I'm feeling quite frustrated and this forum seems to be a good place to sound off!!!! I have been for 3 interviews over the past few weeks for nursery or reception posts, and have been unsuccessful for each of them.

Keeping Frog Spawn

hi there i'm so glad i have finally sorted out my internet connection as i have been unable to visit the site for a while! i need some advice regarding keeping frog spawn. i have been offered some for my Reception class but am a bit worried about the changes in temperature in my classroom. At night when the heating is off it (not surprisingly) gets cold, when i arrive in the mornings however it is very warm, the heating having kicked in a couple of hours earlier. will these fluctuations harm the frog spawn? my teaching assistant said they had some once before but it died before it hatched but was unsure of what may have affected it. thank you Lizz xx

I've found another interesting article by Tom Burkard, who is the Director of The Promethean Trust, a Norfolk charity which teaches parents how to help their children with intensive phonics. It's another long, but very readable article entitled 'What every teacher and parent should know about synthetic phonics.' http://www.promethean.fsnet.co.uk/synthetic.htm Regards
