Hello all, this is my first post so be gentle! I took over as manager of a preschool 4 weeks ago.

Hi you knowledgeable fantastic bunch, i am part of a Elklan training programme starting in Jan 2011, i have been given a digital camcorder and have to film myself with a child interacting in any situation within the setting, or routine of the day. We will then take them back to our next training session for evaluation and discussion. Any useful tips on filming, recording as i have never done this before would be greatfully received.

Hello! Going to start a topic soon about feelings and emotions and am after some help.

What \i'm after really are any great ideas that you guys may have...I'm sure you have loads. What have you done in your settings to do with feelings? I have searched and not really come up with much. Also any good story books about emotions and feelings? Along …
