Hi Everyone For my first assignment I have to hand in a 2500 word essay on the above, obviously as outdoor play covers such a huge area I need to narrow this down and be more specific, especially as the essay needs to be a critical analysis of an academic journal on the area we have chosen!

Also quite nervous as this is the 1st assignment and still not really sure of my academic writing abilities!! Any advice on reading or research or anything would…

Hi everyone, I am currectly doing my 'Early childhood develpment' assignement and am struggling to find a decent text book that describes physical development theorists, I have loads that describe physical development but only one about the theory (advanced early years). I am particularly looking for anything with a critique of Gessel's work. My tutor told me that it is in the blakeley child development text but I can't find anything like that in amazon or google and unfortunately she is unavailable until wednesday and panick is beginning to set in. Any help would be great thanks

I was really stupid and put it in post with large first class stamp not even thinking, our post office opens silly times so could not get there easily. Had it all sent back to me because it did not get there in time as there was not enough postage. Rang them straight away.

For 1 of our units we have to have an up to date appraisal, as I am the manager and the owner my tutor has suggested a bottoms up appraisal ie where the staff carry out my appraisal! So question is would anyone have a template/copy of this type of appraisal, I have the normal ones which the staff are given but as 4 members of staff are going to be involved I dont think that form will work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Kris
