hi there everybody I'm looking for some expert help here. I want to make some dressing up costumes for my Reception class. I have looked in the 'Three Bears' catalogue and was very inspired but also very put off by the prices . So off I did trot down to the rag market today and bought lots of cheap material. However... i haven't a clue where to start. Is there anyone out there that can give me help, email, fax me with a few simple patterns. I would like to make Red riding hoods cape (the hood part probably being the trickiest), and a king/queen/princess gown and cape. here's hoping that some out there has lots of talent cheers liza

On the first day i wanted to introduce a few rules ie stopping and listeing, getting into a line etc. Then basicly circle time to get the class talking and to help me get to know them etc while doing this i'll introduce the topic of holidays and then we'll do some work on that. After break i wanted to something on numeracy like a few games and then some number recognition. After lunch i want to play some more games to help with the names and then get them to do collages of their faces to go o…

Hi I've just recieved the new 'Playing with Sounds' document and it looks quite interesting particularly the new stuff on step 1 and the talking books. In the research part it says that all teachers should have knowledge of THRASS but i've never heard of it. Can anybody give me some information. Thanks

As Part of broadening the curriculum, we have whole school topic weeks.The first week back is myths and legends and we have to base our work for that week round that theme.

This is where i hope to fix post it type notes for special things that happen in my class-e,g if i hear a child being kind/v.polite etc. I hope to refer to, and praise these occurances, during circle time either at the end of each day or the week.
