   Hi, We have used a star chart in our nursery room for the past few months (5 stars = a sticker and 10 stars =a certificate). The children don't seem that enthused by it anymore and was wondering whether anyone can suggest any tried and tested reward systems. Thanks for your time.

   I am going to make a story teller's chair with the children next week. I have a large plastic red chair and was hoping for the children to come up with some of their own ideas on how to decorate it. I need some ideas of my own so that I can start the children off. Can anyone help?

   We have a small wooden shed in our outdoor space which I was thinking about turning into a library. Hoping to add comfortable cushions and rugs. I also have 2 tables and 6 chairs. Going to add a range of books and get the children to make a sign, opening times, tickets and cards. Can anyone else think of any exciting additions? Thanks for your time.
