Just wondering if everyone has got their books to give out to reception children yet? I got my teachers pack (big book, teaching ideas, stickers, bookmarks etc) a couple of weeks ago. But no books for the children as yet. I'm hoping to have a week on dinosaurs next week for our 'Creative arts' week at school and was hoping they'd be here by now!

hi there, Just discovered I am getting a Polish child in my reception class. met her today. She is really sweet, seems sensible and happy. She speaks no english (she only arrived from Poland 2 days ago) Mum and dad speak nil english either. I had to use a dictionary to try to explain things and my acting is not that great! God knows how she will complete the entry form. I couldn't explain that she had to write her name etc. I think the husbands employer will help with that. i don't have a problem teaching the child (I am happy that she will learn english quickly, I have taught children with EAL (no english) before) I am just concerned as she wil…

Hello everone, I hope you are all having a good term so far! I wondered if you could please help me! I have knots in my stomach everyday, I'm finding it really hard to control my Reception children this term. They are wild! I'm worried that they are bored. I wanted to know what sort of independent activities you set up in the morning pleaseDo you leave these out all day? I'm finding time a real issue, do you spend hours setting up independent activities? Do you have a bank of ideas where you go to for ideas? Would you say the Featherstone Little Books are good resources for independent activities? I have got loads! How do you extend their play in the home corner?…

Dictionaries For Little People
by Guest- 4 replies

In Early Years I have always had Oxford Reading Tree Very First Dictionaries available in my book corner. Unfortunately my new school does not have them nor currently an alternative. I have tried to order some but have been told that they are out of print. Does anyone have any idea where I can get hold of some, or an alternative? They are lovely because each page contains 6 pictures and corresponding captions rather than being word heavy. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
