Guest Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hi all, Missed you (computer was down & out) Has anyone got some good educational links for IWB re: bonfire night suitable for Reception? Inter active games etc. ? (tired NQT who admits they haven't looked on www yet - pc sorted .... but functioning v...e...r...y..slowly!) Skylight
AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hi Skylight trythis! There have been some other threads too if you try a search. Hope all is going well.
Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Have you tried the 'welephant' website? Not looked at it this year but used it last year for a lovely story and colouring picture. A friend of ours who is a fire safety officer in the local fire brigade also recommends one called firekills.gov (hope that's right) apparently there are units for different year groups,. Also the Tweenies website usually put something on there too at this time of year. http://www.welephant.co.uk/ http://www.firekills.gov.uk/ http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/Guy.html Edited October 28, 2006 by Guest
AnonyMouse_6324 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I have found some rocket counting activities on the northumberland ngfl. but cannot get link to work. Try http://ngfl.northumberland.gov.uk/maths/default.htm then click on fireworks!
Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Just tried your link leapfrog and it worked! Thank you
Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks everyone, Pc definiately has something still wrong as all links seem to take forever to change - so having info. to go straight for it a big help! Will get a better browse tomorrow at school (and hope my ICT friend can come and visit me soon!!) All the best Skylight Thanks Susan .. I saw that earlier in a search and looking forawrd to using it as I thought it was great. I had a really inspirational drama tutor on the PGCE & it brought back some recall of his techniques! (poor brain is somewhat fried and functioning short term!!) Just one general question to everyone ... is there any particular reason for the tradition of treacle toffee or black peas in relation to bonfire night? Thinking of incorporating peas into the cooking side of things!
Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Here's a good historical site that might help answer your questions: http://www.guy-fawkes.com/FactsBehindTheLegend.html The peas seem like a regional tradition depending where you live. An old pagan tradition was blackening a piece of cake/biscuit over the bonfire to symbolise sacrifice, so whether the black treacle/peas originated from this I don't know
Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks Kermitt Great sites / have had to look in the end as trying to plan etc. (just need some oil for my 'machine' to go a bit quicker!)
AnonyMouse_79 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Never heard of black peas! You learn something new everyday and there was me thinking Id been around long enough to know it all!!!
