Hi, I've just joined the forum in hope that I'll be able to get some creative ideas for my first teaching practice!!, which starts after half term. Our topic is 'Colours and Celebrations'.

Hi, not sure what reaction i may receive from this post but here goes... I don't like the topic Halloween. I do not want to discuss witches, ghosts, trick or treat etc with the children. On the other hand all of my staff think i am being grossly unfair and it is only a bit of fun. I wouldn't mind so much if i thought they would research the history of this pagan festival and teach the children, but i know we will have a 'fancy dress' day with children making spiders and zooming around on brooms. What should i do, let them go ahead even though i find it totally inappropriate or give them guidelines about the 'true' halloween and suggest they plan around the…

Yes, it's really sad, but I'm already thinking about the second half of the Autumn Term 2005 when my topic will be Festivals. I've got lots of non-fiction resources but no stories about any winter festivals. I will be teaching a Reception Class? Can anyone help please?

Role Play Area

I'm thinking of changing one of my topics next year in order to ensure we give other cultures and beliefs a higher profile rather than just paying a passing glance and it being rather bitty. Thing that puts me off is trying to decided what to do for the role play area. I would be doing it Autumn 2 so could do Christmas - either stable or Santa's grotto from December, but would need something for the beginning of the term. Has anyone got any ideas that wouldn't take too long to set up/dismantal given all the other things that would be going on? Harricroft
