We get a weekly newsletter from our Principal and she rarely has quotes. Today this one resonates with me and makes a lot of sense. Being that teacher and consistently planning your lessons makes for an easier time for you as a teacher. #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #teacherstyle #teachersshare #firstyearteacher #superteacher #iteachwhatsyoursuperpower https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw26pBOh4K9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j6qcvy7uf2kn

This was so popular today! Some of them really surprised me, making three and four way patterns. It was so lovely to hear all the autumn vocab they learnt last week as well, now we all know what an acorn is! #maths #eyfs #pattern #earlyyears #problemsolving #autumn #naturalresources #howcleverarewe #teachersfollowteachers #teachersshare #teachersofinstagram

I am so pleased with how this activity went in class today. Thanks @curiousmindsatwork for the idea! I was a little worried that the kids wouldn't quite get it, they have just started nursery and I wasn't sure if it would be too abstract but they loved it!we started by looking at our smooth happy paper heart and then discussed things that might make our heart sad. We folded it with each unkind thing we thought of, giving it "wrinkles". Then we role played being kind to make the heart feel better and unfolded it with each suggestion. The children really seemed to understand the concept of the wrinkled heart and we talked about how even when we say sorry, unkind things make us sad for a lot longer and the wrinkles dont always come out. Hopefully we will have no wrinkled hearts in nursery now! 😊 #nursery #eyfs #wrinkledheart #teachersshare#teachersfollowteachers #psed #earlyyears

Finger gym trays. These are great because the children can carry them anywhere in the classroom where there is a free space. This week they were sorting beans and buttons with tweezers! #fingergym #finemotorskills #eyfs #earlyyears #teachersshare #teachersfollowteachers

So excited about our new imagination tree! Each week we will hang different themed pictures as an invitation to create. The children can interpret this as they wish and will have a range of creative materials to access, no limitations! This week it is all about ourselves so I hung pictures of different families, houses and faces! Can't wait to see where the children take it! #teachers #nursery #eyfs #create #creationstation #imagination #imagine #imaginationtree #teachersshare
