Don't often use Google (thanks to Cait I use easyfundraising.co.uk for my searches and raise money for my pre-school). Anyway today I wanted to look up something on google books and they're having one of their themed days. Today at Google they are celebrating Hans-Christian Orsten's birthday who apparently is the founder of electromagnetism, or something like that. If you feel the need know more, the Guardian has an article here all about him. Maz

Threshold Application And Artsmark
by Guest- 8 replies

Hi All. I recenlt had my Performance Management Review, and the big thing that came out of it was that the head wants me to apply for Threshold a year early. I lead the FS in school (which is really just me and my TA as we don't have a pre-school or nursery!) and the head feels because of the work I do in FS and across the school I should be post threshold. Great... but she wants me to do the application in one year instead of two which concerns me a little. She also wants me to apply for the Artsmark award for the school as that's my subject area. I've just checked the website and it says if you haven't started the application by 6th October not to start as it …

I really need help - I have tried to write a document to pull all of our observations together to ensure that children are covering aspects in each area, and to also hopefully pull everything together, I was going to call this a tracker document. However by my own admission it is way to complicated, could anyone give me any ideas - I have been given a new role within my setting and I really want to do it well. Any help or advice would be gratefully accepted. Jo
