Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi and welcome. Sorry not much help as we have decided not to use MTP any more in foundation. We are starting with an overall theme and then letting the children lead the way. The head is even more confused now than ever, probably wishes he'd never asked me to be foundation leader!

Susan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi Shellc5 and welcome. I would start with a story or a rhyme but dont have any ideas for you, sorry. Why have you chosen this topic, that might give you some pointers as to the way in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 You could start with Old MacDonald as a theme. Also the website on CBeebies 'Come outside' has a farmyard game where the children have to direct a plane to different parts of the farm and do activities which are mainly click and drag such as put the apples in a basket, milk the cows, feed the hens,etc. Also you could do a theme on farm vehicles tractors and ploughing machines,Tractor Tom website has jigsaw game, animal game and painting game. Mother animals and baby animals is a good one to do as well, matching and naming them. Small world farm play with farm mats. Animal masks and free paintings, playdough animals. Hope these ideas are helpful PS You can adapt the song The Wheels on the Bus to....The cows in the barn go moo,moo,moo,; the rooster on the fence goes cock-a doodle-do;the ducks in the pond go...; the hens in the coop go cluck,cluck,cluck; the pigs in the pen go ... and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sparklebox has some farm resources, although none of them appear to be freebies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
