Guest Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Dear all, I've just got a temporary job until half term teaching reception. Firstly, I have never taught reception before (only year 1 and year 2) so this will be quite new and I'm not quite sure how to plan the topic for this half term: minibeasts. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Oh sorry to hear that! What were you needing info on? I am in the middle of minibeasts- actually the tadpoles died today-sniff. So ask me about anything else!! Thanks, I think I just have to get to grips with this forum. We have looked at butterflies, caterpillars, spiders and are now on ladybirds. Rightly or wrongly, we plan and teach seperate numeracy and literacy lessons daily-its how our HT wants us to plan. This week the focus book is The bad Tempered ladybird-thb I dont find it that much fun, but the chn seem to enjoy it. We have discussed our feelings and made mobiles of sad and happy faces and reasons as to why. All I can think of next is maybe to write a letter to the ladybird, but am not sure how to go about this not ever having taught letter writing before. Tadpoles sound fun though-do you have a pond? thanks sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 nad ther is also the resources section of the forum which has topic ideas.. may be of some use.. find it right hand side of page .. resources... topic support form the drop down list.. or click here to go direct to the minibeast one.. Have fun exploring the forum.. it is always a good idea to check the dates on things as often links have changed if they are older posts. If you dont find what you want.. ask.. someone will always be able to point you in the right direction.. Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocisgood Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 We did ladybirds last week, like you similar planning requirements.. We made ladybird simple sums. 2 circles (small paper plate size) 1 red 1 white. children cut red in half and stick black sugar paper spots on each half- their own choice of spots- and split pin onto white base which then has the sum written on. eg 4+1= 5. looked very effective on a washing line display.
