There’s been an increase in reports of measles cases across the UK. It’s important to be aware of signs and symptoms:
- cold-like symptoms
- sore,red eyes that may be sensitive to light
- a high temperature
- a rash on the skin that usually first appears on the head/neck and then spreads to the rest of the body

Dress your child to suit the season

We share this every year. There is a child in both photos in the same position with a different colour coat on. Really important when choosing winter clothes.

Our Beautiful Boys - This post is in response to the system as it is failing boys more than than it fails girls. Of course girls learn by doing-hands-on too, and this quote is looking at why the boys are failing.
We know that people learn stuff by DOING stuff. For young children (boys AND girls), sitting still and playing with ideas in their heads - (and this is the important bit) while not being about to action them - is short circuiting the learning process. Due to developmental differences between boys and girls, it is the boys who fare less well if there isn't an adequate component of 'physical playing it out'. Three cheers to the teachers and schools who set their environments and programmes to take into account that children learn stuff by DOING stuff, in three dimensions, in the three dimensional world.
