AnonyMouse_2157 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 hi all in need of some inspiration and quick!! Our Nursery have to do a small display board for our main entrance based upon a story from around the world- it needs to be simple and something that we can produce some art work and maybe a bit of emergent writing- my mind is a complete blank- which wouldn't be the first time this week! Any ideas anyone? thankyou in anticipation (oh, Year 2 have already nabbed Handa's Surpirse)
AnonyMouse_79 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Not sure if this fits but how about "Eat up Gemma" http://www.kidslikeme.co.uk/eat-up-gemma-i1043.html
AnonyMouse_73 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 A balloon for Grandad by jane Ray and I cant remember the other person.
Guest Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I love Barefoot Books for multicultural stories eg. Mama Panya's Pancakes or We all went on Safari or what about some poetry - there's some by Benjamin Zephaniah that are funny and appeal to younger children. I've also got a lovely book called Carribean Counting Rhymes by Faustin Charles (have to be read with a carribean accent) If you've got time to tie it in with Chinese new year what about 'The magic Paintbrush' - sorry can't remember who it's by but it's been mentioned on another post

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Cleversticks is a lovely one for Chinese New Year, or Sam and the Lucky Money - which is great for PSE! Or if you are looking for a more african theme, there's Chidi only likes blue, or a Triangle for Aadora here on amazon
Guest Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Tiddalic the frog who drinks all the water in the world is lovely and frogs would fit with a 'spring feel' .There are various versions Tiddalic I think its an aboriginal story or The magic paintbrush by Julia Donaldson (gruffalo) fits with Chinese new year and children producing paintings. Last seen in Tesco's!! Magic Paintbrush
AnonyMouse_2157 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 thanks all- i am off to waterstones to see if I can find any of these. I've used the magic paintbrush before and love it. I also love the pancake one and tiddalik and I completely forgot about cleversticks, i'm sure there is a copy back at nursery- hmmm i feel a display coming on! thanks once again
