Hubby away seeing his mum tonight and daughter going out so all my my own (well apart from the dogs and the cat!!!) . Local school has decided it might like to do Tapestry...am feeling conflicted by this! It will make life easier to transfer info but it's OUR thing!!! and i feel they are encroaching on everything we do at the moment, also i am fairly open about my thoughts on here...might have to reign it in a bit if they join Been a really busy week, three new very young starters (the youngest ones we take) i realise why we don't take any more when they are in the setting! We are definitely at the point of needing more hands on the floor in the mornings ...three high needs SEND and lots of EAL as well as the 2 year olds is taking it toll. I seem to have a group who are not toilet trained /have NO independence skills and can't make eye contact for toffee..is it just me or is this the trend for the year?
I did have a breakthrough moment today though where one of my tricky ones(!) had a melt down and we managed to work through it....she ended up saying sorry to me (unsolicited) ..it was VERY sweet ..nearly made me cry Good news is that this group seems to be in to their singing though which is fantastic ...nativity looming
