We are in the middle of a complete planning overhall as we feel that we are doing far to much paperwork . We are a small team of 5 including myself as manager . Each staff member has an average of 19 key children as I am not in the room often enough to work closely with the children .

Hi I'm in nursery and my mind has gone blank- yet again. We've go such a mix of ages from 3 -4 as we take them on their 3rd birthday with no cut off so I need an easy to manage yet impressive lesson on maths but linked to spiders. Any suggestions, my thoughts were rolling a dice (2 for more able) and placing that number of spiders on the web. Any other ideas?
