We've been told that we have to specify 'basic skills' on our timetables and I was wondering who else is doing this? To me pretty much everything we do is basic skills, but I think what they are after is just literacy or numeracy (the fact that the children cant toilet or feed themselves when they start seems to not matter as long as they can read). So for example our daily phonics session would be basic skills so I cant help but think that the whole of our timetable will just then say basic skills. How are others managing this one and if you are having explicit separate sessions called basic skills what exactly are doing in them? Thanks..

Just wanted to share this idea with everyone. I sent for a 'Bag Garden Kit' and its wonderful!! Lovely for this time of year and you can choose from three different types of seed groups to grow. Its ideal for promoting cultural awareness as well as encouragiong the children to grow their own flowers and veg. Just e-mail www.sendacow.org.uk and pay £10.00 per sack. Its a bargain!! Have fun.

Never Felt So Low About Teaching
by Guest- 21 replies

This is my 8th year of teaching - most of which year 1 and year 2. The last two years have been reception. I have been feeling like this for a while. For me all the obsession with observations collecting evidence has taken the joy out of teaching that I once had. I have constantly doubted my way of doing things in reception, which I didn't have in year one and two. I never had to do all this observation and collecting evidence in the past. You might say why not go back to year 1 or year 2, but my school is a one form entry. I love my class and the things we do, but the assessment procedures have really taken its toll on me. I really don't think I have done my assessments…
