Hi, I have just taken on the role of FS leader and have interviews coming up for an additional LSA. Just wondering what sorts of questions I should ask them? Looking at their application forms/letters they have varied experiences and some have very little Early Years experience. I am also thinking of asking them to do a short task such as reading a story or something similar. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks in advance

This may be a bit of a stupid question so please forgive me. Having seen lots of mentions of schemas on here I've done a little bit of reading about them and think I understand what they are. What I was wondering though was whether they are something that applies principally to pre-school aged children or whether it's relevant to reception age too. I'm asking because it interests me but at the moment there are so many things that I feel I need to do to improve my practice I'm trying to prioritise a little. Is it something I should be doing more research into given that I have a reception/Y1 class? My apologies if the answer to this is so obvious I should have f…

I am doing something 'radical' this year and I am not setting up an area for PSRN. For many years I have set up an area of the classroom devoted to PSRN and spent hours trying to entice children in there, as it is not something that they have experience of or see adults doing at home. Maths is one of those things that infiltrates all other play and children often do it without being told to, or without having to go to a specific area of the classroom. So...this year I have no area for PRSN, instead I have all resources in different areas of the classroom with PSRN enhancement baskets to add to their current play. What are other people doing? And do you find similar i…

Supply Teaching In Cheshire
by Guest- 6 replies

Not really sure where to put this, but I'm looking for good supply teaching agencies to sign up with in Cheshire and was wondering if anyone could recommend any. I have no experience of the area so have no idea which are the best to go with. As for why I'm on supply again after years actually teaching my own class, that's a long and rather bittersweet story which I won't go into right now. Any help would be appreciated though!

This has already resulted me to tears twice so any help would be greatly appreciated??? Tinky

Coming Into School

I have an issue that I'm hoping somebody can offer advice about. In the new school year I have a little boy starting who has already shown his severe reluctance to come into my Reception setting - or any early years setting in fact! As part of our new intake transition we invite the children to reading sessions (20 mins 3 times a year) where a few reception children and a few rising 5s mix together to enjoy a story in the reception setting - this little boy's mother chose not to include him in these. We also have a half day session where the children come to the reception setting to spend time getting to know it and the staff - when the boy in question came to this h…
