Can’t Find It
This reflective Ready-Or-Not story takes a funny but uncomfortably familiar look at the chaos of home time in Reception and KS1. Beneath the laughter is a bigger question: how do we help children build independence, responsibility, and organisational skills when the lost property pile is practically a classroom feature?
Use this story as a tool for CPD or staff reflection. It’s perfect for sparking discussion about:
Supporting children’s self-care and organisation in realistic ways
Encouraging responsibility without blame
Turning daily frustrations into valuable life skills
A relatable, light-hearted story with serious professional value — because every teacher knows the “that’s not mine” jumper moment all too well.
