Hello, has anyone any suggestions for some afternoon activities I could do with year 1 children about dolphins. Thought of learning some facts, labelling them, modelling them from playdough. My mind has gone a bit blank and struggling for some exciting, interesting things to do. Thank you.

Hi all! I hope your start of the new school year is going well! We are planning school trips at the moment at my school and we've run out of ideas for a trip linked to our topics for Reception age children. We are a school in north Surrey and our topics are: Food, glorious food, Once upon a time... (traditional tales), A trip to London and Gardener's World (In my garden).

Hello I have read lots recently about the value of role play areas without a specific focus...often referred to as deconstructed role play. I am curious to hear from anyone who has one set up as to how it is going (sounds great!) and what you refer to it as in little people friendly terms. Thanks Pauline

Hello. I teach in Cumbria but have joined the EYFS Forum on a personal subscription before I realised about the LEA subscription facility. I was wondering if there were any other EYFS/Yr 1 practitioners from Cumbria who also regularly use the Forum. Thanks

Hi Could people please let me know how many children they let access their outdoor area unsupervised? I generally let up to 6 children outside in the sand, water, etc. It can be hard to manage in a reception class with 2 adults. Thank you.
