AnonyMouse_1195 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I don't think you can beat The Foundation Stage Teacher in Action by Margaret Edgington.
AnonyMouse_79 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Agreed Jackie, I think that is an excellent source and I reviewed it for the book review section! Very easy to read and answers most questions.

Guest Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Hi Clare. It might sound really obvious, but the actual Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage has some good ideas and advice. Clare
Guest Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 thanks all, ill see if i can get them to have a read.
AnonyMouse_3401 Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I have to agree with the previous posts and add Helen Bilton's Outdoor Play in the Early Years it covers all you asked for, and the theory and the practice but is still accessible, easy to read and inspiring. Sharon
