We can address any worries the children have. Just wondering if there are any stories etc? Sunai

   I am trying to think of something a little different for my role play area related to the Olympics. I would like to set up a TV/Weather Studio for them to report the events of the Olympics and look at the weather etc. Any suggestions on what resources I could add or get them to make? I have thought of headsets/video cameras/desk for presenting! Any other ideas please?

    Olympics

    We are going to have an olympic week at our setting. I was wondering if anyone has any fresh idea's regarding PE activities.

It would be nice to have something a bit more exciting ! Thanks
