•Schemas
please, thank you:blush:

[sarah32]

Outside play all year long please:)

[Minstrel]

I would choose Outside play all year long. I really don't make enough of my outside space and is certainly the area of my setting which could do with the most improvement.

[sweets]

i would buy outside play all year long as this is something i struggle with, encouraging the children to go out. i dont think i have made my outside space appealing enough

[kindredspirits]

i would choose play for under 3's.

[butterfly]

music and rhymes - that is our focus to improve speech and language

[madison]

outside play, as really need to use more of the space I have availabale

[francinejayne]

I would choose M28 - Monitoring Children's Progress.

I have bought a few of Sarah's books and they are all great - this would fill a gap in my knowledge.

[Bushpig]

'People who help us' ...

As part of teaching the children about safety when out and about, and not talking to strangers etc. I think it's crucial they know who they CAN talk to if they need to.

It also makes them appreciate those who help others... and is a life lesson that helping others is GOOD :thumbsup:

[julie w]

Play for under 3's I think (difficult choice though) You can never have too many ideas for activities for under threes.:D

[beccas]

sef one ....

[flowerpots]

i would choose the group planning one cos this is something i struggle with :D

[Alibali]

baskets and bags, to give me some more ideas

[Beetlejuice]

Schemas please - I can see that a child has a particular favourite way to play/toys to play with but can't relate it to anything as lack the knowledge to link it :o

[Playmate]

Play for under 3's because I need inspiration :D

[clio0602]

•Favourite books

I love books have 100's and would like to add some more :D

[porky1979]

Outside Play all year long - as i do struggle with outside ideas especially in the colder months :)

[Tam's Tribe]

Music and Rhymes . . . I believe music is good for the souls . . . for little and big people!!!

[Twinkles]

I would choose transport as it is one that I don't have any planning on.

[mama2three]

I would love the ebook on Schemas as its an important area i am unsure of. As a new childminder it would also be a great intro to Sarah's ebooks.

[mum22]

[jacey]

[lena]

Hello, If I were to win one of Sarah's great books, I would like the playing outside Ebook.

I care for three under 3's and believe they learn so much through outside play.

This book would guide me in new ways to help my children gain confidence in themselves and become more motivated to try new things.

Lena xx

[AnnieM]

Definitely Schemas, :) I was due to go on a schemas training course, but it was cancelled due to the bad weather last month. :(

[Helcatt]

It has to be

"schemas"

It is an area that I observe with the 2 x 2yo but I am limited on ides on how to help them develop further

[grindal]

[missymood]

Play for the under 3's as there are so many things children love to do but being a newbie would love to be inspired;0)

[tidsy tots]

out side play all year long because i think too many children stay indoors all day playing on computers. and i think alot of them have lost the ability too use there imagination and enjoy playing out doors:idea:

[tiger79]

"Music & Rhymes" pleeeeease! :clapping:

[a3human]

Oooh...... • Play for under 3s :excited:

PPPPLLLLLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEE

Great new website Sarah!

[It's a small world]

Music and Rhyme - mindees really getting into music now and doing different things to music or making music.

OR

Schemas have noticed mindees are sachemas and think it will be good to put in their books but need a little help on it...


LOVE Sarahs books..just wish I had more money to buy them:blush:
