Thank you Kathryn

I like the way I which you have identified how staff could be encouraged to stand back and observe a little – the use of video as a tool to improve practice is such a great idea!

[NIckyb]

Thank you Emma,

Really good to acknowledge that more could be done to support children to connect their explorations to ‘ real life’ and in identifying the value of including some adult initiated / led activities in order to promote problem solving and critical thinking.Encouraging the children to evaluate their own learning is really valuable in supporting the children to recognise themselves as proficient learners!

Thank you for today Nicky.

To make this evidence more stronger within our portfolio, would it be a good idea to write what we would do in order to promote the subheading?
I do not know if that sounded right. Sorry.

Hi,

Please find attached my SSTEW Item 12.

In terms of something I am taking away from today’s session to work on in our setting, it is based around maths provision because this is an area we consistently fall down on. I am going to encourage the staff in the upper nursery to use opportunities presented by mealtimes to use maths. We have 5 set mealtimes a day in the nursery, so there are plenty of opportunities! I want the staff to ask more maths based questions such as how many cups/plates etc do we need, how many children are in the room, take X number of carrots etc, how full is your glass, is this apple halved or quartered, how many pieces do you think can we cut this banana into etc. I want to encourage the staff to do this all the time, so that it becomes second nature. It is not something they need to do any paperwork for, but it just needs to become something they simply do.

HI Despina

yes that’s correct – you could make this stronger piece of evidence by using specific examples of what you would actually do to improve this aspect of provision

Hi Katharine

Great to include specific examples in your SSTEW!
Good idea to use meal times as a natural way of introducing more mathematical concepts – I wonder if the use of ‘ prompt’ speech bubbles in the room would help remind staff to use and model mathematical language?
Role playing shops is another fun way to incorporate maths!

[kdilworth]

Thanks Nicky – I really like the speech bubbles idea. I think we have always thought that having words around the place was for children (who can’t read yet so their usefulness is questionable), but they would certainly be good for the staff! They will need reminding and I can’t be there watching them all the time 😉 And yes we do have a little ‘maths area’ with some weighing scales and fake money to be used for playing shops, and I’ve certainly seen the pre-school doing this during free play, but it could probably be encouraged more by the staff.

[NIckyb]

Prompts for staff are definitely useful – let me know how it goes!

My SSTEW task for today. Found todays session really interesting and have made so many notes of things I want to try in my setting. Just hope I have time to follow it all through!
