Many thanks

Hi. I've always taught in either KS1 or Reception. Absolutely love Reception (have whole intake in Sept so work with 'Nursery') and KS1.

Hi I have been given posters and dvds from one of our parents they are about animals, sea creatures and planets. She collected them all from one of the newspapers. The dvds are an excellent source of information and although i am anti tv in the setting i think i could use them. My idea is to play them on the computer as part of an interest table with information and story books and various related objects. The problm is i think i will need some sort of license to show them. Does anyone have any knowledge of this area. Thank you
