Circle Time –
4.0 out of 5 stars
There were plenty of good ideas for circle time for several age groups and practical advice on how to apply them. The book was clear and easily referenced.

Circle Time –
This book should need little by way of introduction to most readers of this journal. Those familiar with Jenny Mosley’s other work in this area, or those who have attended her professional development sessions, will be well versed in its content and style. As the title suggests – More Quality Circle Time – continues some of the existing themes of Circle Time, whilst adding a series of new ideas to make the activity even more stimulating and rewarding for children. Not only does this book help add new strategies, but it also breaks out in new directions. For instance, there is a section dealing with using Circle Time in nursery and reception classes; there are also some illuminating case studies of Circle Time in use in specific locations. The volume as a whole is brim full of ideas and, as is usually the case with this author, written in an easy style which draws the reader in. That said, I think that the reader may wish to familiarise themselves with other Circle Time publications, which perhaps provide a more ‘nuts and bolts’ introduction to the approach. In sum, this book represents a solid addition to the Circle Time literature. It should be popular amongst converts and addicts alike.
Circle Time –
Jenny Mosley has written widely on Circle Time and this book should certainly help schools to develop some strong strategies for improving all kinds of relationships, whether new to Circle Time or not. Sections and activities include: Getting to Know You; Listening and Concentrating; Feelings; Being Kind; Friendship; co-operation; Solving Problems and Resolving Conflict. There are also detailed, highly readable teachers’notes which share problems encountered by Circle Time practitioners, and a worthwhile section which includes information on training and resources. This book should heop teachers to develop techniques for children to work together. it will make adults in schools more aware of the importance of working together and developing the support networks that come from successful and effective teamwork.
