Guest Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi I've had a request for this (short) half terms roleplay area to be a fishing area (I'm linking to minibeasts through 'The Pond'.) Has anyone got any new ideas- particularly for child choice PSED???? We will have tadpoles and a small tray of pond water to explore (diving beetles etc hopefully!) What would you offer for child choice? I try to offer a new activity either indoors or outdoors for each AOL. I've attatched a sample of my CC planning! Many thanks- I'm almost brain strained now; should probably go to bed! Rach 2.5.11_continuous_provision.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fay Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sounds exciting, I love pondipping, Just a word of warning and I apoplogise if you know this:- Quite a lot of pondlife can fly - eg, beetles, water boatmen and pondskaters, so if your tray gets too warm they may fly off. If you are bringing your tray in on a daily basis for a short while you should be fine but I wouldn't leave it in the classroom, a tank with oxygenating plants would be better. Also great diving beetles, water boatmen and larger dragonfly larvae can bite/sting. I have never had a child that's been bitten I think like bees they only bite/sting when threatened, but I have always been careful to warn children and teach them proper netting techniques and used plastic spoons to move the animals between trays. Ideas - sorry I haven't any to hand at the moment have you looked in minibeasts in the resources section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
