Hi all, this is the first tiem I have used this forum and am still trying to work out how to use it!! So sorry if this topic has already been discussed but not really sure how to find previous ones! I will get the hang of it soon! I am planning a topic on 'space' this term and am after some new ideas for this! Have done all the usual things like using 'whatever next' making rockets, papier mache planets etc but am just after some other ideas and seeing what sort of things you all do! All ideas welcome or even a point in the right direction for where it is on here!!!

Hi We have starting developing a creative curriculum and are using a published scheme- Dimensions. This seems to be working well further up the school, but I am struggling even though it is supposed to be based on the way the foundation stage have traditionally planned.My reception class is quite a difficult one this year, compared to last years who were a dream! In order to make any progress we are having to be a bit more structured so we can gradually give the children more control, behaviour can be an issue and some children don't do anything without lots of encouragement. Our 'theme' is come and join the celebrations. This fits in well from the end of November with…

Garden Stories

Anyone know of any books suitable for year ones where the story is centred around a garden? I'm hoping to do this as a topic next term. I know there's one about a giant who owned a garden he wouldn't let anyone into, but I can't remember the title or whether it's age appropriate (I seem to remember the giant dying at the end, which is a sensitive issue in my class). Are there any other nice short stories that take place in gardens or where the garden is central to the story? I'm looking for a few different titles rather than one main one to focus on (we're already had a focus on Oliver's Vegetables so we're leading on from that).

On our investigation table we have been exploring the senses and after half term we are doing taste. Apart from tasting different foods and describing and sorting foods by how they taste does anyone have any other ideas for 4-5 year olds. Thanks

We want to have a cave role play area next term, outside but under a shelter. I wondered if anyone had made a really successful, sturdy, well-loved cave and how you went about doing it. At the moment I'm thinking about chicken wire and mod-roc - but thought you might have some simpler ideas? Thank you!

Hi in my last school we had some 1metre by 3 metre pieces of fabric on a variety of themes which we used in a number of ways. Namely 3D shapes, numbers, letters, space & planets, buildings, ladybirds etc. Just to save me wading through catalogues I wondered if anyone knew which one ??? There is also a company which does mail order anyone know the details?? Many Thanks..................
