Interesting Day

I have had such an interesting day today and thought I would share! Our LA had some surplus money which had to be spent before end of financial year so........... with just a couple of weeks notice they wrote to all pre-schools/nurseries and reception classes in our area to offer us the chance to spend a day in each others settings - with them paying for supply cover. We are situated in a very small village so really only feed one school so this was easy to 'set up'. In previous years the reception teacher has 'called in' for an hour or so - usually in June - just before the children go to her for 'taster sessions' - but this was the first time she had been able to spend a whole day with us. She was interested to see how we 'coped with' the demands of E.Y.F.S. and has decided now that she is probably not giving enough CI activities. She said 'oh but you haven't called anyone over to any activities' - but I was able to point out that actually every child had tried every activity but in their own time and on their own terms - she readily agreed that this was the case. She was thrilled to see that we still do a whole group story (max.12 children) - I wonder if Ofsted will have a problem with this size of group - well I will defend this - it works very well for us! She is a very nice lady and very experienced and we both enjoyed the chance to spend this amount of time together, she feels that she has been given a great opportunity to meet the children that will move on to Primary this year in a setting where they feel comfortable. Unfortunately we have two boys with some behavioural problems and they didn't show themselves in a very good light, but again she has seen how we deal with them and she has some idea of the issues that they have. I am spending the day in her class on Friday - can't wait! This post has rambled on a bit - hope I have bored you death!!! Sunnyday
