The Works have an online deal of 10 books for £10.00. They do charge postage but if you have one locally you can click and collect from store. Even with postage this is a good deal . http://www.theworks.co.uk/c/multibuys/10-for-10

We are looking at extending our classroom and I wondered about suggesting bifold doors leading into our outside area. If you have them in your setting, I would be grateful if you could let me know whether you think they are a good idea or if you have had any problems with them. Thanks!

I happened on this article after it was retweeted on Twitter by EY Talking it's a fascinating read and I am sure many of us have seen adults 'ruining' children's play and perhaps have been 'that' adult ourselves???

Hello, this is my first post, so I'm hoping it's in the right place.

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone had any experience of using a good and user friendly planning system? I am in a 2 form international school where we sometimes have teachers from other parts of Primary and Secondary covering when teachers are sick. I have had a dabble with planbook.com as we have a lot different days and events throughout the whole school all year and it is good to plot these in. I wondered if anyone had tried any others?
