Guest Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Just wondered if there were any useful ideas for our Fairy Tales topic we are doing after half term? Does anyone have any plans/ resources they could post or recommend? That would be very helpful. Thanks
Deb Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Sorry don't have any plans but we did prince and princesses before Christmas which was very popular. We chose a different fairy tale each week, we built a castle out of cardboard boxes and painted it pink! Anybody who passes Honiton on their holidays will know the pink castle (well gatehouse really). Children really enjoyed the song 'there was a princess long ago'. great in a circle with lots of role play and actions. We also adapted it for our Christmas play. If I think of anything else will let you know. Deb
Marion Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 We are doing a week of fairytales for World Book Day some ideas so far goldilocks - ordering by size sorting matching activities make porridge PSE right and wrong sing When Goldilocks came to the house of the bears / Three Bear rap Jack & the beanstalk language of size MD current plan is to leave a huge boot outside for the children to discover discuss who it might belong to draw pictures then add other clues to the story (luckily we have a daisy the cow even if she is made of wood) imaginative writting accounts etc CLL plant beans KUW take giant steps climb the beanstalk PD discuss Jack taking the giants belongings PSE build giants castle in block play area Three little pigs make houses from different materials Billy Goats Gruff test bridges Nick Sharratt and Stephen Tucker have produced a lovely set of books all in rhyme offering a slight twist on the traditional tale We are also sequencing stories and retelling using puppets and role play
Guest Posted February 18, 2006 Posted February 18, 2006 I've just finished a 'Once upon a time...' topic for Nursery Rhymes and Traditional Stories.

Guest Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Really enjoyed looking at your plans- thanks for sharing them.
Guest Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Wow! Thanks Moose and Marion, great ideas. Moose those plans are great - I can really get to grips with this now, although I'm a bit worried now about my lack of detail in my own planning. Where do you put the Literacy activities for later on in the day? Do they go on the other plan? Where do you get the time to do all these, they're amazing!! Marion - fab ideas for World Book Day week, thanks. You are all really helpful. Viki
Guest Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 Hi Viki, All my class are in in the morning. The summer borns go home at dinner time. I cover my whole class literacy aspects (drawing my learning intentions from CLL in Curriculum Guidance..., cross-referenced to the objectives in the NLS) in the morning as this tends to form the basis of my topic work. In the afternoon, with the children that remain, we do whole class work, again based around our focus for the week. This may or may not be an element of literacy. Please don't feel freaked by my plans. I have only been teaching for 4 years so am still at the stage where I need to know exactly what I am doing. Plus I'm not naturally spontaneous so can't think of things off the top of my head and also I am slightly (very ) obsessive! If it's any consolation I spend the majority of my time on this site looking at other people's plans and hyperventilating. It's a case of 'what works for you' isn't it? Easy for me to write but much, much harder for me to actually get into my thick head! I'm glad the plans are useful Moose x
