I can’t believe I forgot my October School Days round up. There was lots going on, although maybe less than normal. With Covid restrictions, it means no parents going into school for the usual events and open days for end…
Not every child likes sports, but it’s my belief that the more sport and physical activities the better. Research supports getting children outside and doing more physical activity, and there has to be something suitable for everyone. They just need…
I can’t believe this is N’s 6th year at school. He’s in year 5 and that means next September we’ll be applying for secondary schools for him. Although we’ve got a year, I’d rather do some thinking now so we’re…
