Week two of school embedded learning was focused around exploring planning and I also lead the story and nursery rhyme sessions in the class.
I found that the planning was heavily focused around settling in and getting to know each child. The last few children started this week so every child is still very new to the setting. My plan was to observe one morning and focus on how the teacher organised it, and although I did do this to some extent it was difficult to stand back an observe as many children needed support from the teacher, teaching assistants and myself to settle them in as several children took a while to settle in.
