Reception - Teddy jobs...

Hello again,

Everyone had another fantastic day today! Even if there were some tired children at the end! As the children become more comfortable with coming in to school and the expectations we have, we will begin to add different elements that will become part of the routine. The first of these will be teddy jobs. These are set jobs in the mornings that are designed to engage children for short periods of time, covering lots of different areas. The children are put into a group and these groups are used for a whole host of things throughout the year. Today, we shared these groups with the children and which one they would be in; Mr. Bump, Mrs. Armatage, The Hungry Caterpillar, The Gruffalo, Stick Man or Elmer. Starting on Thursday children will come in to the classroom and instead of choosing anything to do, will be directed towards a set 'Teddy job' to do whilst everyone is still coming in and getting settled. There will be cards out where the jobs are so children will hopefully be able to spot their group! Hands will then be clapped at 9.00am for the register. I hope all this makes sense and once again, it will become second nature after a week! Any questions, please come and ask.
