Hi there,

We are lost in freedom of choice ...

My girl is starting secondary (st dunstans) and l have no clue what kind of bags children have.

Rucksack (big or small)? Kind of shoulder bag?

Do they have to carry a lot of heavy books or only work sheets?

Colourful or plain?

Any input would be really helpful!

I would definitely NOT get messenger bag - they carry large amounts of books which are extremely heavy and will hurt when carried on one shoulder. Go for a rucksack type? Plus, they have to carry sports kit, musical instruments etc and two spare hands is great.
One of mine has a messenger bag, one has a rucksack, both are happy and have no problems (though their bags do seem to weigh a ton). Get whatever style she wants, in whatever colour she wants. She'll change her mind a few weeks into term anyway once she's had a chance to check out what everyone else has. Come Christmas you'll be getting her a new one. :D

    • I agree that I enjoy seeing the variety of wild flowers growing naturally in the streets and would much prefer that they were not destroyed. (The South London Botanical Institute actually conduct wildflower identification walks on street wild flowers.) However, as the council consider themselves to be responsible for removing these plants, it's better that they now dig them out rather than spraying them with toxic herbicide, as they used to do - a step in the right direction.
    • It's interesting how local businesses and the people that own / work in them are not considered part of the "community". The dictionary says "a group of people living in the same place" as the principal definition. Why are we forced to accept a secondary definition where those who don't live in social housing, the vast majority of people in East Dulwich, are told to shut up?
