surfer Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Looking for inspiration for next terms plans. We have a theme of weather and we have 5 weeks to look at this topic. Not sure what we can do for our role play unless it's a clothes shop. Thought I might do a different type of weather each week but got stuck for a story for Sunny weather - any ideas anyone please?

Andreamay Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 what about pretending to be weather reporters! Im sure there was an article in a mag about it and it looked good fun! Also I remember a story when I was little about the sun and the wind who was the strongest you could role play that. Aswell as the moving to different music for rain,thunder,snow etc pretending to be snowflakes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi Sue - Well, spookily enough (and only if I can get my act into gear in this last week before Christmas), we hope to publish two new topic based articles on Monday/Tuesday, one of which is on Weather! Doesn't have anything specifically on sunny weather, but in any event I thought I'd attach this topic web/mindmap in case it sparked any further ideas!

Susan Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I had a very simple book in my rising five book box called "A sunny day" but have no idea of the author or publisher now. There is a story about Kipper at the beach which the children might be able to relate sunny weather to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thanks Steve and everyone else. Ideas and mind map look good - watched Balamory today( don't ask why!) and they told the Noah's ark story and sang "Animals went in two by two" so I have some ideas to get me started but interested in anymore that anyone has.

Guest Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Thanks Marion for sharing your planning. We have recently adopted this planning format and its great to see it works for you too! Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) Thanks Marion - we use that planning format too. Some good ideas there and a few that I had thought of already! Great minds think alike! I am interested to see that you have separate planning for nursery and reception numeracy and literacy. What format do you use for those? Would you be willing to share?

surfer Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi Marion - thanks for putting those on. We refer to them too but tend to dip into them. Do you use them for your main focus for that half term and then supplement them with topic stuff? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi Marion - thanks for putting those on. We refer to them too but tend to dip into them. Do you use them for your main focus for that half term and then supplement them with topic stuff?Sue 44856[/snapback] Yes we use these to ensure we cover everything over the year but also include language and number activities in topic and area planning. We have a writing area, listening area, and book area aswell as the language work that takes place in other areas such as role play. we also link cross curriculum activities so main language or maths focus for the day may have a topic focus. Next terms topic is weather so we will use this to reinforce the order of days of the week for example. Hope this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Does amyone know of any other very simple weather books. We have two groups of just threes with poor language skills (and some with little English). Thank you everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
