Hi there, We have got observations the first week back after half term and our head is wanting to focus on 'investigations'. Obviously in Early Years that involves exploration too. Has anybody got any good ideas on what I could do? My excuse for lack of inspiration is because I ran a marathon at the weekend!!! My topic is either Night and Day or Shoes and Slippers Thanks! Nomie

I feel like I'm always asking questions here, but I really want to get things right for the children in my class and everyone here has such useful advice! I'm sitting here thinking about my literacy planning for next term (I'm in year one). I have about six children who can't write at all and don't really know their letters.

Hi, I recently went on a course which was fab! It highlighted a new piece of equipment called 'Fingertips'. It is basically a hand held mobile phone or palm device that you use to take photos, record evidence, take video clips etc... and it records all the assessment data for each child, using each of the six areas etc... This would mean no post it notes and much less time used on recording the evidence needed for each child. It looks fab and sounds great. My head seems keen too. I was just wondering if anyone actually has it and is using it in school and if it works! It's quite expensive to purchase, so I thought I'd see what others thought about it. Lizzi…
