   Hi all Just joined the Forum and some wonderful ideas, topics and support offered. Can anyone help me please? Years ago when my son was in Year 1 he learn't a song about a worm and a line in it was - "When you tickled the middle, one end wriggled and one end giggled". I would love to teach it to the children in my pre-school but I can't remember it. Does anyone know of it? Many thanks

   Robots/machines Focus

   As I have a lot of boys in my group and some girls who are into ICT I thought I'd focus on Robots or machines. My primary inspiration was from a Letters and Sounds game where we were breaking down words and it worked better in a silly robotic voice. I thought this focus would be fun and being a geek, I'd get lots of ideas. So far I have: Robotic talk Covering dolls (or people) in foil to make them robots Opening the PC case and seeing what is inside Remote controlled cars Using 'remotes' to control each other's movements Finding PC programmes which enable us to change the sounds of our voices through a mic Some kind of simple Logo game on PC and now I'm stuc…

   Books On A Garden Theme.

   This is the first time I have started a thread so I assume I just type in here! When we go back to school after the hols the whole school is following a similar topic. We did this last year and did Pirates, which worked well. This year however the topic is 'The Secret Garden' for KS2 and the idea is that Foundation and KS1 focus on a book based around this kind of a theme. Does anyone have any good book suggestions based around a secret/magical/fantasy type garden? I'm struggling to come up with anything and when I look on search engines I just get lots of books about growing, planting, flowers etc. I teach in Nursery. I think Y1 & Y2 are doing The Selfish…

   hello I am having a mild - no major panic. I have no hall this week - long story building work means we have no toilet, so we have decided to visit our local woodland, park. That's fine I've already done it for a week early on in the build - so that's OK But looking at the weather forecast it is going to rain -a lot. So far - building shelter (sent hubby to B & Q for tarpaulins) Catching rain Rain songs Floating boats in the stream, more like a puddle. Decorate shelter rain art oh - umbrella's to make rain noises - great from Ikea. Any other ideas Thanks
