I have two non-contact sessions a week, with two different regular supplies covering my Y4 class. I have a challenging class with lots of issues.
Every time the supplies tell me that the kids were 'really good' and they had a great time. Every time the TA and even the kids themselves tell me that it was awful and behaviour was out of control. Some of the children have even asked if I have to go out at all, as they find it distressing. The 1-1 often takes his boy out as they can't get anything done and he gets distressed. I came down during PPA last week to find my class coming back from assembly and literally running and screaming down the hall into the classroom.
Does anyone have any advice for dealing with this? I've spoken to the kids of course (when they were running & screaming I dealt with them directly) and I tell them the plan for the afternoon so there aren't any surprises. We have a system of rewards and sanctions which is clear and the supplies seem to be using, and I've also started a list of names who get a sticker from me the next morning if they've been good. I've even said they can send children to me while I'm in PPA, but it's yet to happen! One of the times I'm out is on Monday, and it sets them up badly for the rest of the week
