Armed Forces Topic

Has anyone ever done a topic based on the Armed Forces ? I have a lot of boys interested in Army, who have been making guns !! and I am considering looking at this in more detail to look at the different Armed Forces. It is only an idea and could lead into Super Heroes etc as when they have made guns they have been encouraged to use their imagination, e.g firing bubbles to turn everyone pink etc !! I know that there are those teachers that would not consider this type of topic and I can see the arguments for and against.

Hi All I am very excited because after half term we are going on a trip to the farm to collect some duck eggs!!! I am already thinking about what activites we can do and books we can use and would like to pick your brains for ideas. Can only think of Duck in a truck, Farmer Duck, Fix it Duck, The Ugly Duckling books. Would like to do something on Daffy Duck if I can work it into the topic. Any ideas what I can do for activites? Eventually this topic will lead on to other types of eggs - dinosaurs as the children want to do this. I wait in hope! Thanks

Does anybody have a little poem or verse I could use to put into each child's card that they have made along with their mark making scribbles!!!

Display Title

I'm not really sure where to put this post but I've finally settled on this forum! Today the children (2yr's old) have done some beautiful mark making, on a large roll of paper on the floor, they've used different pens, pencils, crayons and it looks really striking. I've decided I'm going to put it up on a display board as the backing paper and then stick on some photo's I took whislt they were doing the activity and write some captions about what they learnt as they did this process. (Hope that makes sense) I can't think of a catchy title though, I was just going to put "our mark making" or similar but it's a bit....blah! The display is going in the corrido…
