I have been thinking alot about this over the last few weeks and now feel the need for someone elses view. With the likes of facebook, myspace now forming part of the average young persons social life I am starting to feel concerned about what type of information is shared on them. This follows a message I discovered written by a staff member of someone I know (fortunately not one of mine).

Hello, can anyone recommend suitable scissors for Reception and Year 1 children to cut material with? The usual classroom scissors do not cut fabric which is very frustrating for the children so we are on the look out for some blunt ended but sharp scissors for them to use. Any ideas please?

The idea being that we all use our development matters as our learning intentions and by linking them directly to the relevant profile points it will make our assessment process better.??? Some do of course directly link and it is really easy, others however don't link directly. Has anyone done this? Any opinions on this idea? Thanks

Hello everyone, Can anyone please please help.... We are a very new Reception team with 2 inexperienced teachers (one being myself) and 2 nursery nurses between 2 classes of 30 children. I just don't know how to work the key worker system. The only way i could see this working in Reception is to have 4 key worker groups in ability with 15 children in each group. Is this a way other people work their K W system? Anyone's opinions and ideas will be much appreciated Thank you
