The Age Children Start Pre-school
by Guest- 20 replies

I work in a lovely small pre-school, we have 13 children each session. There is a 'bulge' of two and a half year olds at the moment- great for numbers but I feel there is such a broad gap between these littlies and the four year olds. I feel that I am not doing a good job by either age range. Does anyone else feel this way? I am a new member and already so impressed by the wise advise and helpful information I have already gained from you guys. Rosalind

Hi We are in the process of setting up a nurture group for our most needy children in year R. There will be between 8-10 children in the group and they will go to it f 4 sessions a week to help largely with social/ emotional development. It is going to be run by 2 teaching assistants, one of which is our SENCO. Is there anyone who has experience of such a group in their setting. If so how did it go, how did you run it, how did the children cope back in class? Any information would be really helpful about such groups. Hope to hear from someone soon Trudiex

Any ideas or advice please?

My KS1 Co-ord (also under role as Y2 Lit teacher) has been asked to write an action plan to improve wriitng in KS1 - particularly getting more Level 3s by the end of Y2. As the Y1 Lit teacher, I have some responsibility in implementing parts of the plan. At the moment we generally follow Jolly Phonics from FS thru, but have been covering Grammar 1 between Y1 & Y2 - do we need to invest in Grammar 2 and use that for Y2 and Grammar 1 for Y1? At the moment we plan throughout school using LCP files and the Primary National Strategy Literacy Planning CD-ROM. The spellings are taken from LCP - are we better off to follow Jolly Phonics suggested spellings? Are there …
