Flexibility definitely the key Mary. To meet the needs of children,  the content and the teachers personalities and skills

[Fiona Jennings]

I love how your station teaching is planned to gradually build up the skills of the children particularly in relation to fine motor.  I may magpie!!

[Fiona Jennings]

Thanks for sharing your experience.  It shows the value of a collaborative approach,  reducing the workload and sharing the expertise.

[Fiona Jennings]

Always great to be affirmed in your own practice!

[Fiona Jennings]

Space certainly be a challenge!

[Fiona Jennings]

I must look into symboloo,  I haven’t heard of it

[Fiona Jennings]

Yes Niamh, very easy to encorporate Heggerty into the beginning of your sessions as you describe.  Later in the year I also find out great to pull put randomly when I had 5 minutes to fill (not to often!!)

Hi Annie, I like your plan and the children will get a lot of input.  As the ufli lessons take 30 minutes 4 days a week usually you may find yourselves tight for time with rest of curriculum. If so you could use lead and support model. Those weeks when you are doing just 1 lesson the model you are describing will be perfect.

[Fiona Jennings]

Good to have clear plan in place going into new year

[Fiona Jennings]

Ye obviously have very well established practice in place.

[Fiona Jennings]

Glad the course helped you decide what was best for your class

[Fiona Jennings]

That is a very positive example of how ICS can be used to spread the learnings from CPD

[Fiona Jennings]

Thanks for sharing your varied experience

[Fiona Jennings]

The advantage of your experience is that you can now choose the most appropriate form of ICS to meet the students needs

[Fiona Jennings]

Ye have clearly put so much thought into the why and the how of your ICS. Best of luck addressing the needs of the clearly challenging groups
