JacquieL Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Birthdays are a colourful celebration and with christmas coming up which is about a birthday you could lea form general birthdays into waiting for a specail child and go into Christmas. What a lovely topic title. sorry about the typos one hand moves faster than the other and i keep getting reversals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Could the role play be a party shop- the children make cards/paper/gifts/boxes, etc to sell? Decorate with streamers/balloons? Or maybe a house set for a celebration -where they need to make party food and set table- choose cloths/counting crockery etc? My class have really enjoyed the original home crner for the whole of the last half term and have got lots out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I found out these lesson plans. They are related to the celebrations theme you are planning for. Hope they are useful.

catma Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Unfortunately I think you'll have missed Diwali, but Eid (end of Ramadan) and Hannukah also happen before the end of term. Both have celebratory similarities and differences which can be explored to work towards the cultures and beliefs aspects of PSE and KUW.
