Challenge For Parents - Any Ideas?

Hi everyone! I've got the annual parent's meeting this week for the new intake of reception children. Last years format was quite formal - a powerpoint and talk. The parent's also had a chance to look round all the areas in the classroom although not many chose to do this. I was hoping this year to make the meeting more relaxed and informal. I've got a few video clips of children demonstrating CI learning but I was hoping to make the session more interactive - getting the parent's to see how being the leader of their learning is so beneficial and also showing them how to support their child at home. However I have no idea how to do this? I was thinking about sett…

Effective Planning

Hi I just wanted some feedback on my planning which yet again I am evaluating ready for next year and making small changes to improve my practise. This year my planning I have found is too structured, so much so that I have no time to sit with the children in the continuous provision as I was either doing reading, phonics, guided writing or guided reading. I also had a CLL and PSRN input everyday followed by one group guided writing or working in a small group with me whilst the rest access CI. Now this does work but is very fast paced and during playtimes I was finding I had not enough time to prepare for my next carpet time e.g. for psrn. After reading through…

Gender

Hi, I have finally decided on my topic for my dissertation: How gender is manifested through play of young children in Early Years. I am just wondering if any of you have any thoughts on this issue? Do you find that children play in same sex groups?, Choose 'stereotypical' games - ie girls dolls, boys cars etc? Any comments would be gratefully received! Also if anyone knows of any good source of literature on the topic it would be most useful! Thank you Nat

Not big furniture type items; but cutlery, crockery, dolls. Do you put out everyhting you have? Do you have a specific number of pans/plates/cups? Particularly --- how many dolls do you have out a time? Do you also have a phone, a calculator, a diary, etc etc I feel that ours is 'over stocked' and it is hindering the play but just wanted some other points of view. Thank you.

Hi everyone! Just wondered if I could pick your fantastic brains! I have an interview on tuesday for a nursery teacher position and as part of the interview I will be observed doing an activity of my choice with a group of 8 children. I currently teach in a pre~school but my mind has gone blank! If anyone has done some great/successful activities and would like to share it would be much appreciated! I'm really nervous! I did think about doing a music related activity where the children take turns to pick an instrument, name it and play it?? Thank you
