Summer theme planning (not holiday related)

[rainbowmummy]

Well I thought this would be easy but how wrong was I?????:o Everything seems to be related to holidays in some way I am want to cover that as a seperate topic...

I have so far
KUW - What happens to the weather / What happens to the weather in other countries during our summer time / whats different from spring and autumn
CLL - :idea:
PSRN - How to keep cool in the sun / freezing and melting water
Creative - :idea:
Physical - Sun safety
PSE - :idea:

Any help will be very gratefully received. I am blaming the heat on my inability to think today :D

You could cut out pictures of shorts, skirts, hats, sun glasses, t-shirts etc and draw a person on to paper for the children to dress in summer clothes. Talk about the different clothes we wear for summer compared to winter. You could make a fruit salad of summer fruits. Ummmm............. still thinking!

I think I have enough to keep the kiddies entertained for a few days now :laughing: it always stuns me how things progress in a different way once they get involved anyway!!
