We are still quite formal in our school, and as a reception teacher I am very keen to change that. How does everyone else organise their day? We have got to get outside too of course, but we are quite a small unit and lack the 'manpower' to be outside everyday.

Hi there everyone, just a quick question really - I hope someone can help. After a recent visit from our early years advisor, I have changed my organisation and planning so that I have 1 focused activity and 1 related independent activity which are set out on separate tables e.g. a literacy focused and a literacy independent activity for morning session. (I had 3 related independent activities before!) I make sure that all groups do both activities.

What tune do people use to sing the alphabet? I have used 'Twinkle, Twinkle' previously but dislike the way that 'l, m, n, o, p' gets all squashed together!

Outdoor Provision

Just intersted to know how others staff outdoor provision. From September we would like to set up a free flow system with children being able to chhose between the two. Our early years advisor has previously said that there should always be an adult working with the children outside, but we have found that sometimes we can prohibit the children's play. Our head says there is no reason why an adult should be outside as we have a good view (lots of windows and glass doors). We thought we may have an adult working outside for first few weeks to establish safe practice and handling conflicts and then maybe allow the children to play independently choosing from activites for e…
