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi all I have been looking at our learning journey's (as one of my other threads shows) but now thinking after chatting with the reception teachers and having a look at what county recommends, I may not do summary sheets at the end of each term and save this as a report like document at the end of the year, which is what the schools do. Obviously we will make clear links to learning as it happens across the term and compile next steps so there will be evidence of progress, but we will be function more like the schools do and the work load maybe more realistic. just wondered what others thought or if anyone functions like this and if it works in pre-school environ…
