Hello I am an NQT and have an interview coming up for a Reception teacher post. We have been asked to read a Year 1 class a story for 10 minutes, which is fine, followed by an activity for 10 children which can take place inside or outside "allowing the children to explore, ask questions and develop their ability to work in a sustained way" the task needs to also be an "exciting first hand experience". Any ideas are welcome, I ideally would like the story I read to link to the activity but am struggling to think of anything exciting! I did think about reading Jack and the beansgtalk and then doing a maths activity where the children can estimate and then measure th…

Does anyone know of any good resources to support friendship issues. We're experiencing some real upsets around 'best friends' and who likes and dislikes who. I wondered if there might be any books perhaps that we could use to discuss friendships. We've tried endlessly talking about us all being friends but the message is not getting through. Karen x

My class have become fascinated by castles and the middle ages. I was hoping to be able to play them some music from this period, but I don't seem to be able to find any. I'm looking for the sort of music which sounds medieval (does that make sense, using the old instruments like hurdy gurdys and things!) but I can't seem to find any online. Anyone know of any sites with music like this?

Ages ago I read a poem on here that was about school and home working together, that you couldn't have one without the other, the value of both ...I'm sure there was something in it about clay, or moulding children... It's exactly what I need for my parents' workshop but I've done a forum search - a bit too broad, on 'poem' - can't find it and I'm going cross eyed with the number of poems I've read! Can anyone help? Thank you!

I have just been given some money from my parish council so that I can buy a new changing unit for preschool. I would prefer one with steps as some of our littlies are a bit hefty!! Does anyone know where I can get a decent one at a good price. I have £500 to spend so may have to change the idea of having steps but any advice is greatly welcome

I've done a search and found some posts about using wood in the nursery, but I need to know, what wood is best to use, it obviously needs to be soft, what tools are best, where the best resources for small hands can be bought without being 'child sized' specifically and basically any tips about things you've tried and would/wouldnt do again. Its for my tutoring role and since I havent done woodwork for years I'd appriciate your ideas. Thanks folks

Does anybody have any idea where I would be able to find a pretend birthday cake to share in assemblies and such like.
