Can any one advise me as to what the adult:child ratio is when taking children aged 3 and 4 years out of school. We have a trip to the farm planned and I was told that the ratio will be 1:5! I am not happy with this I think it's too many children to supervise in a public place and I think it's unfair of us to ask parents to look after this many children. I don't feel confident that I will be able to keep all five children close and safe. I'm really worried about the trip some of the children are first termers and haven't been in nursery long they are quite young and don't yet understand things like saftey and not running off. I really enjoy taking children out b…

We are visiting the farm on our school trip soon and I was wondering if you give your children a task to do when there? This will be my first ever school trip as I'm an NQT so I'm feeling a little nervous. Our topic is journeys but I wanted to do some work on animals and their babies and the products animals give. Any ideas?

Sometime ago some kind people attached the visual literacy targets on this site. Does anyone have any numeracy ones or know where I can find some? I have been using the literacy ones to share success criteria with the children and they have been great, I now want to start using them in Numeracy. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, cant believe its class assembly time AGAIN. Our topic last half term was journeys so I wanted to use this theme for our class assembly. My only idea so far is to get the children to re-tell 'We're going on a bear hunt'. Does anyone have any inspired thoughts/suggestions?

hi, as I have mentioned on other posts I am still training on a GTP but qualify in a couple of weeks (hopefully) and I have already been offered the job to work in reception/ year 1 class in september. Basically as it is now is horrible. We vaguely do Foundation Stage and base planning on the FS curriculum but our classroom is not set up for it at all (no areas etc). We have only in the last month or so set up observations and a folder to document the childrens learning bacause I did this off my own back once I realised how important it was to be doing!! So basically my question is what advice would you all give me for starting a FS unit from scratch. I want to set up…

Links Between Kuw And Ks1 Science

Hi, Im currently doing the GTP hoping to qualify in a couple of weeks and one of the requirements is to have a subject specialiam and develop a file documenting this. My subject specialism is science and being based in FS i have focused on KUW. I have recently begun to look at the transition into KS1 and what is covered in this curriculum in science. I will also have to teach science to pupils in KS1 and KS2 next year. Was just wondering if there was something that documented the links between FS KUW and KS1 science, or whether anyone had done that themselves? Any help would be very much appreciated. thanks jo
