Timetable

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I'm new to the site... and teaching actually... and need some advice. You sound like a really helpful lot so I thought you might be able to shed some light

 

My school is a Catholic school and maintains that my reception class needs to go to assembly.. all 4 of them a week. I've broached the subject a couple of times but my suggestions have fallen on stony ground.

 

Anyway, to the point, we are re-writing our timetables and I am trying desperately to fit some teaching around the vast amount of time spent in assembly.... has anyone got an example of a manageable timetable where you can fit everything in? Really need some help here!!

 

Thanks in advance (pleadingly) Lynn x

Hi Lynn,

Welcome in, I'm glad you found us and think we're approachable. I'm not sure how much help I can give you on this one though.

I think if you are a Catholic school, then probably you will have to put up with this and make it work for you in other ways.

 

1 positive is that your act of worship is taken care of.

Think of it as aiding transition and you've some PSE in there too!

 

Try to do something reasonably active before and after these Assemblies and your children will probably cope quite well. What time of day are they. Can you go outside immediately afterwards.

I have just had 2 assemblies impossed on me which I don't like at all. So do understand and am slowly working at adjusting the day around them.
