What should I add to the paint to make it really think and gloopy?

HI, I'm a FSU co-ordinator in a primary school and I'm about to do Performance management interview with ny NNEB and was wondering if anyone out there has a good format to use for this. I'm trying to devise one that is more user friendly than the one used by the rest of our staff. This is the first interview I've done on someone else so would be grateful for any tips! Also I'm trying to find out how much PPA this NNEB would be entitled to per week if any. I have given her a generous amount of time whilst she was writing reports but feel it should be cut back to a more realsitic amount for her to keep her obs and record file up to date. She is keen to take responsibility …

Have got to draw up action plan for next year for Reception class. Obviously implementing the EYFS will be the biggy, but just wonder if anyone has any other ideas for things to include, how you've broken this up into smaller parts or any ideas of what you've done. Bit last minute I know, but I have been hoping to get some time to do this and now I'm running out of time Harricroft

Children Self Assessing Any Ideas?
by Guest- 5 replies
- 6.1k views
I work in a primary school and I am getting pressure from above to show how the children are self assessing during their child initiated activities! We currently use a traffic light system with smily faces when the children are working with an adult, we discuss what the children think about their learning and then decide together which face and colour they are going to draw on either their work or on the adults comments sheet. Is anyone else having this problem or got any solutions?

Hi, we are thinking of asking parents into our Reception classroom for first 10/15 mins of the day in September to help children write their names or other activity. What do other settings do? Is it a problem? Not got a lot of support from HT so any positives would be good. Thanks

I am looking to purchase one of the Val Sabin Action Kids publications to use for help in planning P.E. for my Nursery classes. I know these have been recommended hightly on this forum and by other schools that I know. I have looked on her website, and although there are sample sessions for Action Kids 500 and Action Kids 600, I'm still unsure what the difference is between the two. Action Kids 600 is almost three times the price, and would be quite a large proportion of our budget. I'd like to know if anyone uses either of these publications (or both), which one you would recommend? What are the specific differences? Thanks, Jackie
