Guest Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebear Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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 http://www.topicbox.co.uk/browse.php?item_...&topic=Toys http://www.topicbox.co.uk/browse.php?item_...&topic=Toys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 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 Here_Comes_the_Train_PP.pptx Jack_in_The_Box_PP.pptx Teddy_Bear_Teddy_Bear_PP.pptx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
