Big I.D.E.A. Planners provide you with Interactive Discussions and Engaging Activities. This editable planner contains a collection of activities and discussion points, including possible resources you can use, to provoke discussion and promote higher order thinking skills. Many of the activities follow the Talking and Thinking Floorbooks Approach.
This planner will investigate Technology, Design and Engineering through the use of an every day object familiar to children: spoons!
Along with the activities and discussions, the planner includes possible ideas which you can explore and also states a number of curricular links and key skills which the activities promote. There is also space for you to note down any possible lines of development and your next steps or activities.
This plan will be most relevant to practitioners, teachers, trainee teachers, child minders and home educators.
This is a plan and does not include photographs, signs or labels. It is not an A-Z plan but a tool to help you develop lesson plans, key skills, and possible lines of development.
