Editor's letter

This season offers endless opportunities to extend children's learning in the great outdoors and we have plenty of resources to help you make the most of your summer activities. Many nurseries and primary schools now have a garden where children not only learn about growing things but may even produce some of their own food. We have just the tools to help with the many tasks needed to keep your patch well tended and the children interested (see page 18).

Waterplay is a constant source of delight, especially on hot days, and something older schoolchildren enjoy just as much as the under fives. We suggest ways in which everyone at your out of school club can have fun with a range of different toys and equipment (page 30).

The school trip, usually at the end of the summer term, should leave lasting and happy memories. Making it go without a hitch calls for some long-term planning, and it pays for a member of staff to check the place out before booking. There are excellent destinations all over the country: we have room to mention only a few in our feature on page 27, but we hope they give you some inspiration.
