Dismantling Stuff!
by Guest- 3 replies

Brought this up on a topic about safe use of scissors but thought I'd start a topic as others may not have done it or may have more advice or suggestions. During a major clear out I had a scanner, a keyboard, a stereo and a clock that were all non-working. I cut off any wires to reduce risk of strangling or (more likely IMO) tripping accidents! I put them on a table with a selection of adult sized screwdrivers (only because we don't have any child sized ones!). Initially I sat at the table and asked children to find screws to undo and to find the screwdriver that fitted. Some children did it purely by trial and error - stabbing a screwdriver into various place…

Musical Help Please

I have a child in my setting who is on the autistic spectrum. Our Early Years SENCO has said we need to promote , if I do this then this will happen and Im using music as he reacts well to music such as I play a tune on the CD for tidy up time and hes happy to be amongs the rest of the group and actually does tidy up. To set up his routines I need to find specific music and wondered if anyone knows of any Welcome songs, or Good morning songs, so he may come to register - have trawled the internet but not getting very far. Are there any well known music sites you use Or will be grateful for any advice you can give me Thank you

Hi everyone I am not the most confident of people when it comes to music activities - think it all stems back to being told i was no good at it at primary school by 1 'lovely' teacher!! Here i am sitting trying to plan for the next half term and am flying with all elements apart from some inspiring music activities My theme is Jaspers Beanstalk (growing) and am in desperate need of some ideas for music activities for my reception class Any ideas great fully received Thanks Sarah xoxoxoxo

Ok, so we've been given the theme at work for our large corridor which the whole school contributes to. The theme is spring and so far one of the more able classes have sponge printed flowers onto the windows which look fantastic. I've got a board space to cover or I can hang things from the ceiling. What can I do?!?
