   Hi, we have a sand pit and a separate 'mud kitchen'. We have just cleaned out the sandpit and filled it with lovely clean sand but several of our children want to move it, handful by handful, bucket by bucket, into the mud kitchen and mud building site area. My question is about builders sand. I have half a huge bag of this just sitting in my garden, left over from a previous building project and I'm wondering whether I could tip it onto the mud to make it more diggable and allow the children to transport it around the muddy area, offering transporting opportunities and maybe saving the nice sand for those children who want to build sandcastles and generally play with…

   Hi, I am still definitely in half term mode and the fuzzy work mode brain is on! Sooo if you could help me out that would be fab! My next topic (Year 1) could either be Plants (Growing) or Houses and Homes and I was struggling for a few ideas for literacy planning. I have already done Traditional Tales and Information Texts so that rules out quite a few obvious suggestions i.e. Jack & Beanstalk, 3 Little pigs and Hansel and Gretel. Any Suggestions for stories/books that are specific to a Literacy Unit? Thanks in advance
