AnonyMouse_5677 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Hi As a foundation unit we are lucky enough to have been given some money from the school association to buy some books for the classroom. I have managed to find a few examples of 'core book lists', but am also convinced I have previously seen a list of books to stimulate outdoor play, such as Edward goes exploring and jasper's beanstalk. Does anyone know where I can find a list like this? I would also be interested to see anyone elses list of core books to see how it compares to what I have got... Thank-you in advance Elfy x
AnonyMouse_7610 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Hi Elfy, I have a good list but its at school... will put it on here tomorrow!
AnonyMouse_7610 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Ah now I have looked again at my list I realise it is more grouped into themes - transferrable to outside though! heres a selection: Treasure Hunt - A Ahlberg We're going on a lion Hunt - D Axtell The Feather - D Cleeve The Elephant Tree - P Dale Billy's Bucket - K Gray Out and About throughout the Year - Shirley Hughes Harry and the bucket full of dinosaurs - I Whybrow Camping Out - H Amery Hiding - S Hughes Hope that is of some help
AnonyMouse_8914 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 We have outdoor bags in themes e.g. windy day one has things you could do on a windy day (windmills, bubbles etc) and also books e.g The Windy Day, Book on Weather. Another one is on minibeasts that includes different dressing up outfits (bee, butterfly, ladybird) some masks, minibeasts for hiding etc and different books on minibeasts. We find that they work really well and are easy to source at short notice and have visual aids to support the theme/idea. Depends what sort of play you are trying to stimulate? Denisse
