Never heard of it. Would think in many schools this kind of thing would be what a Learning Mentor is for. 1:1 chats.

It is an opportunity for children to talk to the teacher, or another adult (including a Senior TA) on a one-to-one basis about any concerns they might have about anything.

I do that anyway do we have to have a name for everything. I call it being being approachable, kind and thoughtful to the needs of children. TA's (well most) do it every day.

I quite agree with you Jack. Very Happy

I was merely stating what the 'word on the web' is about it. We don't actually have 'Bubble Time' at our school but the kids know that they can talk to any of us, and we have two fantastic Learning Mentors as well that they can go to.

I will go back and read it Medusa and thank-you for putting a link on I like to keep up but feel lately they are all reinventing the wheel and giving it another name. It just makes me a bit Evil or Very Mad

.I am just catching up as I have been too busy to look at the forum for 2 days. Will be one up when they eventually get it mentioned at the staff meeting. Very Happy
