Guest Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Hello Guys I have an interview at a setting and I'm really stuck for ideas. I have to read aStory and then plan from that for the indoors and outdoors. I was thinking about 3 little pigs, where the children can design their own pigs As puppets. But I'm stuck on planning for other areas. I think I will read the story outdoors, (weather permitting) as that will cover planning for the outdoors, but I don't know what else to do. The age of the children are 2-4 years olds.. Please help, the interview is next Tuesday Thanks in advance Edited February 5, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 We are going to start planning from books (along with individual needs :1b :1b ) after the half term. We have looked at 'what the ladybird heard' as it's got a wide range of activities that you can take from it - when we all [staff] looked at it together there was so much inspiration for starting/introducing experiences. How long is the interview? I would say keep it simple, and be prepared to adapt activities - making puppets maybe a little ambitious if you do not know the children's abilities - and you are a new person to them so they may not want to join in -if this happens DO NOT take it personally :1b , just be prepared to quickly adapt and change direction and revert to plan B Play dough is always a 'safe activity' - there is no 'end product' so children will always [mostly!] come and join and chat away whilst playing. Lots of skills used, and it can easily cover all seven areas of learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_1469 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've not heard of 'Lucy's story' before, and at the prices being charged for it on Amazon and ebay, we won't be getting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We have a series of articles on using stories as a starting point for activities, eg Owl Babies, The Fish who could wish, The Gruffalo, Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs, etc. You can find them here. They might help :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also add huffing and puffing outside to see their breath (I'm sure it'll be cold enough!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
