Guest Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Hi everyone, I am thinking about planning for Sept with my first reception class in about 10 years!! Head teacher wants me to work closely with NQT in Yr1/2 class-like a unit. Anyway, we are going to do same topics, different skills, levels etc and different titles-she is going with "All About Me" but I would like something a bit more exciting than "Ourselves"- brain not working and can't think of anything. Any good ideas? Thanks in advance Moisy xx
Guest Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 my special world, my world, I am great beacuse I can....
Guest tinkerbell Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I know what you mean Moisy I have always started the year off with 'ourselves' and I am a bit fed up with it ...I was thinking more about 'me and you' or 'we are all the same but can be different'! I would like to look beyond the classroom and get some multi cultural activities in diversity stuff ,Barnaby Bear is on our long term plan and I was wondering about him linking in to children around the world ??? handas surprise....tasting different fruits ?? one of our little boys will be getting hearing aids... My mind is a whirl I am still thinking .. Tinkerbellx
Guest Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 You guys are great! You always have some fantastic ideas-I like the link with children around the world tinkerbell and "I am Special"-what a lovely title. Thanks again Moisy xx
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 Perhaps you could call it " We are all special " and look at differences and similarities and link it to people around the world and/or "disabilities"
Guest Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 We link to the y2 topic of teeth and food and do 'My body and healthy eating'.
Guest Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 WE ARE ALL SPECIAL is such a lovely title instead of OURSELVES. I am starting off with this topic in Spetember & was thinking how dull the title OURSELVES is, but could not think of anythin g short & catchy. I always have catchy titles for our different topics, but was struggling with this one, so thanks! It can cover so many differnt areas as well.
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Hi Laura and welcome. I think We are all Special is a really good title for a theme at the start of a new year. It links itself well with circle time and getting to know each other, and also if you are beginning to work towards a more child initiated approach, as Sue R describes in her blogs, it give you something to start with and work from.
Guest Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks everyone, I'm with Laura and going with "We are all Special"-what a great message to give to a new group of school children. Thanks again. Moisy xx
Guest Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Hi, As a new member of this site, I found it so helpful, and you are all so nice. I am an NQT and have a Reception class in September, I have picked up some great ideas, and this being one of them. 'We are all special' is a great message to start the term with and can encompass so many things, like you said Moisy. Thanks everyone!
