Amanda, it's not just noise makers, but the light and movement of CDs or paper plates with streamers that put the birds off. Have fun!

Thank you Louise. It's for a project for university/placement. Have modified proposed plan to include more literacy approaches allowing students to construct their learning experience. Thanks for your advice though. Will see what the students think, but the noise makers are a good alternative to the scarecrow approach

Hi Everyone, I would like to share with you a prep literacy e-book of classroom activities developed by Victorian prep teachers -

Hi Amanda

I don't know any others off hand but there must be books about scare crows which you could act out - or you could have crows, and worms movement according to rhythms tapped out on a drum - the scarecrow thing lost its interest in terms of real learning for my children when they discovered that scarecrows in fact are hopeless at keeping the birds off the seed beds and hanging up bird scarers like Cds (you can decorate them with stickers etc for finemotor and individual patterning ideas) or paperplates with streamers (ditto as above) worked much better - but the scarecrow thing is fun!

Does anyone have any activities based on movement/scarcrow activities?? 

I can only seem to find "im a dingly danglyscarecrow" and am wanting another form of movement activity for 4 year olds

Looking to implement scarecrow building with placement setting at 4 year old kindergarten. Has anyone done this approach before to collaborate with the centres vegetable patch and environment conscious approach to recycling, compost and rubbish waste?? 

Any ideas on experience set up, what worked previously, implementation strategies??

I am wondering if anyone has used the Class - Mon software that is being currently promoted (publicised by the Union) or any other package for documentation/administration? I think that Donna said that she and Sherry don't but maybe someone has some useful tips? just to save us all reinventing the wheel!

Dont know if any of you are on twitter, but I have just started to follow a preschool in USA who tweet. So they keep you up to date on what they might be doing in class. Might give you ideas or expand your network further! They are http://twitter.com/106Kinders
