AnonyMouse_5892 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 How about getting the children to write a letter to the 'farm' to ask if they could have some eggs. I am doing caterpillars/butterflies at the mo. I showed the children the Insectlore catalogue and then got the higher abilty writers to write a letter to the head teacher to ask if we could buy them for our class. They had to think of reasons why they wanted them. We then put them into a large envelope 2 children delivered it to the head's office. We have also made flap books to write about the life cycle of a frog, you could do this with the egg/hen life cycle for those who are on letters/single words.

AnonyMouse_34195 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 thanks for those ideas x Am also thinking about continuous provision I can offer - it is so difficult to plan when you don't know the children or classroom or resources Obviously wil put farm small world out - any more creative ideas? Do you think if they have asked me to focus on writing all children should be doing writing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Our interest this half-term has been farming and animals too. Following a visit to our local county council run farm, we have set up a Farmers market with produce, tills, mark making tools, they have made posters with key words, prices of goods. We have now expanded this by having a Farmers cafe, within this they are now making healthy sandwiches from the discussions on produce. Lots of opportunities to mark make, and write, not sure this is any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
