We currently use the Target Tracker system of recording at school in our reception classes and have heard about the "Pocket PC" which takes photos, can be written on, takes sound clips etc and can then be plugged into computer so that its all inputted onto target tacker... wondered if anyone is using them and if they are as great as they sound?! I'm sure I have seen this mentioned on here already but I can't seem to find the discussion!

Hi all, I have a class of 30. 20 being YR and 10 Y1 i am getting really fustrated with my self usually I would start the day with a shared class input then differentiate a literacy activity in 3 ways so that a ta each has a group. at 9:45 we have child intiated. After play we do a maths activity in same way. Then in the afternoon we have phonics and a rotation topic work activites and child intiated. But a ast teacher from another school has suggested doing roational activites with all topics in the morning but i am not sure if they need to be literacy based linked to objective or just various activites. Does anyone else do this zoning? Please help me

Hi All. Does anyone know what the expectations from OFSTED are regarding child-initiated/ structured play activities linking to topic. Do all activities need to link? The Inspector we had (not EYs experienced we understand!) seemed to suggest that we should have more activities linked. We had approx 50+%. But find some topics easier than others. Would like to hears the views of those more experienced with Ofsted.
