Guest JoBullen24 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hey everyone!! Happy New Year before I start. I have been planning as topic on a few of the Elmer stories and am drying up with fun ideas. I have found a few on here and do have a few of my own but I need some new insproation. I have 'Elmer', 'Elmer and Wilbur', 'Elmer and the stranger', 'Elmer and Rose', 'Elmer and Grandpa Eldo' and a few more. I also want to do some more Science investigations so anything linked would be fab. Thanks in advance for any inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Can only think of one sciency thing - in one of the stories Elmer plays about with echoes I think, or maybe ventriloquism, could the children be encouraged to make the string telephone things we did it a couple of years ago using sturdy plastic cups and string I seem to remember.

jennim Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 That fab site 'communication 4 all' has a brill Elmer pack, full of ideas. We did colour related science work based on the book when all the elephants turned into Elmers! Colour mixing / camouflage. We also used the series to do an author study of David McKee - he has a good site of his own, good luck! Jenni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. I have tried this with another cohort and they loved it. Thanks for reminding me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hfitz12 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I did some work on Elmer with my Reception class last year. It was my first year in EY so I'm not saying it is perfect , but if you want to message me I will email it to you.
