Thank you for visiting Nursery World and making use of our archive of more than 35,000 expert features, subject guides, case studies and policy updates.I would be challenging children to think is that ‘can’t’ as in ‘you’re not allowed to’ or ‘can’t’ as in ‘it’s simply not possible? Encourage the children to vary the pitch and tone of their voice as they rehearse to emphasise the rhyming words, e. Children will enjoy the silliness of this book and the familiar font and layout will naturally draw some children to it – it looks very much like a Lauren Child ‘Charlie and Lola’ picture book. We Can’t Take An Elephant On The Bus by Patricia Cleveland-Peck a great KS1 text for your transport topic. Thank you for the parent responses offering to attend our Shepreth Wildlife Park trip on 13th March.

Yellow Challenge: looking at a scene from our story Spots or Stripes and writing our noun phrases “stripey tiger”, “spotty leopard”, etc. The aspect of this book that captured my attention more than anything else were the exciting possibilities of using it to challenge children’s philosophical thinking. In the afternoon of that day, all 300 children and our team will form a human rainbow at the entrance to our school. Our focus this week has been what makes a good pet, we have learnt that there are many animals that would not make a good pet. Children discuss which vehicles they have tried; they share their reason for travelling and describe how it felt.

I think it’s important that children think about the rules that are in place, and consider the reasons why they are there. Next week the focus will be extending our vocabulary related to wild animals, describing patterns in nature and length, reading the story: Spots or Stripes? We have been learning to use positional language as well as giving directional commands using an app on the iPads. Invite children to select their favourite and to use because to provide a reason for their opinion, e. The story gives us some ideas as to why we can’t but I would want my children to think of some of the cause/effect reasons for themselves.
