   Hi - really need some inspiration - I need an activity for children to do as a follow up to the carpet session. It needs to be for small groups of children and not take too long as we work with 2 groups of children in the session and only have about 15 minutes or so with each group. We made simple clocks last time but this required too much adult support and i wanted something that the children can complete by themselves. Hopefully someone will have brilliant ideas Thanks

   I am being observed by our head and deputy on monday and the focus of their observation is questionning. For the lesson which they are observing will be a literacy activity on Jack and The Benstalk in which children will be making wanted posters in order to capture the giant. My main questioning will come in the ten minute input before we make the posters. I am really worried about the questionning part as i am not sure what type of questions i can ask any ideas will be very very gratefully received. Thanks Lola

   This is my topic next half term and I am struggling with planning ideas. I have searched the forums and found some odd bits. The Hamilton Trust topic looks good but I don't want to have to pay £28+ for it. Does anyone have any inspiration for me? Thanks.
