   Hi everyone, I have recently become a member and have been very impressed by the support that you all give each other in this forum. Having completed a Foundation Degree in Education with special emphasis on Early Years I am already converted to the benefits of the forum because part of my own study involved participation on line to help, support and share information with fellow students. This is the first time that I have made a contribution to the FsF although I have been reading your 'stuff' for quite some time. I work in a FSU and at the moment we are considering the question of transition of our pupils to YR1. I seem to think that there was a discussion abo…

   HI I work in a pre-school room of a day nursery, our topic at present is Transport, and for our role play area we have a travel agents, however it seems rather sparse,.... we only have lots of travel brochures in there at the moment, a phone, old laptop, pens paper and that;'s about all... what more could we add. Its not a hugely large area (only has one table in it, and a house type front)... but how else can we make it more fun for the children to be in there and to develop there role play (ideally around travel agents/booking holiday's etc....) The children actually love the area as it is,a nd often extend their role play out of it by prtending to be on planes,…

   Does Anybody Know This Game?

   Hi all I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. I have seen a game used with nursery children many moons ago! It is called Mrs Bear's Honeypot but there are probably other variations out there. It is something to do with having to 'steal' a bunch of keys (or other suitably jingly item) from 'mrs Bear', then she has to guess who did it, but I can't remember exactly! I would love to use it in a music lesson I am planning for my next teaching practice (start of June). Hope someone knows what I'm on about!! Lucy xxx
