    Default I got a big box of resources today :-)

    As title says I got a big box of resources today. I went to a training thing on Saturday and found out that my area (surrey) were giving out ICT resource boxes before I was registered and there were some left. So I rang on Monday and arranged to collect a box. Well, I am amazed - there is soooooo much stuff! Just need more children to enjoy it now! They even put it all in a lovely huge wicker box - goodness knows where I will put it but it is beautiful! Not sure what my hubby will say when he gets home! I am hoping I will win him over with the beebot! He was playing with one at dds school open day and said he wanted one lol!

    I am hoping they will do a multi-cultural box next

    You are so lucky, We haven't had anything given to us for a few years now. Something like that would be lovely and a welcome addition to any setting!

    You're really lucky! Hope you enjoy using it all. We've been lucky enough to have an outside box and cameras in the last 9 months. Hx

    I am still excited about it at this end of the day!

    I have sat reading instructions and putting batteries in things all evening! And even hubby was impressed and I have avoided the "where will I put it" question so far too!

    Oh and of course we don't think you're thick! I didn't know what some of the stuff was for even with it in front of me! There is a listening thing where you put the headphones on and direct it at something that makes a noise a distance away and it amplifies the noise - very clever. Just need a 9v battery to try it out!

    To be fair we are lucky here , we have had some lovely things over the years. First thing was £100 to buy resources, then we had a titchy tub given us, all we had to do in return was write a reveiw on it. Then we had £2,500 grant and just 2 weeks ago I was given a story sack So we can't complain. Oh and I just remembered we attended a training course where we could purchase a bee bot for £5
