Chatting On The Carpet
by Guest- 4 replies
- 1.1k views
Hi everyone, I'm just looking for advice really, I am an NQT in Reception and although I am really enjoying it I know it is important to crack down on behaviour straight away and chatting on the carpet is a big issue for this class. Almost a third of the class have no English whatsoever so I don't blame them that they are completely uninterested but its starting to make things difficult. I have tried really visual things, attention grabbing songs etc but I manage to get their attention and then 2 minutes later we are back to little 2/3 person conversations in their home languages. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all Next week my children will be starting school in reception, for half a day. Just wondering if anybody has any ideas for what i can put on my tables. My school has fairly low supplies of resources, and so need to think about some creative aqctivities. So far I am doing playdough with cake cases and candels, where children have to count amounts correctly and also to encourage one more and one less. On another table I was thinking about putting various collage shapes to make pictures, on another I will have mirrors to encourage children to draw pictures of themselves, on the floor consstruction, on the mark making area- house shapesd paper, and access to various r…

My first topic is Rights and Responsibilities, I have adapted it for my mixed foundation/year 1 class to be 'All about me'.

Rewards, Sanctions And Timeout 1 2

I would appreciate some simple ideas I can whip up quickly between now and Monday for timeout and chances. I was thinking of a timeout mat, but depending on the severity of the misdemeanor, I normally like to give 3 chances then they're on the mat. E.g. Hitting, biting etc etc would be instant timeout, whereas not listening, sharing, using equip properly would be 3 warnings then time out. Any ideas for a visual chance chart would be appreciated. Perhaps one where the child physically moves their name along something

Hi all . . . . Well it'snearly over and I am attempting to get back into work mode . . . So far it's not really gone of plan!!! I'm trying to get my head around the new eyfs & to determine what implications this will have on planning, routines etc - my only ( well I say only!!) problem is that I am moving to a new school in sept and as such do not have a thorough understanding of what is currently in place & as such do not really know where to start .....As such I am feeling very under prepared for the start of the new term . . . Which in turn is making me feel anxious and completely out of my depth ( even though I have been teaching for 17 years & have been i…
