Toy Topic, Help Needed!

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I am new to this forum and could do with a abit of help! I start a new job in September with a group of reception/ yr 1/ yr 2 special needs children and my topic is 'toys'. I would appreciate suggestions of any good ICT/ PE activities that I could do with my children based around this topic. Any other ideas would also be welcome as i'm sure some of you will have covered this topic before .

 

Thanks x

pe you could show them a jack in the box and spinning top and use this to stimulate movement, there was an action song on itv a bit back

 

jack in the box

jumps out of the box

he shakes his head

from side to side

i gently push him into the box

and he closes his eyes and goes to bed

 

or something like that

To add to suebear's idea- I'm going to use this poem in literacy, then get the children to decorate a large box that they can use to be a Jack-in-the-box and going to get the children to film each other doing the different actions in the box to make a video of the poem

When I did this topic we did The Nutcracker- The dance of the toys and this also linked to music. The children took on the role of different toys and danced to the different music composing their own pieces in a group. We gave them costumes (not very elaborate) at the end and they performed in front of their parents. It was lovely and very very Christmassy.

ICT - try these

I've made some power points to go along with my toys topic that I'm going to use in literacy and music lessons with toys as props and get the children to join in with actions etc. You're welcome to share if you think they'll be of any use to you
