Just looking for your inspiration or suggestions!!!1 I want to do a small scale fundraiser or 2 (to raise money towards lowering the cost of a class outing to the farm), and apart from a cake sale, I'm trying to think of a nice sponsored activity the children could do at home... Does anyone have any good ideas that have worked well for reception age children? We did a sponsored matchbox fundraiser which worked well (children took home a matchbox and were sponsored for the amount of things they could fit inside it - and we want do something along those lines but different..... Looking forward to your replies Cheers BB

Not sure where to post this, but here goes. I have had some info through the post about a North West Regional Conference from the World Organisation of Early Childhood Education. It takes place on the 1st April at Manchester Uni. Speakers look interesting, but I have never heard of the organisation before. Anyone ever heard of them or been involved with them? Thanks.

HI, I am doing my first assembly to the whole school soon. I have a class of 30 and my topic is fairy stories this term. I would really appreciate hearing any ideas you have. I would ideally like to include a song and perhaps some acting rather than just showing work. Please help!

Nurture Group

It's been suggested by language therapist that I set up a nurture group in my reception class to help support a child with language and social skills delays. He's already in a small 'work' group with children at a similar level, but this doesn't seem to be helping with his communication - he is very reluctant to contribute. Anyone have any tips as to what I should be aiming for from a nurture group? I am concerned about level of adult input I will need to give this if it is to be successful - only me, Nursery Nurse and P/T TA for 40 children! All advice gratefully received!

Assemblies

Hello, Hope you can help, I am working in a reception class and have been told by my head that we need to be going into assemblies (whole school, key stage, good work) every day. I find it a waste of time because the children seem to get nothing out of being in an assembly. I would much rather spend time on snack, outdoor provision, exciting activities etc. I feel I am stopping and starting and achieving very little simply through going into assemblies. What is the general feelings on assemblies and do the majority of reception classes participate. Thanks Emma xx
