I have a small table in my classroom that is the KUW area. Obviously a whole load of KUW learning takes place outside but I still like to have an area for this in the classroom. However, I feel a little stale in what I am putting out and wondered if we could all generate some KUW ideas that can be used within the classroom. Some of the sorts of things I have had out are... Magnets Smelling pots Objects frozen in ice Discovery bottles obscure objects to discuss information books and autumn objects coloured ice cubes programmable toys Any other ideas?

Hi all, I am currently studying a foundation degree, I am currently working through my last assignment which is all about the curriculum. I was just wondering if anyone can give me some help with answering a few questions about the curriculum in year one or year two that you follow such as How your planning links to the national curriculum? What your views are on assessment? What your views are on working within a national curriculum? How do you assess your children? such as SATS? Transistions - what do you put in place for your children? Thank you, your replies will be much appreciated!!

I work in a predominately white christian school so forgive my ignorance. I have a little boy in class who is Jehovahs Witness and I know exactly what he can do and can't when it comes to Christmas and other celebrations. His parents have been very clear with me.

What are you using this week to engage reception in the theme? I've seen 'Something Else' but it is about someone who doesnt fit in. Does anyone have a more relevant suggestion for a book to use to make bullying understood?
