Guest Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 They are reception age. Ive got a space theme really......from 'whatever next'. I was trying to think of how i could best use it. What sorts of things to put on it. I thought of transparent coloured shapes, tissue paper...but thats all really. I have stars in sand to find/count. Glitter in water and catch stars in nets. black/glitter dough. Small world space buggy/alien in space environment .....rocks/sand/glitter/sequins?????? rocket in role play etc. Any other ideas appreciated.

AnonyMouse_2846 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 we are covering space and whatever next but we are a pre-school.We have planned a rocket for the wall 54321 on it for no.recognition,whatever nextroleplay,then later on in week a space station/rocket letting them make theri own rocket out of a big tall box we have just providing materials and enc them to write numbers for it there is a brilliant song on a sticky kids tape called zooming to the moon but if you havent that you could role play going to the moon.making smaller junk rockets again making sure we have opportunity for them to write numbers on sticky labls to put on their rocket.we will have a number line on the table and pencil and lables etc it is always one that gets the childrens imagination so Im sure you will be fine you know We havent planned for the end of the week cos we usually see where it takes them. But we have made star biscuits before now.oh and we usually do star and moon pictures on black paper talking about the full moon and crescent moon etc Good luck im sure someone wil be along to help with the ligt box Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4761 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Good luck with Ofsted. Lots of deep breaths. Re. the light box I am afraid I cannot help only to say that if you do not feel comfortable with knowing what you are doing with it then I should do something else for this week. There are lots of brilliant ideas been posted here already for you. The added stress of new equipment is not what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) Could you use black paper to create an "observatory" type effect ..........constellation shapes punched into the paper and different coloured cellophane to represent different stars? or how about a full moon and cover to show new moon half moon etc. Edited November 12, 2007 by Marion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7110 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 When I did 'Whatever Next' for an observation we had a box outside with boots, an owl and a calander and some toy food. It was really easy to put together and the children loved acting out the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was doing this mini-theme when we had Ofsted in 18 months ago. I have attached my plans if you would like them. Good luck - you'll be fab! week_2.doc week_3.doc week_2.doc week_3.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Good luck! I gave my children acetate and overhead projector pens - they loved writing their names and drawing pictures on the acetate over the top of the light box - a different look at an everyday thing.
