Hi all Does anyone have any great songs or rhymes that 'mention' saying please and/or thank you!

We always, always notice a 'downturn' in manners following a holiday - but have usually managed to 'lick them into shape' by now!

Hi all - I'm confused (doesn't take much! ) At the beginning of term we were given a fantastic set of 'wild' animals - the children became very interested in them very quickly - so in best EYFS style we have built on this interest! We have read stories, cut out animal pictures, frozen wild animals in ice for the water tray, unearthed our wildlife stencils, built zoo enclosures with our blocks and we have made a 3D Jungle scene - this is especially cool!

hello, I am planning to do Oliver's Vegetables in the Summer term, and was wondering if anyone else has done this as a topic before and if so are willing to share their ideas of what they did for this? I have all the basic ideas of printing, grocer shop in the role play corner, sorting vegetables, observational drawings. Was looking for any inspiring ideas or any poems, rhymes, sand and water ideas, craft activities. Any help would be much appreciated. Best Wishes

Hi all, I know there is loads to do with nursery rhymes out there, but thats the problem, how do I choose something to show me off in 20 mins! The school have said they are not so much looking for "what the children have learnt" but to "how you approach the task", meaning I should go in there all guns blazing right? Any fantastic, knock your socks off 20 min R/YR1 Lit tasks or ideas would be great! This HAS to be my last interview, I cant take it anymore!!!

Am in middle of all my home visits and this year we are collecting e mail asddresses from parents so I can e mail letters and reminders to them. Thinking of giving them my school e mail address for them to email queries and messages to me. Good idea or very BAD idea?!!!! Does anyone already do this? Any tips and advice? Don't want to set up something that will end up a nightmare. Keen to e mail letters though as some parents still amazingly say they don't get them even though i have personally handed them to them!!!
