   Hi everyone, I am an NQT starting my first post in nursery. Having never worked in the foundation stage before I am struggling for ideas for my provision areas that link to the 'ourselves' topic. There are some fantastic activity ideas on here but I am struggling to find ideas for provision. Can anyone help me or direct me to somewhere for ideas? They would be much appreciated!!

We have the normal face painting etc, but I would like to do an activity table, the open day has lots of adult tables but I would like to put on something for our LO's.

   Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me!! I have an observation next week and we have been learning about the Jungle. We have been on a trip to the zoo, we have made a role play area and learnt about lots of different animals that live in the jungle. I was thinking about using the book 'Night Monkey, Day monkey' but my mind has gone blank for activities. Any suggestions anyone?? Thanks xx
