This includes a lesson graded ‘outstanding’ during our school Ofsted visit and is aimed at Nursery or Reception children. It includes a detailed lesson plan with youtube links and instructions on how to link table top activities to the theme.
The lesson details Teaching Standards it meets and strands such as ‘understanding the world’ in the EYFS.
The carpet activity is 2 children at a time (completed over 2-3 days). Play dough, straw and Lego bricks. Try and build a structure and test which is strongest. Use hairdryer to illustrate effect of wind and blowing. (In line with weather theme of the week). This will also clarify tomorrows story ‘The 3 little pigs’, and help them understand why two of the pigs houses have blown down. The story will be a theme during the whole week and presented differently each day to try and reach all types of learners and needs required by the pupils. Individual assessment conducted as activity occurs.
Top tip, be sure to pause and narrate/ask questions during youtube clips so children are forced to think more.
Enjoy!
