Customer Reviews

Superb resource!
This is a superb resource for those working in both Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. The book is aimed at making connections for developing knowledge and skills across the curriculum through creative ideas, each of which are linked to the early learning goals and the National Curriculum attainment targets. It is jam packed with ideas which would be invaluable for early years practitioners and those in Key Stage 1, both on a day to day level and for developing a more creative curriculum.

It is written in clearly defined sections for a range of construction ideas (eg using twigs, recycled materials, fabric, ribbon, wooden bricks, pebbles etc) each of which is laid out in a user-friendly style. There are lots of superb weblinks too to develop ideas and planning.

I know I am going to use this book time and time again, not just for continuing to use ideas from the foundation stage curriculum in my Year 1 class, but to find creative and innovative solutions to developing curriculum ideas.
