Beau Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Try this topic for a few ideas. Others may have more to add.
Guest Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Thanke so much for all of your ideas. After half term we are going to operate as a FS unit as a trial run before September, so I am going to experiment with planning through stories too.
Guest Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Hi there Reading the discussion with interest! I wanted to ask, though, would anyone be willing to attach any of their plans for developing a topic from some of the books mentioned to help get me started? (I'm relatively new to this, and not very good at planning!) G.
Guest Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I am so pleased I found this site, what great ideas you guys have, thanks ever so for sharing them. I have so many new things to try, I'm not sure how I will fit them all in I would be interested in plans for Pre-school linked to the areas of learning based on a book too. Thanks Aunty
Guest Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 OOh, just found the link to this. I am VERY interested in any plans that anyone might have. I have decided to do Elmer when all the children are in, I have even brought a little plastic elephant home to paint up in colours ready for the start. I thought if we had one painted elephant and a bunch of grey ones it would be great for the tuff spot! Stick in some grass, and bits of tree in plasticine and what a small world!
Guest Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I am hoping to do a journeys topic through stories - Start with whatever next, walking through the jungle, the train ride, a non fiction book called come and visit the moon.... and any other suggestions would be appreciated - come up against a bit of a blank Sarah xoxoxo
Sue R Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Hey. Tracey, Sounds great! Let us know how it goes Sue
Guest Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Today's issue of Nursery World has a great supplement all about working with books with planning links etc. Not read it all yet but it looks incredibly helpful for people wanting to arrange topics around books. Jane

Guest Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 OOh, just found the link to this. I am VERY interested in any plans that anyone might have. I have decided to do Elmer when all the children are in, I have even brought a little plastic elephant home to paint up in colours ready for the start. I thought if we had one painted elephant and a bunch of grey ones it would be great for the tuff spot! Stick in some grass, and bits of tree in plasticine and what a small world! We did a whole term earlier this year, around the time of World Book Day, with a different story each week and activities that linked. A good one for making Elmer using the top half of a 4 pint plastic milk bottle. Turn it upside down, the handle becomes his trunk, decorate with small squares of coloured paper, eyes and a tail. The children all made their own and they were used for story telling and smalll world play etc.
