Guest Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Anyone doing anything different apart from easter nests etc. Plus any good ideas anyone used for a literacy focus - just need a bit of a change for the last week.
Cait Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 we are weaving wool to make Easter cards - something like this.
Guest tinkerbell Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 The festivals DVD Easter is a good starting point for giving the children ideas for what they would like to do for Easter.The teacher writes a poem about Easter using the senses to write each line and the children choose what they like to see,hear,taste,touch etc tinkerbell
Freefaller Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Palm Tree parade with children taking turn to be the king on the donkey: "We have a king who rides a donkey and his name is Jesus". The rest of the class use their branches to welcome him into town. Make palm trees out of newspaper. Lay 3 pieces of newspaper on the floor. Roll them up and tape them. Cut up one end in 4 places. Put finger in the “cut end” and hold one piece. Pull other end.
SueFinanceManager Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 In the past have; cut out & decorated egg shapes to make cards/pictures egg hunt - indoors hidden pictures of eggs all around the setting chocolate nests - like rice crispie/cornflake cakes but use big shredded wheat as they look more like twigs and put mini eggs in the nests planted daffodil bulbs....bit late now maybe spring pictures / blossom / tulips / daffodil pics.....use egg box bottoms to make trumpet of daffodil Easter bunny pics / role play - make bunny ears / rabbit hats - basket and cardboard/plastic eggs to collect and deliver....extend by putting numbers on and deliver to numbered doors etc have hot cross buns for snack time chicks...... Oh and a few Easter threads in here Hope some of that helps
