Hi Everyone, I have an interview next week and have been given the task of working with 4 reception children on a group activity for 20 minutes with the topic minibeasts. They have specified that the children are working towards ELG: KUW4 Investigates places, objects, materials and living things by using all the senses as appropriate Identifies some features and talks about the features w/he likes and dislikes KUW5Asks questions about why things happen and how things work, looks closely at similarities, differences, patterns and change So this needs to be the focus of the activity.

The HLTA who covers my PPA for 12 children in my nursery class joins up with the reception TA and 30 reception children to teach Sticky Kids (music and movement) in the hall. Is it safe practice to have 42 young children together in the hall with a HLTA and a TA? I know in Nursery it is 1:13 but not sure when all of Reception are mixed with Nursery if it is still the case. Should it be 3:39 as in Nursery? Thanks once again for all your responses. Sue x

We have free flow in and outdoors with CI learning happening for most of the session, minimal stops and starts during the session, rolling snack, and next steps planning for individual children from observations. In an ideal world I think it would work really well if the whole foundation stage were to work more…

Hi, I'm a new member and have seen some really good advice on here so hoping people may have some ideas to help me. I took over a Reception class at the end of January which has been quite tricky but I think i'm starting to get my head around it! However, I have a little girl who is really struggling with being separated from her parents. There are tears from the moment she arrives outside the school and they don't really stop all day. She does occasionally get involved in activities but then seems to realise she's having fun and gets upset. She is also terrified of not having a familiar adult around. I'm very worried about this, especially as she is getting herself t…

Hello, I have taken over the role of Litercay coordinator in our school and I am aware World Book day is looming. Has anyone gotcany great ideas of what they do at their school? I need to think of activities that would be suitable for the whole school and not just in the Early Years. Any suggestions would be great! I have tried to do a search but can't seem to come with any thing much so if anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
