education:

Potatoes for Schools registration is now open for 2011 – free seed potatoes, available to home educators too :)

The BBC Scottish History section is very good, nice timelines going on.

on self esteem:

We Teach What We Are - a blog from Wayne Dyer on the best we can do for young people.

Page 20 of Ladies First Magazine has a beautiful article about womens body image and self esteem.

and there is an excellent article on aspergers here

…and a small mention for Twitter, some of the above were passed on through there. Last weekend we won tickets to an early preview of Despicable Me, complete with many freebies, thanks to following Cineworld on there. Very funny film, one of the few weve seen that actually makes the 3D element worthwhile. Follow us on our vegan family account or as Frugaluk where we pass on many competitions :)
