Scarlettangel Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hello and good morning!!! I love knowledge and Understanding of the World as its such a vast reaching area............ I suggest working with digital cameras, video recorders, calculators, scanners, printers, washing machines, torches, battery operated toys, email, computers, etc etc Link with other settings............ local, urban, rural and international if you have chance! Let the children know people live in different types of communities Growing plants........ planting cress............. growing carrot tops, plant buls, flowers, vegetables..... As it is so vast maybe it would be good to take a small area at a time? Enjoy, and welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMaz Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have been put in charge of KUW for my setting, so to start off with I would love it if people could give me some cool ideas of what you do in your setting as a starting point. Thanks in advance Welcome to the Forum, Wayne! Great ideas already and I'm sure the list will grow over the next few hours, but I was wondering what sort of ideas your setting has already used?

WazCool Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for all the replies.... the time difference is +7 hours from the UK. Right now the kindergarten have a lot of different areas in the environment such as design area, malleable, etc. I think the one area lacking is IT, they've only just got beebots this year and there is little use of computers. I hope to break out my class laptop at least once a week. The challenge we have here is space, the kindergarten is not that big and has only a small outside area.

Guest Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Learning Focus: CLL Interact with others, negotiating plans and activities and taking turns in conversation. Begin to recognise some familiar words. Describe a simple journey. MD Observe and use positional language KUW Comment on and ask questions about where they live. Notice differences between features of the local environment Activities Walk to the park. Take clip boards to note down observations of the children. Once back in the pre-school room, look at the photos of the route to the park. Can the children put them in order. Use the sheet to draw a picture/map of what they saw on the way or at the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
