Default What can I do???? Any ideas?

Hi guys,

I have my last observation Friday :jump:, yay I have to do two activities.
One about transitions, so I am doing a new baby, as we have lots of pregnant mummies.

The second which I am stuck on , is an activity that maintains SHARED THINKING. I am a bit stumped as to what to do?

I would really appreciated any ideas, .

Thank you. x

Hi, a constructive/building activity in soil/sand/water with digging, pouring, compacting, turning out, joining, uncovering, collecting hide & find resoures are all good for sustaining the shared thinking associated with discovery and investigation.

What goes where, how, what happens, will it fit, big, small, tight, loose ..

This publication on praticalpreschool 'Using projects to sustain shared thinking has good reading as does the project approach to early years provision on amazon

Hth, best wishes xx

Thank you for your reply. I will have to get my thinking cap on.

We have a lovely large sand pit sunken into the ground that my husband built, so I will try and think of something to do in that.

Hummmm!!!

Well I had my LAST observation Friday , It went well.

I ended up doing a gardening activity for my shared thinking.

We planted sunflower seeds, bulb can't remem what, and marigold plants. Did they have gardens, what they see around, what plants need to grow and what we need (food/water etc). What the soil was like, what the seeds and bulbs felt like. Did they think they would grow into big or small plants, as big as a house!!! etc etc.

PHEW. Assessor said it was lovely, very well done.

Two professional discussions left and then I have FINSHED THE WHOLE COURSE :jump::jump::jump:
