OK- stand by your beds - the EYFS document will be released on friday 5th may, so look out for it. It is a DFES document so according to my source should be on the DFES consultation pages of their website. Sorry can't be more specific here. But in all eventualities it will have links from the standards site. Also copies are being sent to LEAs for consulting with all and sundry from their end.

I will be using a book called 'When the wind stops', it is about a little boy who is asking his mum very searching questions such as 'why does the day end?' and 'where does the rain go when the storm is over?' Do you have any suggestions on follow up activities after a shared reading session? thanks zouzou
