   We're having a clinic as our structured play and want to link to the over all topic Our Senses. Doing a sense a week so will look at eye test chart the week we do sight. Any other ideas? Having the usual bed, doctor and nurses uniforms, bandages, medical kit, babies, scales but any new ideas for resources/role play would be much appreciated. Want to get each child to make a medical card so they can be stored alphabetically when they play patient/receptionist but with there being 77 children not sure of an easy way to do this. They found it really difficult using index cards when I just had my 30 reception. ????????????????

   Well it's nearly time to go back to work and my brain has started to switch away from holiday to work mode. My new topic is 'Moving Things' and so my science is about Forces etc. I'm at a real loss of any inspiration, especially as my topic next half term is about Toys. Anyone got any inspiration? I teach in a special school for kids with SLD/PMLD and I have a Y2/3 class working at P2-6/7 so all you 0-3 lot as well as FS guys would be a great help! Thanks in advance! Nich xx
