@MrsHarveyYear1 Thank you! That's similar to how I am using it too. We're in it each afternoon at the moment as well as after maths input but my cohort definitely need it. I'm also aiming to slowly reduce as the year goes on.
@MissK998 Thank you! I'll send you mine later in the week. I've got a few ideas after reading @ABCDoes book about transition into year 1 but nothing on paper yet.
I made this sign before I started my NQT job, put it up in my classroom and never really thought much more of it...
On the last day of summer, a parent told me that her daughter referred to it regularly at home saying that it made her smile (1)
I've had such a fantastic 4 weeks of totally switching off from school and recharging my batteries. I've visited lots of friends, been on holiday and spent time with family. I now feel rested and ready to get my classroom prepared for my new Year 1/2 class. π
@MrsHarveyYear1 Last year my completion date was the first day back at school. I cried to the estate agent when she said it couldn't be any sooner... π
It all worked out in the end and so will all your things!
I've just read 'Effective Transition Into Year One' by @ABCDoes and found it really inspiring with useful tips to set up my first year 1 classroom.
Does anyone have any other CPD reads with top tips for a successful transition into year 1?
A rainy Saturday with no plans well spent.
Decided where I want my new reading area in my new classroom and spent the day transforming it.π
Some beanbags and cushions to make it cosy and one section of the room will be complete. ππΌ
