FORUM DISCUSSION Day3 SCHEMAs

[sarahcampbell]

Connecting – join train tracks together, build towers with duplo blocks inside and large duplo blocks outside. Threading beads would be a good activity and using anything at the craft table in the way of sellotape and glue.

Enveloping – could use shape sorter toys. In the role play area children could wrap up dolls in blankets and play doctors using bandages to wrap around poorly arms. Craft activities could include wrapping up parcels. Play scarfs can be used to play peek a boo and this could be a musical activity. Layering items like bags hats and necklaces. Building forts and making a tunnel so that they are getting in and under.

What an amazing selection of ideas – well done and keep them coming. I’d be particularly interested to hear ideas on how you can further explore the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines aspect of trajectory scheme. Piet Mondrian, artist, might be an interesting one and could incorporate enclosing.

I’d also be really interested to hear how you develop staff knowledge and understanding. Standard 8 folks!!

Enclosing
Get out the building bricks and build houses.
Tiding up with boxes.

You might also like to look at the SchemaPlay website by OMEP. They have a fantastic activity book: Education for Sustainable Citizenship – think children’s future today!

I will be developing my staff’s knowledge by presenting a power point presentation during a staff meeting 🙂

[Ajames]

Lauren, I hope you’re using all the advice you’re giving on these forums as evidence for standard 8!! Make sure you also include the planning, delivery and outcomes of staff meetings.

[LaurenClay]

Thank you 🙂 my external mentor suggested it today so I will be grabbing some screen shots x

[sarahcampbell]

Connecting
Trains for the train track joining them together, using the happyland land toy cars to join them all together.

Enclosure
Building fences for animals in small world play
Using the duplo to build different constructions
Building different enclosures with the building blocks either for the cars or the animals.

Connection
Joining together – puzzles, rainbow interstar rings

Trajectory
Climbing the ladder of the slide, pouring, kicking, throwing toys… this I associate with those who might be misbehaving
