Hi i hope its ok to post this. I teach in a school for children with severe, or profound or complex learning needs- basically severe learning difficulties, downs syndroms, autism, cerebral palsy etc... we have been nominated for a competition in kent but the competition is tough and as you have not many childen in each special school compared to mainsteam, therefore not many mums/ dads/ aunts and uncles to vote, we need all the help we can get.
it is to have the Howletts conservation Bus visit us!
Please click on the link and vote for Five Acre Wood School.. please!

sending you thanks in advance,
kylie

can someone tell me how to delete cookies, I have used my e amil, my freecycle e mail and my school e mail,how can I delete cookies!!!! Come on I work in a school but this is a special school...Help
-
Jeannine I don't know what web browser you use (e.g. I use Mozilla Firefox), but if you go into the help section in your browser and search for cookies it will tell you all about them. Beware randomly deleting all your cookies. If you have ever gone to a website and clicked on "remember me" (e.g. when I go to Amazon it opens up "Hello Anne" ) the website remembers you because it has installed a cookie on your PC. If you delete them all your preferred websites won't know who you are. :o :o
-
Thank you Anne, pehaps an iffy one for me
-
In my browser you go to tools then options then privacy then show cookies. Then you can select the ones you don't want to keep and delete them. I don't know how it works in Internet Explorer but I'm sure someone else will.
-
;D ;D ;D Well, that was quite exciting. There was a late rally by the school that was originally in the lead, and they narrowed the gap to only 3%. But in the end Five Acres won with a comfortable 5% lead.
-
Cyberpower! ;D ;D
-
absolute cyber power! thanks so much everyone! I would have checked in sooner but unexpectedly ended up in hospital on friday lol! luckily released yesterday after suspected heart probs lol. Mustv'e been all the excitement of the voting! I will let you all know how the event goes hopefully they are not coming tomorrow as I have to have the day off to go to the GP to get some tests set up.
Thanks so much everyone it was really reall kind of you- and fun!!
-
Ooer, Vegemite, you take care and best of luck with the tests. ;)
-
Vegemite. Hope all turns out well for you tomorrow. Good luck
-
well melbourne reminded me I didn't update on this! I'm so sorry I was a bit poorly but am fine now and back in cyber action. The tour bus came just before the end of term- the kids loved it. There were lots of sensory things- skins, tusks (it was about animal conservation obviously) the big screen and some really wicked musical instruments- one which made thunder noises which my six boys in the discreet autism class loved!
I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who rallied round and got the votes up. Its great because not only did we get to have the tour bus first (and who knows when the wilil do other venues!!) but it raised the profile of the school in the local press too, which is something special schools can always do with!
thanks again
