Hello everyone! Just wondered if anyone could enlighten me. We are going to have a partitioning wall taken down over the summer to make one big reception classroom - which will be great! But I wondered how we can get new furniture and storage too - for September for our new intake. Can these things come out of part of the budget for 'buildings' or something, so I can ask the head whether it is possible or not? Just wondered. Thanks Viki (Here's to a new classroom....!!)

Has anyone done anything like this or have any suggestions of the sorts of activities that we could do so that it is a great time for the children and grandparents alike??? Yours in eager anticipation M xxxx

Morning all I am feeling a bit disillusioned today - yesterday i spent most of the day trying to sort out our timetable and it left me asking myself - 'my god what are we doing' We have 44 children 2 teachers and 1 nursery nurse we operate as 1 class. Our day seems to be very rushed i am forever going home felling like i have rushed through the day and have not given children enough quality time. Our routine at the moment consists of 6 focuses through the week. Each week i do the literacy, KUOW focus. The other teacher does numeracy and physical focus. The nursery nurse does the PSE and creative focus. We have 3 sessions set aside each week in the hall wh…
