Hessian on the Walls but …
This week, as I visited four different schools, and inevitably had the hessian/ brown paper and calm children discussion!
At Spread the Happiness I prefer … colour displays. I understand the theory of hessian/brown paper, but children would be a lot calmer if they were allowed more movement. They would also be calmer if classrooms were tidier! Which leads me to prompt you? How clean is your classroom?
- Neat as a pin
- Needs a tidy
- Out of control please send a skip!
Calmer children have access to movement more and the outdoors, plus a classroom that is neat, provision that is inviting and all in the right place, also adds to the calm. The bonus factor to calm children? A tighter than tights timetable.
Hope these tips reassured you or prompted you to tidy ????
Lots of Early Years energy
