   Hi all I am just preparing for our latest Parent/child workshop and wanted to do somthing around the theme of 'Potions and lotions'- where children and parents could make something of this ilk together. I was inspired by the programme the other night of the guy who uses plants for home remedies, partuculaly the bath bombs. I am looking for inspiration as to a few activities that the children can have a go at that is a) not too expensive to produce doesnt require any heating up of ingredients c) fun fun fun! I also thought about doing little pot porri bags using dried flowers and binca- something simple for the children to have a good at sewing themselves? What do you…

   I hope I've put this in the right place Hi everyone... I have a job interview on Monday in a school. As part of the interview process I need to read a story to a small group of Year 1 children. I'm fine with the storytelling but would like you lovely people to suggest some good books about 'CATS'. (That's the theme in year 1 at the moment) All I can think of is 'Puss in Boots', my mind is blank. It could be because I'm preparing for three interviews and trying to write my literature review before Wednesday. Please, please could you suggest some books...I want to make the session as multi-sensory as possible. Thanks
