A Mad Science party for 5 year olds

School days – open morning, PTA events and Lego
It’s back to busy busy this week again at school but we’re on the countdown to half term. It’s gone so quickly with it being a short term. Thanks for all the comments last week about my School Days posts. …
Trusting children to make friends

Fun party bag ideas for 6 and 7 year olds
It’ll be N’s birthday in the next month, so we’re in party planning mode. Well, I say we. N keeps changing his mind over the type of party he wants, or whether he wants on at all. The plan is…
