Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I would like to put up a couple of signs by the water and the sand tray saying how many children can play at a time. I found some on a site a while ago but, being as organised as ever, now can't find them. Just wondering/hoping somone knows where they may have been Many thanks, Jackie.

Susan Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Can you not self regulate? I always think these signs create more problems than they solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Good point Susan, and to be honest I usually find the children know how many are allowed at a time. But it saves them debating it and also I would like more writing about the classroom, though preferably with pictures also! It's probably just as easy to make my own, just trying to find a quicker and easy way! Jackie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 That could be a good reason to have a sign then! But beware overloading your environment with meaningless writing. The children need to be using the print around them for it to be worthwhile, dont they? Have you looked on communication4all? There are good resources for this on the site that shall not be named but I dont know what your personal or school policy are on this one? There is also a new site called twinkl that looks promising but I cant remember what they have content wise. On the other hand, 2 can play here is very easy to reproduce!

Guest Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I saw a lovely idea recently - a simple table, 3 rows, with rows 2 & 3 containing 4 (adapt as neccessary) boxes row 1 - text for example - '4 children can play here' ( insert number as appropriate) Green row 2 - 4 columns each with a simple clip art 'person' attached with a velcro button Red row 3 - 4 empty boxes each with a velcro button. The children move one of the pictures from the green to the red row when they start to play - and hopefully move it back when they have finished . Not only introduces a little writing into the classroom but offers the opportunity for some calculating/problem solving. Does that make sense?

Susan Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Makes sense to me! Maths in the environment too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
