Does anyone know where I could find some simple pictures of faces displaying different feelings (apart from our own good old smilies!)? I could draw some myself, but am not great at drawing, so would prefer some ready-made faces! Thank you!

Supervision Of Outdoor Area
by Guest- 14 replies

Hi, we have just had a new fenced off small outdoor play area built just outside our classroom. We have doors that lead out onto the area. We have a rota for staff to be out with the children during the day, however there are some times in the week where it's not possible to put staff out for sessions. Can we still use the area to have a few children play e.g. in the sand if we can stay near the door and see the children intermittently? and how do we stand legally with supervision?

Hope you can reassure me with this one...As a FSU based teacher and before when I had responsibility for Reception on their own, I have always used a variety of strategies for introducing sounds and words - jingles, sky writing, 'playing with sounds' document ideas (PIPs), Jolly Phonic actions as well as the usual flash cards.

It is working extremely well and even when t…

I have been asked to contribute to school's SEF. Keen to find out how filling it in has been organised in other schools.

I always find this sort of thing a bit mind boggling Thanks AOB
