Guest Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 BEWARE!!!!!!! I am a very angry nursery nurse!!! I'm frustrated by the way the teacher changes her mind at the drop of a hat! I've just heard today, via a text, that our topic for the next 6 wks has been changed to night and day. I'm just wondering if any of you have used this as a topic for nursery. I'd appreciate any plans you may have.
AnonyMouse_2846 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 it is a lovely topic to do Do you know why she has changed it at such short notice?We would only change or extend a topic if the children had iniated it! Never mind chin up we have done the following sounds in the day/night (theres a lovely story about mr bear who cant sleep cos of the noise cant remeber it at mo) peoples different jobs day/night sun/moon (whatever next or catch me the moon daddy) space/stars routines day/night bedtime stories etc dark/light tents/torches growing cress experimenting putting it in a cupboard and in the light will keep thinking for you Andrea
AnonyMouse_2846 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 i havent any plans as they are kept at school sorry
Guest Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Animals - owls, hedgehogs, bats etc. Why the change? As Andreamay said, if it's child initiated, but it seems s bit late in the day to change plans, if starting tomorrow! Good luck!
AnonyMouse_2846 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 oh yes nocturnal animals is a good one also sense of time
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 You are moving towards Easter so coming up to Spring so 'time' is a good one because the hours of daylight will lengthen. Looking at wildlife and spring growth fits in too - sort of. A good addition to role-play could be some tunnels for underground animals, and you could add torches to fit in with the 'dark/light' part of this theme. I always did this topic coming up to Christmas because it fitted in with light and Autumn celebrations.
Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Sorting clothes for daytime and night-time, then cutting and sticking clothes from catalogues on black paper for pyjamas etc. and light blue paper for daytime clothes.
Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Goodnight Owl is a great story for this topic. I think it's by Pat Hutchins...
AnonyMouse_64 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 There have been various posts about 'light and dark' which you can find from performing a forum search.
