I'd prefer to see a goal of making schools and settings ready for the children and inclusive of everyone's needs. I'm not convinced that the reformed early learning goals are a great measure tbh because they've become increasingly narrow in scope. #EYFS

Thank you for this! My 6 year old has started to ask 'Why can't I watch YouTube?', 'Why can't I play Roblox?' books like this will really support those discussions 👍

Movement! Incorporate movement as much as you can. If your lesson doesn't really allow for that one day, give those students as many 'jobs' as possible - handing out books, wiping the board, getting something from the office etc

Personally, there are family members no longer here as a result of the pandemic. Professionally, I made an active decision to move to Early Years, seeing the impact the lockdowns had on my son who was just 2 at the time.

I imagine you don't really get things left in a corner gathering dust, you are constantly checking and reviewing resources

Not just in the Early Years - a very important point 👍

This would be fantastic but I have never heard of it, it sounds very expensive! However, could this be something academy trusts could build into their structures, perhaps so these professionals become a shared resource between the group of schools?

A good governing body is made up of people from all walks of life, but I do feel that the SENCo has such a unique and misunderstood role, that it really helps to have someone who 'gets it' #EduSky #EduSkyPrimary #SEND

When I was a SENCo, my link governor was SENCo in another local school. I found it so empowering to have someone who understood the role and the context of the challenges I was facing, someone to challenge me and to celebrate my successes

I have a son in year 2 too. I definitely had a shift in perspective today realising my own son was learning times tables whilst I was investigating icy puddles and painting fallen leaves with no pressure to meet prescribed expectations 🤣

Yes, absolutely. Interestingly, this setting have developed a 5-12 provision for families electively home educating. For those going/returning to typical mainstream schools, it could be a huge transition. The challenge is finding a common ground I suppose!
