working with a child who is bright but extremely disorganised...struggling to find how best to record this in the learning journey. Child can manage self care, but has to be told again and again to do simple tasks like put on shoes, coat ets, and is always the last to start and complete any given task.

Good evening Just after your thoughts on a matter. Over my many years as a practitioner and SENco I have referred many children for various reasons. However I find every now and again the parent goes to their GP and whilst there comments that we've mentioned 'little Jonny may need some additional support' only to find the DR/ health vistor undermine us and reply with something like 'they're very young and seem fine to me....., nothing to worry about, no point come back when he's 5' etc. I'm finding it really hard to not say anything to them - they see the child for 5 mins listen to parents and say no the Pre school is wrong. It makes us loom stupid and…

Would you class battery operated torches as ICT? I have a peer observation this week and need to include ICT; however, the lesson is planned around 'talk time' - so is language based. I have taken the lesson idea from the 'communication cookbook' (word magic) and have decided to talk about candles. We have been looking at 'light' and silhouettes, generally, so I can make a connection between the candles and torches. I am really struggling to include ICT in my lesson. I realise that ICT is now included in 'technology' and have included the following in my lesson plan: Shows an interest in technological toys ... or real objects such as cameras or mobile phones. Sho…

We have been doing a snack in the morning and a snack in the afternoons and it does sometimes feel that the afternoon is all about feeding them when they only had lunch an hour and a half ago. It would be nicer to just offer a drink.. or a biscuit outside if that's allowed nowadays since we have such a healthy snack every morning and concentrate on great afternoon activities, especially as we have less children in after lunch. We were thinking we could let the children have longer for their lunch to ensure they aren't hungry but not sure if serving afternoon snack is an eyfs requirement or if any other pre-schools have thought about this?

Hi, just been looking at some paperwork from our SEN advisor and she is suggesting we should be doing provision mapping in our setting to ensure we meet the needs of all children at three levels (wave 1,2 & 3). I have no experience of this nor have i ever heard of this :wacko: . Can anyone offer me any guidance as to what i should be doing (sorry if i sound stupid :blink: !!)

Hi everyone, just need a bit of guidance regarding starting point information on entry to pre-school for me to complete with a parent. We currently do 'all about me' booklets which go into the front of a child's learning journey which parents complete about family, likes, dislikes, favourite foods, and any other information etc, but feel we need to have some sort of on entry questionnaire (for want of a better word) to complete (with a parent rather than getting them to take home, so we can discuss with them why we need to know).
