They've just updated the link that someone put on the other day for British Food Fortnight in September: www.britishfoodfortnight.co.uk If you click on the guide to 'how schools can take part', there are loads of suggestions for what people have done in the past, and there is an early years section. My mind is racing now with all sorts of ideas for trips and visitors!!! Does anyone have any ideas for what they might do? Will anyone do it as a fundraising event? Shelley
