I have a group of children who are still not forming any letters when they write. The majority of my children are now forming letters and beginning to write in sentences. However i have a group who can tell me wht they want to write but then ust make marks. They have letter cards to use to remind them what the letters look like however wew still just get a page of scribble and they are unable to tell me waht they have 'written'. Do you think i should write for them and they copy or trace? Any ideas would be very welcome!!! Lola

HI there folk.. we are hoping to hold our first ever 'graduation' ceromany at the end of term (I'm sure I got the idea from here!!). We are going to make mortar boards and give the children their 'degree' (laminated certificate with a photo of 'graduate') and a bit about why they are so special. We will have a special assembly for them with the head and invite parents etc and have tea coffee too. A friend suggested inviting their new teachers and support staff to pop in as another way of getting to know them. Anybody done this before? and if so is there anything else tha you find really works? cheers all

Hi there, just finishing my first year in reception. The topics we have had to use this year haven't always been inspiring and looking to change for next year. Do most of you run short topics over a couple of weeks or are you doing a topic for longer, ??? Love to have an idea what other schools do. Thanks, Catriona
