Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hi, First posting - new member! I am a class teacher in charge of a FSU with currently 10 Reception (full time) and 15 nursery (am/pm) with 2 staff (Our numbers change every year and we ususally adapt planning as necessary) We have been running the unit for 3 years and we've never been really happy with our planning and structure of the day. Although our numbers are not big we seem to struggle only having 2 staff, to do everything we need to do. any examples of planning or words of wisdom would gratefully received. vicky

belle06 Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hi Can not help with your questions but welcome from me as well
Marion Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hi Vicky and welcome to the forum Our unit has been running for three years too and our planning has changed and been adapted time after time. We have found what works well in one set of circumstances doesn't work well when something changes (more children fewer adults for example) I would suggest giving Nora Waugh a ring and asking for some ideas she may even offer some free in school support.
Susan Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Hi Vicky and welcome. Sounds like a good idea of Marion's? Hope you get sorted to your satisfaction soon. h
Guest Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Hi Vicky don't have any words of wisdom to share as we have only been running as a FSU for the two weeks since school reopened for the autumn term. However I can say that we have already reviewed and tweaked our routines several times. I did find it very helpful to read through all the topics/postings in the FSU forum before we started and gained lots of advice & ideas which have been invaluable in getting us started. I look forward to following this post to see if you receive any further replys. nsunshine
Guest Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Thanks to everyone who has replied. Marion - we've had support from norah and team, but with changes / expectations etc maybe need to get in touch again. We'll keep plodding on. Vicky
