Does anyone have any advice for dealing with a child who is afraid of leaving the classroom and in particular going to the hall. The child is in a reception class. He started at the begining of september along with the other children, he settled well and is happy in the classroom. However, he cries and gets upset when we go to the hall we go three times a week for p.e dance and drama. I have suggested that mum takes him to the hall snd reassure him but he is still getting upset. Any advice is greatly appriciated thank you.

Somerset Curriculum

I have been reading the threads about skills based curriculums with great interest, as I am hoping to change to this way of planning in September. There has been lots of mention of a Somerset key skills curriculum and I have tried to find it through google etc but with no luck. I was wondering if anyone had a link or more information about it Thanks.
