Hi all Hope you've had a good half term. It's been a mad week and it's only wednesday! To cut a long story short I've been put forward to be considered as a Leading Found Stage Teacher. A woman phoned me today to say that she's coming at the end of next week to observe my teaching, look through my plans, assessments etc and 'interview' me afterwards. Now I'm thinking 'Oh ****!!!' Anyone got any idea of what she might ask, or what she might be looking for, what should I 'teach' for her observation? Am in a blind panic now!! Anyone had anything similar? Would massively appreciate your suggestions/advice. feeling a bout of alcoholism coming on! thanx in…

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a bank of descriptive language to model for Reception children. We are doing a whole school target ativity to promote the use of descriptive language in our children. We started off yesterday by getting the children to describe 'their' giant from Jack and the Beanstalk. They really struggled, and so did I!!! All they really suggested was boggies and slime, whereas the class next door came out with octopus legs hair, banana mouth, traffic light eyes, cherry tomato nose... what went wrong with my class??? Could anybody help me with how they promote descriptive language please? Or if you know where to l…

Hi, I am trying to gather ideas together for my next topic which is Summer. I haven't used this as a theme before (this is my NQT year!). I am struggling to find any specific story books to use as a focus. I have planned to include some activities about holidays and a little focus on water, but that is as far as I have got! Does anybody have any activities or plans they could share with me? Any ideas would be very helpful! Thanks, Scalliesal

Lots of new paperwork and we are about to open in a week and we need to sort filing and paperwork.... be we both asked the question do we have to keep the old paperwork such as planning, policies, procedures etc. We are aware we need to keep the confidential stuff such as accidents, incidents etc. We are not sure and we don't want to get rid off if we need to file for so long however, we want ot get rid off so that we can start afresh! a new beginning.. any thoughts or answer would be gratefully received....
