Time to Talk

As you will know we changed our group time at the beginning of this month, splitting the children in to school leavers and younger children. This has proved very successful. The older children have had more time to share their news and the younger ones have started learning skills needed for group time without being expected to sit for long periods of time.

We have been using 'Quackers' our bear to help with turn taking ...


It has really helped with the children's listening skills by using the bear as a visual aid to indicate who's turn it is to talk.

We are really pleased with how well this has worked but we would love to know if you have any methods for waiting for time to talk that you use at home which you would like to share with us.
