Hi Here at the FSF we produce a monthly newsletter to keep you updated with news from the sector, details about new site content and the odd conversation that you might like to join in with.

It is easy to do this, from your name on the top menu bar select the drop down list (1). Select "Account Settings" (2) then select Notification Settings (3). Then from the list of options select 'Newsletter' and check the b…

I've just had a lovely day with a few of my Reception children. As we are learning about harvest this week, we had flour, sieves, wooden spoons, funnels, baking tins etc in the water tray (without water). I was observing a group of four children having a thoroughly great time, when one said to the others: 'you can be in charge of the lumps, and i will do the shivering' Ahh how lovely!!! Those are the times when you can't help but smile

If you're a regular visitor to the FSF, you may well be wondering what on earth's happened today! 😃 You might know the FSF is approaching its 20th birthday and we have some exciting things in the pipeline for this year; one of which is to make it easier to start discussions, join in with existing ones and to look for specific subjects that may have been discussed before. One of the ways to do this is to reduce the number of forum areas so members don't have to spend ages deciding where to post. So I've had a bit of a sort out today and we now have, in a new area called 'Practice and Provision', 11 forum areas from which to choose: Teaching and Learning …

Please, please be careful when you are uploading a moving avatar, for some people they can cause serious problems. Migraine or headache is a dsitinct possibility and even seizure. It only takes a moment for these symptoms to arise and while migraine symptoms are more easily offset by moving away from the image causing the problem, a seizure is not so easily offset. Unfortunately a member has experienced that today and the consequences of a seizure can be long term ie loss of driving license.
