I attending an early years confrence on Patterns of Play, and the guest speaker was showing video clips of children at play. One of the activities was a conveyor belt, made from a long roll of paper 'hooped' aroound a table. This activity was so simple and easy to do, I was amazed it had never occured to me to do it!!
Well we did it this week and the children loved it :D They pulled and pushed the paper and watched as the objects fell into the basket, they then got pens and started to draw onto the paper, and showing delight when it disappeared and came rouond again!
I don't know if the picture i am going to try and attach will work, fingers crossed!

I'm paranoid, but I bet you knew that! How long have you known, who told you I was paranoid?

what a fantastic idea, I'll try that out next week, it would add a whole new dimension to shop role play.

Thank you

I've seen that used to illustrate schemas, but can't remember which one now!

Hi Susan,
The talk was about schemas, and this activity covered nearly all of them :D

Well done Trea -
That makes you a mega member - although it doesn't show up, since you're terribly clever and edited your own member title! :)

Terribly clever in other ways too. You're one of the first to post an illustrative photo! That really makes it come alive, many thanks :)
