Inspiration in the rainforest
The read me investigation team report from the depths of a Reading Rainforest in Cheshire to bring you some inspirational ideas for using this term's rainforest theme in your own school.
Letting parents know
If parents come into the classroom to drop or collect their children then Y1 teacher, Miss Hay, has an excellent idea for attracting parents attention. 'A few days before the Book Fair arrives I put a big reminder on my interactive whiteboard which parents can't miss. I give it a rainforest feel to reinforce the theme and do a daily countdown to raise anticipation:
Only 3 days to go!;
The Book Fair will be here in 2 days!;
Nearly here - just 1 day before the Book Fair arrives!;
Hooray!, The Book Fair is in the Hall, open today from 3.15pm to 4pm!'
For parents who don't come into the classrooms, you can do something similar on a flip chart to display in the playground.
