How often do you do your Keyworker groups. Staff want to do them every day so some would have group time with their children on a daily basis and therefor have five focus observation every week. This seems rather a lot and very rigid - they will add up with a lot of observations. Any thoughts smiles

Hello everyone! I hope you're all settling in ok! I just wanted to ask what you are doing for literacy at the moment - we haven't started with letters and sounds yet, think we are going to introduce s and a this week. I have forgotten what I should be doing for whole class literacy sessions this time of year. I know last year we rushed into focus group activities too quickly and it went horribly wrong...and I've misplaced my memory sticks...! Also, my FS coordinator who is also the nursery teacher taught my children last year and introduced each letter of the alphabet and each sound with each jingle. There are a few of children that have grasped the concept of the so…

Discussion on day time TV today about Ed Balls considering doing away with Sats, replacing with a test when teacher thinks the individual child is ready for assessments at any particular level. Only Britain, in the UK, have SATs tests, majority of callers to the show think they are not useful. I wonder, if they are replaced, whether they will bring in and expand the Single Level Tests for all primary/Junior children (see attachment). I'm not sure I like the length of these single level tests, or the fact that there may be 2 per year, that's if I have read it right. (obviously shorter times for younger children I would hope) I wonder why they need tests at all, sc…
