Just wondering if anyone has done anything great with casltes theme or Peppa Pig! thanks everyone, enjoy your weekend x

   Cookery Book Idea As Fundraiser

   In order to address a real financial need I have come up with the idea of producing a Children's Cookery Book' and inviting parents, members of community, local MP, Vicar, dignitories, Head Teachers, Reception Teachers etc to submit a favourite recipe for our book. It might help raise much needed funds and has the potential to appeal to a wider audience than our normal in-house fundraisers. I might include a section on healthy eating so as to meet the wider political agenda around child obesity! Oh, of course, and one on multicultural recipes, although we do serve a primarily white, english community..... My question to you is, what recipe would you send in and …

   Space Topic

   Hi everyone, our children have decided that they would like their role play area to have a space theme next. So we are all set to have a rocket on the moon etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of any stories based around this theme, we have got 'Whatever next' which we read today and the children loved it! But I do not know of any other stories. Also we have got a class assembly soon, and was hoping to show all our space work, but to also do a little role play or acting out of a story. So if anyone knows of a suitable story that we could easily act out, I would be very grateful! Thanks for any ideas x

    Hi, Does anyone have any ideas for developing concentration with small groups of children? I already have Kim's game, hiding objects under buckets for children to track when moved, who is missing? and passing balloon around circle without throwing or dropping it. I am looking for some new ideas.
