hello all u very helpful people, i have my pre spec next week wondering if any 1 has any ideas on how i can make my setting more multicutural??

Thanks you

print off pics on the pc

grab books from the library

garb a copy of the religious festivals put them up next to your usual calendar so she can see you are aware of them

have a list of things you intend to buy once registered such as dolls, hand puppets, role play costumes,

I'm brain dead someone else will be in with more ideas for you, also check out the mutlicultural resources here in the forum

Anything thats not British or English so a few ideas:

multicultural faiths - just names of

Festival dates though the year

British Sign language alphabet www.theequaloppshop.co.uk

Look for "HELLO" in different languages

Are there any children at your local school who are from other countries - or their parents are - you may find the school website has a translation into other language - this can fit in with liaising with schools etc too.

Happy land people from ELC - they have lots of different cultural people in them

Print off German and French number 1-10 and have them as flash cards

St Patricks day next month - and St Davids - do some planning around that to show Ofsted.

Run out of ideas at moments - hope something above works for you
