This year's Early Years and Primary Teaching Exhibition in Manchester was as popular as ever. More than 6,000 teachers and childcarers flooded into the G-Mex Centre during the two-day event on16 and 17 May.

Seminars were packed. A record-breaking 130 people attended Penny Tassoni's 'Emergent writing in the Foundation Stage' on Friday. Other big draws were Jennie Lindon's 'A positive approach to the behaviour of young children', Linda Thornton and Pat Brunton on 'Creating a child-centred environment - lessons from Reggio Emilia' and the science workshop run by Mindstretchers' Claire Warden. Visitors made the most of the 130 stands with the chance to buy books, resources and equipment at discount prices. Puppets by Post was one of the busiest stands, and Nursery World was inundated with people buying the magazine at a special show price.
