    Sorry I haven't been very active on here...lots going on as I've sold my house but our new house sale has fallen through...been a bit distracted. I can however now tell you we are officially outstanding ! (Since 2011!!) Its taken a while to get the reports through! Celebrations start next week.

    my beef with parents at the moment is sessions...we offer 5 mornings 5 afternoon or five full days...most pay nothing for this. We cannot afford to have empty sessions. Why then does everyone feel they can argue with this and get me to change the rules for them!????

    We get parents to print all their forms ...most are fine with this but we keep spares. All print out the funding forms with their initial pack and we get them to do the basics....then when they are funded we go out and attack them and get them to sign ! they never leave our hands😂

    The children should preferably be in sight and in hearing at all times but if not must be in sight or hearing for eyfs settings. Schools however do seem to be able to get away with the fact there are additional people on site. Do they have a risk assessment in place?

    Twinkle twinkle chocolate bar! The big ship sailed on the alley alley oh I saw a ship a sailing ...(bit complex probably!!)

    Thanks...she's definitely got her phonics! digraphs and some tri. Can use letter names and sounds...but doesn't seem to decode (verbally) when she reads. So she will look at a word hesitate for a moment and then tell you what she thinks it is. (which was why i wondered if she had a photographic memory) but she has also started to spell words phonetically so i now just think she is actually reading, as she will make phonically plausible attempts rather than be 100% correct.

  22. finleysmaid
    Can I just add..we do comply with all their rules !!! In case you thought it was a free for all!
  23. finleysmaid

  24. finleysmaid
    Ok ...I have a young girl who is reading. However I can't work out if it is photographic memory or not. I've tried a variety of methods but still can't work it out...any ideas? Pterodactyl was interesting the other day! ðŸĪĢ
