Must Have Resources For A Reception Classroom

[Guest]

Just been told i can spend some money in a under resourced reception classroom and i wondered what resources could you not do without in your classroom and if you had a wish list what would you add to it? thanks ger

Must have a tuff spot and a paint drying rack

Individual whiteboards and pens!

 

paper, paints and pencils etc.

[Marion]

Any areas that are particularly under resourced?

 

If you have lots of money I would get some Community Playthings blocks.............and whatever you buy don't forget storage!

I completely agree with the community playthings blocks.................a must have in any setting, and as many as you can possibly afford.They will send you a free dvd too, explaining what children gain from block play, and it's extremely interesting viewing. I have a trolley full of them, plus several large hollow blocks....and i wish i could afford to double at least, what we have.They also make small ones for use on table tops, we shall be buying some of those in the new year.

sorry forget that entry.

 

It's a builders tray, I have several in diff shapes and sizes, but as I hadn't heard that name I thought it was a new 'must have'
