I wanted to share with you a set of books that I have recently discovered at the Education Show in Olympia; they are designed specifically for EYFS and cover a huge range of areas. I ordered 2; problem solving and young boys and their writing - they are fantastic!! Full of cross curriculuar ideas that will inspire the children in my class. They are published by AC Black so if you have five minutes give them a look PS - they come under the heading 'Key Issues' Nicky
