How_To_Make_A_Pentagon_Den.docHave posted this on the general topics forum and also the patterns one but it seems quite popular so I've put it here too!!! I recently went on a course entitled 'VISUAL ARTS INSPIRED BY REGGIO EMILIA'. It was simply amazing and I'd like to share a fantastic activity with you. With any luck I've successfully attached it to this post! If not let me know. Its a pentagon den which you can make on any scale using anything from art straws to 8ft bamboo canes (did this, wouldn't recommend it for a fist though!!) They are really easy to make once you get the gist of it and the opportunities are endless!! I dare you to make one!! …

Hello I have another interview coming up for a reception teacher. I have been asked to look at the reading aspect of the FSP and plan a lesson for 30mins max for 10 children. I was thinking maybe reading a story and having the end page blank. I could ask the children what part of the story is missing? We will discuss the type off book, title, author etc as I am reading. The children could then work with partners or in groups and come up with an alternative ending (in case they know the story I choose). If anyone has any better ideas they would be much appreciated! Thanks

Good morning everyone I would really be interested to hear about what you give as leaving gifts to the children starting school in September. We have given various books; even used the Mister Men and Little Misses using the character name to relate to the character of the children, (Mr Bump for the accident prone child!). Also t-shirts with photo of the group of children leaving. The thing is my brain has gone blank and I want to try to come up with very differing ideas for the coming years as we have lots of siblings getting the "same old ........." as the older child had. I think I am wanting to surprise the parents as much as the children but would…
