Susan Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Seems to be an awful lot there, do you manage to respond to the children's interests too?
Guest Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 How do you manage plants and animals with 2 other topics? I'm struggling to fit plants and animals into 1 half term on its own. Thanks for all of the ideas for topics though-very useful. jo
Guest Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 That is very general medium term planned topic. We always put the interests of children as a priority, and these are flexible and dipped into rather than rigourous coverage!
Marion Posted June 6, 2006 Posted June 6, 2006 I only have our 1st year of the 2 year cycle available (had to cut n paste from the web site) but will get 2nd year when Im at school. Like yours it is very flexible to fit in with the children but gives a general idea where we might go. Topic_1st_year_cycle.doc

Guest Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Thanks for the topic cycles Marion we are now having to set up a three yr cycle For Foundation and Ks1 to use starting in Sept. they have been a great help to me too! Can I be really cheeky and ask if you have any form of med term planning or suggestions for activities for water,materials and change and toys& games. Thanks Tia
