Nursery Rhyme Nativity
by Guest- 7 replies

I am beginning to plan this years nativity play and heard a positive review about a nativity play with songs that have nursery rhyme tunes- thought this would make song learning easier! So far I have found 2 publications available- 1 has a CD and 1 doesn't. Wondered if anyone has used either and can advise whether they found them worthwhile? If not what are peoples general idea about whether the CD is necessary or not? http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/014301/details.html http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nursery-Rhyme-Nati...m/dp/184101236X

We are currently reorganising the reception day and I wondered how often other people do formal PE, it has been suggested we do it 3 time a week, but I think thats a lot of formal teaching?

Hi Does anybody do a FS portfolio with evidence of good practice in Nursery and Reception? I don't mean Moderation just a nice file with evidence of good planning, photos, children's work. I thought this would be good evidence to show OFSTED. Tia

Could any of you lovely people advise me on this?! After a day from hell I need some pointers! Im 4 weeks in at my new job (foundation unit) and they have always had there learning journeys organised chronologically/ in sections for each term but with the observations from all 6 areas of learning just mixed up - whilst I realise that many observations cover more than one area of learning I feel that some areas are not/wont be focused on as much as for eg PSE will be.

My problem is I don't think the rest of the school do - in particular the year 1 teacher. She is also head of the infants (which includes me but I do all the work for foundation stage!) but has no interest in the reception children until she recieves them as year 1's. WE;ve been back at school for three weeks and I've had constant sniping about what i haven't done - mainly heinemann maths workbooks (ahhhhhhhh)…
