   Hi All, I am about to enter my 3rd and final year of my teaching degree, I have specialised in the Early Years so feel that I should reflect this by choosing a relevant EY topic / focus for my dissertation. However, the word limit for our paper is rather short (7500 words) and so far many of the titles my friends and I have thought of have been rejected as they were too big! I am now stuck and at a mind-block lol! Can anyone suggest any ideas / tips on what I could base my research on? Any help would be greatly appreciated and would help me stress less before I go back to uni!! Thank You everyone! Sam x

   I wonder if someone could help me with a top tip. How do I go about colouring large quantities of rice to then use dry? Do I need to cook it first and what do I use for the colour?

   How To Address Parents As Doctors

   I don't want to come over as being a complete numpty, but..... I am posting the learning journeys to parents with a short letter, and I have two sets of parents who are both doctors. So do I start the letter with - Dear Drs Smith and Smith, Dear Drs Smith, or shall I play safe and write Dear parents? Can't even remember their christian names to use their initials as that information is at school, and I don't really want to start with Dear parents as I find that a bit impersonal on the letter that I'm writing. Sorry to be a bit bim, must be the weather, again Many thanks, Jackie.

   we are having an open evening next tuesday. And I have been trying to find where I can down load some information to display about what the children are learning from different activities. Eg: sand, construction, book, painting, playdough and so on. I down loaded them some time ago but unable to remember where from. Do anyone know of any web sites Thanks Rosie

   Trunks (of The Suitcase Variety) For £10!

   If anyone is interested I visited local Matalan yesterday and picked up two old-fashioned cream trunks for £10- half price! Slightly battered with some bumps and superficial marks but they look fantastic- my imagination is running wild with ways to use them... tested them out today and the children loved them (we had all boys today too and they couldn't leave them alone) they also had a teepee for £15 which I resisted as we have lots of tents but thought would share these bargains with you lovely folks

   During the summer term we plan to involve the children in gardening activities. The topic title is 'The Garden'! We have done this before and it proved very successful! However, if anyone has any great ideas, especially practical hands-on activities would be great. We have access to concrete playground.
