   Making Butter

   I've made butter in the past using the cream off full fat milk, but I'm sure I've seen another way of making butter using whipping cream (?) Anyone made butter with children, how long did it take? I might want to do it as part of a lesson being observed by science co-ordinator. Also - somewhere there was a recipe for a super quick ice-cream. Or ... any other good ideas for a Food based science lesson. Thanks, Harricroft

   Reception Concert - Any Ideas?

   Hello, I am the lead teacher in Reception (3 classes) and we have to do a production/ concert just after Easter. In previous years, we have done 'Noah's Ark' and various concerts from Golden Apple. Do any of you have any suggestions for a concert or any scripts??? I just seem to have run out of ideas this year (4th year of doing this) and I really could do with some ideas/ inspiration. It has to be a bit more than a 'class assembly' with loads of songs, a dance and a story - lasting approx half an hour. I am hoping to write the concert in half term. Hope you can help??!!

   Hi all A group in my class at the moment are progressing well with recognition of high frequency words for reception in their high frequency word books. However they are not applying them to reading in other areas. If they come across the word outside the context of their high frequency word book it's as if they have never seen it before. Any tips on how i can help them apply their knowledge to reading in other areas? Lola

    As a subject co-ordinator I am aware of the types of evidence that Ofsted will require you to provide if and when they come in. As far as key stage co-ordinators, in this instance FS, what are the types of paperwork they would expect to see? Your help is appreciated!
