Hi all, we are planning a date for our Long term Planning meeting for the next academic year, and as we gradually move towards planning for the children's interests etc. we don't feel fully confident just yet at letting go of the 'themes' which we have based our planning around in the past. I know it will take time, and we are moving in the right direction (thanks to help from this wonderful site) just wanted to ask for some inspirational ideas. Basing on the children's own interests for next year - the children are still quite young at the moment(2.5 - 3yrs) and really enjoy role play home corner, cuddly toy animals and singing time. Next year these will be our eldest c…

Hi Next term we are going to be working within a jungle theme. We are thinking of tring to work from a key story each week and following the childrens interests onwards. I was wondering whether anyone has some favourite stories around the jungle theme that they feel would work particularly well. We have already planned some work from Rumble in the Jungle. Any favourite songs around the theme would be useful too.. Thanks for your help! Elfy x

I have been really interested in the tuff spot ideas posted on this forum. I hadn't heard of a tuff spot but realise its exactly what we have been looking for. Up until now we have used water trays and even an old cardboard box to make a dinosaur environment. I have a meeting on Thursday with other lead teachers from my group of schools and would like to recomend we order some from the UK. I would love some photographs to show the endless possibilities using a Tuff spot. I have seen the photo from Mookie, does anyone else have some i could show? - i promise to credit them to you. Thx
