just a quickie... I'm thinking of making peppermint creams with my Reception class as gifts to take home to parents on the last day of term. Has anyone made them before and do you have a good (i.e. very simple!) recipe? The ones I've found all involve egg whites, which sounds a bit complicated and perhaps not a good idea with salmonella and all that business . Or any other ideas? Thought about making chocolate truffles and there was a mention somewhere of a recipe using icing sugar and cocoa powder...don't suppose anyone knows a recipe for those??? Already made coconut ice for divali! thanks in advance to all you fantastic people who somehow manage to find…

I work in an independent school and as yet we haven't fully embraced the wonders of the foundation stage file and all that goes with it, planning assessment etc we've been pretty much left to our own devices and been able to pick and choose.

Problems With Ta's

Hi everyone We have recently opened our new early years unit and I am loving it, apart from the fact that I seem to do everything myself, due to my support staff not being very supportive. Everything is a chore for them and they never use their initative or imagination, and it is really beginning to get me down. The other week I gave one of them rebus symbols to laminate and cut out. (3 sheets of A4 x3). It took her all day, and they looked like an F2 child had cut them out. (No joke, parts of the pictures were missing). I do displays myself because: i) they take too long gettting around to doing them and ii) they just have no pride in their work. I probably so…
