Interested in the bus stop - does Harris have power to move bus stops?

There are other Beavers packs. Try the 34th at the Rye Hill Tenants Association Hall - it's on the Nunhead side of Peckham Rye, on Monday night. There is another pack on Belenden Road too. And do report the other lot. 34th draws boys and girls from Goodrich, St John & St Clement's, Ivydale and Heber primary schools - no doubt there are children from other schools too. Your chld might find it easier to join a mixed pack as presumably that other pack is going to be full of children attending the linked school.

SouthwRk council one is usually at Southwark Park. Lambeth Council one is usually at Brockwell Park. One of the Sports Clubs on Nurbage Road usually do a display too.

I have a load of Brio, track and trains, for sale. PM if interested. I couldn't get a photo loaded into the classified but I think I did post it there a while back. Brio is good.

Rowhill grange- very close usually a deal on groupon.

Hotel at st pancreas station is nice- thameslink from Denmark hill. Not too pricey from recollection unless you take the champagne extra option..........

It isn't particularly hands on, not much in the way of computers to play with or things specially for kids- but it is massive, with loads of guns, old fashioned wax works and lots of ladders to climb up and down. We really liked it because it is old school and not dumbed down at all. No good with a toddler or buggy if those are considerations.

The curriculum guide I got at the open day says it is weekly in years 7,8 and 9. It's teaching him confidence, promoting respect for other cultures and about the development of the art form while also encouraging a life long love of the subject apparently! I had to do it at secondary school and considered it a well earned break from proper school.

The playground further from the tube near the COpper box is cool, especially the tree house. Loads of places to eat in WEstfield.

ELT in Clapham Old Town. Our au lair likes it and they seem to specialise in au pairs.

North Facw is your friend. Pricey but so worth it.

I like mine. Spag Bol, chicken casserole, sausage casserole, pulled pork are my faves. It's a once a week thing here, not sure you would want to use every day, although I did when my kitchen was redone. V handy if out for the day. Get a specific slow cooker cook book.

To Sydenham somewhere. Daya has posted on the main General section of EDF saying to pm for details of when and where. Shame - lovely shoes.

Junction of lordship Lane and South circular. Bath store/world/Galaxy.

Or decathlon at Surrey Quays

Heard an interesting sibling policy today at Harris boys. If you have a son there your younger daughter gets priority when applying for Harris Girls. But not the other way round. Which does not make much sense!

looking at the stats for Forest Hill Boys I see that the different ability bands have differing 'last distance offered' distances, so banding is not a magic solution. if you fall in the 'wrong' band you end up disappointed. Are the bands proposed for Habs based on local applicants? Or some notional average? If all the children in Se22 are mini geniuses then there won't be room for everyone in the top band! Or is that not how it works?

Went straight from wooden Velo Walker to 2 wheeler. The stabilisers just confused our daughter. She can ride the 2 wheeler but still loves the Velo walker for short trips. She's 4 so think there is scope for older children to use them- our7 year old was on it in the park as it us fast and fun.

Sorry not got one in Year 1 but the playground is usually friendly. Which class is your child going to be in, hopefully there will be some Year 1 parents who will see and reply.

I wonder if there might be a H&S type new rule. Superkids at Dulwich Prep has had all classes pushed back later into the evening, with no explanation really (the school's decision, not the club's). I am giving it til Half term but fear the lesson times are now too late for my children. Could just be pure coincidence that 2 schools are restricting pool access though.

I have the Hema set. The jewels are red green clear and possibly purple- and each one approximately 5 cm long by about 2 cm (but diamond shaped). The set was about 3.50 and includes sea horse and doubloons/ sovereigns. Nearest branch Victoria I think. No idea what the cbeebies/cbbc show uses I am afraid so can't say if any good to OP, but my 4 year old likes her diving set!

Classic Mr Men popular here. Especially the really daft ones like mr tickle and mr noisy and mr messy. Bit longer than many picture books but funny.

Correct, coat and cardigan on and off all that is needed for many reception classes. Milk and biscuits here after school. Then cooked meal later- despite them all having had a cooked lunch. Chat about the day- some days get full commentary other days nothing. Bit of quiet playing, TV, board game anything that requires little effort. You reading child a story good, you trying to get them to read likely to be bad, unless they want to impress you with new skills. They are all different though. Won't necessarily be tantrums and exhaustion. Many are totally ready and very happy. Mine have been tired but not excessively so. No 6 o'clock bedtimes for sure.

Many reception age children do not have formal PE lessons so won't be getting changed so only coats and cardigans/jumpers need labelling. Biro has never stayed on long enough for me and Sharpie permanaent ink bleeds so I go for sew in name labels on key items only. Remember it is not like nursery and you are not going to get 'feedback' in detail on what they have been doing all day (especaily important if your child is moving from private daycare type nursery). If you are unclear/uncertain ask to speak to the teacher or the TA - the TA is there in class with the teacher and may well be the 'face' you see at pick up. good luck

Hello our Spanish au pair who speaks perfect English would be interested too. Can you pm me some contact details please?Thanks
