Africa And All That

Hi, Every year our school devotes a whole week to some kind of 'excellence and enjoyment' curriculum type thing!? In the past we've done, Creative Arts Week and Literacy Week. We throw the whole timetable out across the whole school (2form entry plus a nursery) and plan the whole week together so that all the children get to work collaboratively... it's quite a task to organise, but the outcome is always stupendous! anyhow, to cut a long story short, this year we're doing a Multicultural week, and the FS have decided to base their week around Africa. Does anyone have any ideas, know any good visitors, websites etc that we could pursue? We need to get the…

Im teaching Year 1 after Easter and I would like to know what other Year 1 teachers do in terms of structure of the day and timetable. Also how is the classroom set up?

Writing Area

Hello, I am thinking of changing the layout of my writing area to entice a few more of the boys inside. I saw a brief video on Teachers TV where a school has converted their writing area into a car. Has anyone else done this? If so, have you got any hints or tips on how to get started? Would you let the children design and make it? Glittery :-)

Hello all, Having just received some great tips after posting my first question on here, I thought I'd try and reciprocate with a couple of websites I've found useful. Perhaps most of you are already aware of these and I'm stating the obvious, but anyway! www.sensoryworld.org.uk - great for PMLD - nice touch screen activities creating pictures and music and some more advanced activities. www.whiteboardroom.org.uk - a new site with loads of stuff including a section for PMLD (there's a great link here to an ORT story-making programme in the English section... Thanks for all the great ideas I've gained from this site so far! Jenona

Hello... Firstly, what a useful site this has been in my first year of teaching special needs at Primary level! I hope to be able to reciprocate soon by sharing some of my own ideas and finds when I begin to generate some more original stuff! I recently tried to order something called a "counting train" from an educational suppliers ( are we allowed to mention names here?!) and was told it had been discontinued. Basically it was a large wooden train with a series of carriages which you could count wooden people into - great for addition/counting on etc. I've done a few searches but can't find this available anywhere else...does anyone else know where I ca…

Hi I work in a small Preschool and we are now thinking about the transition of our children starting school in September. I wonder if any of you Reception teachers would mind telling me of any common problems you have come across with children when they first start school? Also, any advice for reassuring parents who worry about their child not being ready for school (can't write their name etc) . Thanks very much

Hi can anyone tell me or has anyone got a template of a transition book that is used for children to take over to school. I manage three private day care provisions that feed in to a few different schools so a template that would be suitable for most receptions would be great.
