I have some ideas but was wondering if anyone had any things that they have done that have worked well, especially for role play (it has been suggested that I improve this area) and outdoor provision (we are putting in vegetable beds hopefully!). Many thanks in advance h

Hi I have recently been told i have a job interview for an overseas job for a year R class in an English school. For my lesson observation I have to do a 30 min lesson to a class of year R children. I have no other brief regarding subject or lesson matter - just lesson that plays to my strengths and that can be evidenced in the fact the children have learnt something.

I am more comfortable teaching literacy but whatever resources I take need to be able to fit in a suitcase along with my interview…

Not quite sure how to go about it though and wondered if anyone else has any good ideas?

I need to ask what is probably a really stupid question. I have an English unit coming up (I teach a YR/1 mix) for Fairy stories with predictable language and another of Fantasy stories. I would like to move the Fairy stories one to the summer term as I would like to use The Enormous Turnip to tie in with our summer term 'plants and animals' topic. However, my topic for the first part of next term is Castles. Is a castle a fantasy story setting or does it depend on what happens there? Would stories that include dragons be fantasy stories? Are fairy stories also fantasy stories? I.e. could I do Cinder or Sleeping Beauty for a fantasy story this term? If …
