   Nursery Rhyme C.d's

   Can anyone recommend a really good Nursery Rhyme and/or Counting Songs CD to use at our nursery setting? We have lots already but usually they are really high to sing along to or just have one or two good ones and the rest are a bit dodgy! We end up having to flip around from one to another during singing time. Thank you!

   Hi, our currect topic is fairytales/make believe. We were thinking of going to seven stories in Newcastle for a school trip as this would fit in nicely. Does anyone have any other ideas or good places that they have been to in the Newcastle area? It doesnt really matter if it doesnt fit in with our topic as we havent been on a trip this school year! Any ideas would be great Thanks

   Can anyone give me any ideas please. A couple of the children in our setting have just, or are moving, also this week children have talked about their favourite dressing up clothes from the box, also a few children have been obsessed with the colour of people's eyese lol. So from this we have decided to do an "All about me" theme next week. So far we will make house collages, let the children cut out their fav toys and foods from magazines and make a collage with them, self portraits.
