Someone gave me some good advice recently and it’s really stuck with me so thought I’d share it with you all ...
‘Never listen to criticism from someone you wouldn’t turn to for wisdom’

I’m not sure of the logistics but a thought provoking idea from today’s course…
SLT are often called to remove a child who may be struggling in class.
What if SLT was called to cover the class so the teacher could build a positive relationship and investigate the behaviour?

Controversial, but next year I intend on having a ‘Tuff tray’ area in my Year 3 classroom… 🧮
These children missed much of EYFS and exploratory play so why not encourage hands on learning, social skills, creativity and language development?

Nothing new or revolutionary but last week we introduced a ‘quiet’ playground and an ‘activity’ playground so children can make the choice where they spend their playtime.
It’s important to recognise that some children can’t cope with/ don’t want the hustle and bustle.
