Guest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 How about... Where's my teddy (Jez Alborough) - great for scale, My mum and dad make me laugh (Nick Sharratt)- all about spots and stripes, My Presents (Rod Campbell)- guess what is inside the present; possible starting points. Where's my teddy might make an interesting story to make sound effects(loud/quiet, low/high?) and a bit of dance. Do you have those PE mats with shapes on? - not a very original idea but I always use them to reinforce shape recognition - jump over triangles, crouch on squares etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi joules, Recently used ' Harry and the Robots' by Ian Whybrow & Adrian Reynolds The story provided lots of shape and size comparative language. We made our own robots from junk materials., and in P.E explored moving like robots and following instructions from each other - using positional language. Also Foundation Express- music scheme has a section on robots. This book was a huge success and was a hit with both girls and boys and I will use it again. Hope this helps.

AnonyMouse_79 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well, this is going to be competely off track but how Sue, does rats in your sister nursery keep you away from the computer??? Rats at home I could understand but rats in the workplace and not even the one you're usually at??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi there, Susan! Well, it's a long story, but basically I was asked to help out, extra days, longer hours etc (not that I minded, as I used to work there - it was lovely seeing all my little friends again ), but my husband wanted his piece of me (so to speak!!) as well, so I neglected the pc a bit. Still, I'm back now, so it's back to normal! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
