   I am going to set up a farm shop for my Nursery children in our shelter. I am planning on including things like yoghurt pots, empty milk bottles etc. Has anybody got any ideas, or done this before? Any help would be appreciated.

   Hi, In light of the Jamie Oliver programmes and the launch of a healthier menu on 18th April my head has asked me to plan a food week for the whole school Nursery to Year 6. I am going to talk to the art co-ordinator but because I am PSHE and the Healthy Schools co-ordinator it is mainly my area. I have got some ideas and I am going to go on the British Nutrition Foundation website that we have discussed on here. Whilst you are on Easter hols and munching chocolate eggs can you see if you can come up with any ideas or if this is something you have already done. A little money available but not much - thought of asking everyone to bring 50p. Thanks.

   Does anyone know if it is ok for the birds to make bird cake with melted margarine instead of lard. The smell from melting lard all day in Nursery is just such an awful smell we don`t want to face another day of making it with all the children.

    I had a parent in today complaining that her child has been told by another child in a different class that he cannot play with the toys because he is black. Of course she is very concerned and so am i. I thought it would help if i could do a circle time activity using puppets to address the problem. Has anybody got any good ideas?
