But they are not very safe and are falling apart (arms break and spikes of metal stick out). Has anyone got any good, safe, long lasting umbrellas that they would recommend? URGENTLY!!

Can anyone suggest a lively oral and mental starter for reception children that worked well?

While browsing I came across this if any of you are interested and haven't seen it before http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/Pubs/phonicsHD.html btw I'm sitting on the fence reading these articles if you know what I mean!! Luckily I'm not back in the classroom until after Easter (Year R) and have a while to make up mind as to which learning to read method I will use. I am interested to hear what other Reception/ Year 1 teachers think about the teaching of synthetic phonics. Could you be the one to persaude me to go one way or another... Many thanks
