Hello, I'm being observed by my head and deputy next week and the focus is on writing. Apart from the obvious writing xmas lists I'm a bit stuck! I'd ordered lots of xmas stories to try and give me inspiration from the school scholastic book club, only to find out todaytt hey won't be arriving till next Friday at the earliest (the day after my observation!) Grr!! If anybody has any suggestions of stories/great xmas writing activities that have worked for them I'd be very grateful.

Am thinking about changing my role play area. We've got a dark den at the moment but my lot don't seem to be doing much mark making/writing, so I'm looking for something which will encourage them to get a bit more motivated.

Lists of toys fo…

Part of our classes Christmas performance is saying the Christmas pudding poem which goes Into the basin Put the plums, Stir-about, stir-about, Stir-about! Next the good White flour comes, Stir-about, stir-about, Stir-about! Sugar and peel And eggs and spice, Stir-about, stir-about, Stir-about! Mix them and fix them And cook them twice, Stir-about, stir-about, Stir-about!

Hi We've been exploring light and dark with our children, including using candles. I was wondering if anybody could suggest creative or mark making activities using candles that have worked with 3 and 4 year olds such as drawing with a candle and washing over with some sort of paint solution to show the image.

Making Christingles
by Guest- 9 replies

I want to give our children Christingles this year. They won't be making them themselves. Because some are still under 3 I have reservations about using real candles, and just wondered if ayone had come up with an alternative. I thought about candy sticks that look like cigarettes but that's a mixed message. Any ideas, or do you thuink I should go with the candles? Obviously they won't be lit & children would only have them if their parent/carer was ready to collect them.
