I have to plan my first ever assembly as a student teacher and it is to the whole school and parents! Our topic is ‘myself’ so I am planning to do it on that. Can anyone share their ideas on how they have done this – any songs, poems, rhymes you can suggest? Thank you!

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Love Tinyone

Indoor Sand/water Tray
by Guest- 21 replies

I have a huge sand and a huge water tray which remain outside year-round. They are sheltered from the rain, which is ok for the sand, but I rarely use the water tray in the winter, as it is just too cold. I am looking for a versatile (but exciting) sand/water tray to use in the classroom during the colder months and welcome any suggestions as I have not found anything that excites me yet! It can't be too big or expensive as space and money are limited!!! I am desperate to get my sand/water play up to scratch and welcome your advice! Thanks in advance!

After a lengthly discussion amongst our reception staff about the structure of the day we have decided that whilst our mornings have a good structure our afternoons often seem to be a bit wishy washy and I was just wondering what people find works best for them, any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hello I am a receptoin/year 1 teacher. I have recently changed my style of teaching for year one to include child intiated and continuos provision. However i find planning slightly difficult and i would like to plan in the same way for year one as i do for reception. Eventually i would like to create a document of year one objectives similar to the profile. I think this is going to take some time so i wondered if any one out there has done one yet to save some time. thanks

I was on a behaviour course last week and as we were talking about timeouts one fellow teacher said she used a big egg timer to measure the minute away from the class. I have been desperately trying to find one of these since, does anyone know where i could find one? I've tried ebay and they're generally small and are made of glass, also they're usually for 3 minutes which is to long. Please help! Cheers x

Has anyone got a typed list of the books that can be used as a reading record as I am about to type one out and it would save me lot's of time. I am sure ORT do one but we have only bought some of the materials and can't afford any more until the new financial year! Help please! Sue
