Happy Boxing Day!

There are just so many bugs around at the minute.

It's reminded Margaret of the 1980s, when she would pick up a bug everytime she visited anywhere.

Margaret says, if you're having a toy day at the end of term, remind your children of some basic rules:
1. Nothing with batteries (eg Speak & Spell).
2. Nothing noisy (especially Hungry Hippos).
3. Nothing with too many parts (ie Mousetrap).
4. Etch a Sketch is a safe bet.

If things are tough in school right now, please try not to worry. This is the time of year when the Government usually pledges to bring in military support.

Margaret is very much looking forward to it.

A fine idea!

Match of the Day:
If you're struggling to know what to ask Father Christmas for this year, why not have a browse through an Action Man or Sindy catalogue?
@SmartJacques
