As the year comes to an end for many of us it is a time when we feel exhausted, emotional and very sad to say goodbye to the children we love. Many of us are moving on as well, and have ambivalent feelings about that. Saying 'good-bye' is really hard, especially when we have had a happy time and made good relationships. Who knows what the future will bring? So let's think really positively here, and think of one wonderful thing you have done or achieved in the last year, give yourself a pat on the back and then go smiling on into the summer.

Hi all I have just bought a 'paper potter' from - http://www.victoriananursery.co.uk Looks great - the idea is that using this the children can make their own bio-degradable paper pots for sowing seeds. Instructions say - cut dry newspaper into strips - roll strips loosely around potter and roughly fold over excess paper - press potter onto base - turn - plant seedlings or sow seeds directly - paper pot will bio-degrade when transplanted to garden. Looks like fun and no more 'plastic pots' - so very 'green' too! Sunnyday

Also been pushing for the setting to purchase a laptop and nursery software, have just been given the go ahead to get both. Now I am just hoping that the Pre School Software, which i first became aware of through this site, lives up to all my hype. What a grea…
