Hi Everyone Im new to FSF-hope you can help me! Im a reception teacher and I am struggling for ideas for PE. Most of our physical development activities so far have been carried out in our outdoor provision. However, our new head teacher has asked for it to be more formal; children in school PE kit in the hall etc. I have been given no money to buy in a scheme of work and so far I have found online planning for Reception PE very scarce! I am currently doing a dinosaur theme and think it may be nice to somehow link this into my PE????? We do have the usual gym equipment in the hall-benches, mats, horse, climbing frames etc but nothing special at all! If anyone has any pl…

Hi, We are looking at artists such as Mondrian, Picasso, Pollock this term and wondered if you have any ideas of how to make an interactive game in the central area for children to play. The children loved the sensory trail i set up and after they had explored all the different textures with their feet i made it into a game by adding numbers to the different textures. A bit like a snakes and ladders game. I would like to do someting similar but with an artists theme. Any good ideas? Also any great ideas for an assembly on artists thx.

Hi Folks Yet again getting myself in a real state about the calculating stepping stone 'Compares two groups of objects, saying when they have the same number'. I think that this is extreemly hard for a 3-4 year old to achieve especially when the guidence states they have to SAY when they have the same number. Can anyone out there help me with examples of what children have said or done to achieve this in your settings? or any simple ways that you assess it. We are good at saying when there are more in a group, not so good on when there is less but hopeless on when they groups have the same. I have a wide range of ability within the nursery (39 each session and 3 staff) b…
