Strategies To Aid Chn's Concentration

Hi everyone As some of you will know, we received an inadequate result in our nursery education a few months ago and are busy in the process of getting things back on track One issue that we have found is that we seem to be having a problem with the length of time that the children are able to concentrate for. Due to the children being able to roam freely around the workshops, not receiving a great deal of adult interaction or direction, they were literally just flitting from one thing to another, never seeing an activity through to the end. On a temporary basis we have started to split our sessions into 20 minute intervals where the children decide at the beginning of the session which workshops they will be visiting for that day. This is all recorded on a chart (the children do this themselves using laminated picture cards). We had hoped that this would make the children more focused whilst in an area rather than just running around the room. This has worked to a certain extent and they are very happy to stay in a particular area for the allocated time, although we are not convinced that they are achieving as much as is possible. We still really struggle with circle time, whole group activities and garden time ( we are not free flow yet ) We currently have 16 children in the preschool, 10 of these will be leaving for school in August, but our numbers will rise to 24 in July, the younger children seem to copy the older children and we are very worried about having 24 children running round like headless chickens all day! We are also aware that we should not be limiting where the children would like to go and hope that eventually the children will be able to go back to complete free flow around the room. If anyone has any ideas on how we can encourage the children to become more focused and to expand their concentration time, i would be very grateful.
