HI Molly I will be biased as my son has been at the Belham since reception (now about to go into year 3) and absolutely loves it. As do we as parents. The school is really driven by its vision to provide the best for the whole child, not just academic achievement but emotional, social and ethical development, too. Saying that, the academic achievements are very good, too. The teachers are fantastically engaged and the level of activities is fab to inspire the kids and make learning fun. For example, in reception, the kids went around the local shops counting apples or sausages to get them started on math, read signs etc. There is a lot of opportunities for parents to contribute to the school, too, via the PTA, various sports activities (e.g. a few parents help with out-of-school hours football class, which is in addition to an afternoon football club), and I've been on a number of school trips as a volunteer which was great fun each time. Come to the open day to find out more! I should say that those friends whose kids are at SJSC are very happy, too, so it's a good dilemma to have to choose between these schools :)

My friend's 15yo really enjoyed going on stadium tours at Twickenham and Wembley.

Thank you - tips(?) for the future :) We ended up going to the Dulwich Woodhouse after all - it was fine as not very busy sitting in the garden was pleasant enough.

We want to go for a little walk this afternoon, ending at a nice pub in the local-ish area (ED/nunhead/Peckham) - any suggestions other than the Wood House? Thanks!

My 7yo loves Nimble Arts, he is always super excited about going - have been going for 3 years. We tried a number of other clubs for variety but Nimble is the one he prefers by far. The theme days, staff and locations are always great - thoroughly recommend it.

I am sorry to hear this, my dealings with Jasmine Ali have been extremely positive and helpful, so maybe she did not get your emails? There could be a genuine reason, I experience this when I send emails through my business account they can frequently end up in the Spam filter.

Batch Bar are lovely people and you can order in food from Pizza Pick up, Banh Banh and Pedler...

Oh, that's odd. When I went for a run earlier yesterday (more around 9am)there was police tape outside a building on the stretch beyond the Highshore roundabout, but not the whole road and only one police officer standing guard. I assumed it had been about a break in or something as I think there are small workshops or similar?

They had a mix of expensive and very reasonable prices. Some things like Desigual items were expensive, but then I bought dresses for ?40, Jeans for ?35 and leather sandals for ?38 - that is pretty reasonable, I'd say?

Boooo, I love that shop. Always good for some quirky items, it will be missed :(

I had a similar issue on and off with BT for 12month. Problem was that it was intermitted - no issue for a few weeks then tripping like crazy for a few days - then fine again. Eventually, I noticed that it always happened in high winds and strong rain... One Sunday morning a BT engineer turns up at my door (I had not arranged it) and said BT had decided to investigate. Bizarre but ok - turns out the wires coming into my house from outside and going across the street were rusted and too tight. That's why it tripped in heavy rain and wind! He re-strung it and touch wood, no issue since. Even though it took a while to get sorted, BT was genuinely helpful all the way through.

I don't know about a chess club but my 7 year old would love that, too!

Thanks - we're exploring the options :)

Hi,love the suggestions here and am hoping for some advice. We are going to Vietnam with our 6you for 16th days over Christmas and new year. I am looking for recommendations for an itinerary and how much time to spend where. We are flying in and put of Hanoi and after lots of research, I've managed to tie my self into a knot...We arrive on the 18TH Dec and leave on the 4th Jan. Places we'd like to see are: - Hanoi - Halong Bay - Hue - Hoi An - chill at a beach resort for a few days - HCMC/ Saigon We would like to take the sleeper trains and avoid flying internally. Our kid is a great traveller and easy to entertain. What would be a good order to visit these places and where should we spend Christmas and New Year? Any suggestions are much appreciated! P.s., I have looked at the itineraries in the previous posts but wonder as the weather is colder, if we should take a slightly different approach. Thanks

I use Mailerlite, which is free for 2000 subscribers, you can schedule, auto-schedule, do autoresponder (e.g. automatically send emails based on certain actions) and various other things that Mailchimp does. Interface very similar to MailChimp but less annoying when trying to refine the formatting. I used to use MailChimp and am much happier with Mailerlite!

Done!

The various lego magazine versions should be fun, most magazines for that age are full of tat, but kids love it and it hopefully keeps her entertained a little...

Hi - my son is just over 6yo and an only - would also be interested in meeting others :) mx

I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you - and hope you are feeling better soon.
