Home time/Holidays (pages 2-3)
http://www.btinternet.com/~p.wilkinson2000/Going_Home_Time.htm
Joyce Grenfell's classic
story about home time in a nursery class, including such lines as:
'Sidney, I saw you deliberately put that paintbrush up Dolores's
little nostril. No, it wasn't a jolly good shot. It... I don't
want to discuss it, Sidney.'
One for the teachers to enjoy...
http://www.family-net.net/~brooksbooks/ggayweb/ggayindex.html
60 beautiful images,
accompanied by haikus, provide an imaginative approach to 'The Long
Way Home'. A good source for some stunning photos and as an introduction
to this style of writing for young children.

This is a useful supplement
to Jill Murphy's On the Way Home, used in one of the lesson
plan activities. Here, a group of children interview the author
on her work.
2.
Travelling by road/traffic (pages 4-5)
http://www.wijnbergh.demon.nl/divpags/pag2fs.htm
Michiel Wijnbergh’s
photography of traffic is stunning. This site from the Netherlands
also explores other environmental issues such as landscapes, recycling
and agriculture through dramatic pictures.
3. Dreams (pages 6-7) and Daydreaming
(pages 8-9)

For a site of pink fairies
(but some imaginative thought) read these poems at this extraordinary
site.
