    make sure someone takes minutes get everyone to introduce themselves (and what they want to be called) Call the Parents by their names (not mummy and daddy) I always ask the parents to tell us about their child first.(positives and difficulties) Then i go around the circle in an appropriate order (depending on what needs to be discussed) Have a list of things you need to cover (or write an agenda) so this might be what is working now/what are we doing next? has everyone got therapy/meetings sessions organised ? how do you all keep in touch/what needs to be done first/next etc. don't be afraid to ask tricky questions (i have had a few difficult sessions with housing officers!!!) remember to keep the parents at the centre of what you are doing and that you are talking about their most precious child ...then you won't go wrong! xx (i have to say this is how i do it.....but i'm not normal! 😄)

    well we've been back for 4 days and we are closed ! Child tested positive on wednesday they had been in for the previous 2 days.....so now all 5 staff and 22 children are in isolation for 10 days ! 🙄

    coming from a family of dyslexics we have par carks, basghetti (spaghetti ) lemons (melons) and some interesting versions of more complex words...my MIL swears she does not have dyslexia but is for ever using malapropisms 😂
  7. AnonyMouse_30128

    I have thought about this in the past too...you can of course delete the comment but sometimes that's a bit time consuming🙄

    This is a great account of older children and reading but maybe if these children hadn't been forced to read the most appalling and boring reading schemes as youngsters they wouldn't have been turned off reading in the first place! (i am not suggesting this teacher did this ...i am just moaning about the system!) My boys at Pre-School are the first on the sofa 'reading'. I often have a dozen of them giggling at what they have found enjoying their time together. I rarely have boys who won't engage in story telling or storytimes. If they are so engaged at this age something must be going wrong when they get to early years in school? As a parent of a child with dyslexia i have witnessed a child who loved stories to screaming when the school reading books came out of the school bag. Maybe we need to change the system at an earlier stage to stop this hatred and reluctance emerging.

    EYA sent a load of stuff about this yesterday....seems it appears to be a mistake that we were included !😬
  13. AnonyMouse_30128
    Or if you want to go really bonkers a pet assembly ! 😅 scavenger hunts seem to work quite well or as cait says a story then learning ideas associated with that to cover the things they need to do. (the great pet sale is a particularly useful one ) Maybe think about what you need to teach them and what they need to learn and then the ideas might come from there?
  14. AnonyMouse_30128
    careful..you might be opening a can of worms ....you know what the lot on here are like about knitted items ! (balaclava's!)
  15. AnonyMouse_30128
    Amazing...could do with some of these when walking Finley! (cold here today) perhaps when retired you could start a froglet sock shop!
  16. AnonyMouse_30128
    pictures please we all need some motivation to get on with our own projects ...Sunnyday needs to practice her FOMO ! I agree about the supporting each other...some people seem to be giving us virtual cuddles and the other virtual stabs!😂 more cuddles but the grumpy ones seem to shout louder!
  17. AnonyMouse_30128
    I would agree we are EYA members but never really sure why now!
  18. AnonyMouse_30128
    well that makes me feel like i am useless !!! perhaps i can put up with stupid parents, seems minor in comparison !
  19. AnonyMouse_30128
    AMAZING ...woohoooooooooo!
  20. AnonyMouse_30128
    Mornings update...we have doubled our numbers !😂 It's low because we closed due to vulnerable staff (to which one of my parents asked if we had employed some new ones then!! she was being serious!) I suspect you are right about the union thing..not enough of us, maybe because you have to pay and we already work in a low paid industry?
  21. AnonyMouse_30128
    Im glad for you that they are not coming in. But i agree this isn't really helpful in terms of numbers and reporting, sadly i feel many parents will not force their children to have a test for fear that the children may not like it !😔
  22. AnonyMouse_30128
    well after our start with 2 we are now down to one for next week. I have invited the three from the next group in and they are not keen yet....so i have one little one with two staff for 2 and a half days next week!😱🤪 ....thinking long walks and cookery !!!! I'm finding everything strange ...i seem to be really busy but i don't know what with! and lots of angst all around me On another note has anyone found themselves thinking about joining a union ? I'm not a union sort of gal. but i really don't feel well represented at the moment

    Just wanted to add that i assume you are in a school from the way you have written this.I would suggest you talk to your SMT about it as it is obviously worrying you. I don't have any issues with children saying they love me, i usually respond with some like "and you are very lovely" or "well that's a lovely thing to say" . They don't need you to tell them that you love them back, they just need to know they are appreciated and their feelings are respected.
  24. AnonyMouse_30128
    I wonder if they have been on twitter....lots of threads going on about contacting people in person or by face time rather than by email. Making people feel valued and recreating connections.
  25. AnonyMouse_30128
    write a risk assessment. If you prove it's not safe for your team don't allow it. If you are a private business it is you who will be liable for any issues with your staff and children. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ! !
