I hear you Blondie…it’s driving me nuts, I keep asking mine to cut down on what they’re doing , I even split key children up so they could focus on less a week to try and cut the work load but they just now do excessive amounts on those few a week, I really hope I can get them to adjust their mind set for September 🤨

HELP!
Mouseketeer replied to zigzag's topic in All Early Years settings & Childminders: General Issues
Sounds like a plan, sometimes it’s the adults that need teaching in our place they will let a group create a massive mess inside then move outside leaving the next adult in to clear it away with the help of children who didn’t get it all out to start with ☹️ -

It isn’t just you zigzag, we have a right unruly bunch at the moment and feel like we’re failing to get on top of it, they don’t treat anything with respect (I have never known so many broken resources), they wind each other up endlessly and use lots of of silly language, no doubt picked up from older siblings or the rubbish they’re allowed to watch on tv but then the younger/immature ones in the cohort hang on it and think it’s funny to keep repeating it, if anyone has ideas on putting a stop to that I’d love to hear them (the ignoring it strategy is definitely not working) 🥺 -
I hope all you half termers have managed some down time …I’ve pottered in the garden, read a book, met friends for lunch and had 2nd vaccine, am now feeling a tad guilty that I’ve given little thought to work other than plant watering (well that’s not strictly true, I have thought about it, just not acted on it 🙈) hoping the last half term is good to you all 🤞

Fab! added to the list 👍

I was already convinced I’d been given a placebo anyway when practically everyone I knew was some kind of unwell and I didn’t even have an arm ache 🤔

Is anyone any closer to making a decision on whether they’ll follow DM or B25 (or something else altogether) from Sept? I just keep swinging between the two, I like the JG short videos and think these will be great for sharing with staff and discussing the reasoning behinds a more informal way of assessing (not statements > concerns/no concerns) but prefer the assessment side/ranges of B25 and that aspects are included in all ranges, so thinking about mixing them up. Is there any news on when/If B25 will be available on Tapestry? And will it have aspect flags and ranges as well as area flags please? I think I’m asking will it be possible to show a child for example is: Literacy/Reading/Expected range 4 🤔

Me too louby 🥺 is the kissing/hugging thing really necessary yet? I wonder if there will be any changes to Monday’s plans with the rise in the Indian variant? Has anyone been invited to take part in the antibody test? I did it last night and being 8 weeks post 1st vaccine it showed no antibodies present ......I know it says it’s not 100% accurate but now wishing I hasn’t done it 🙁

Staff notice board
Mouseketeer replied to CarolineAS's topic in Weavers Future Development Suggestions
Thanks Ben, I do appreciate that but it must just be me seeing it as un-logical if it hasn’t been raised by any of the other thousands of users ...put it down to age 🙈 -
Even later but Happy Birthday 🥳

Ummmmm I’m not convinced 🤣 to my mind if I’ve set a reflection to available to all staff and ready for discussion it has been actioned/submitted/added (well by me anyway 😛)
