School Days – new school shoes and nicknames
It’s seemed like the last week of school days whizzed by, being the first back after the half term. Even N said it had gone quickly, but then got confused when I tried to explain how it feels like time’s…
School Days – class photos and exercises
That’s the penultimate term finished at school, and only the final foundation stage term to go. I can’t believe that this time last year N was still at nursery. It seems such a long time ago in terms of his…

Over the last couple of years, and now being in the countdown period to the summer holidays and the new school year starting, I’ve noticed a lot of parents really worry about their children starting school (and nursery). This wasn’t…

School days – tennis club and Queen’s birthday
Another week closer to half term and primary school allocation day has passed. I can’t really believe that was us waiting last year. But I hope anyone waiting this time got the school choice they wanted. If your children are…
School days – the new term
I can’t believe N’s in the summer term at school already, but that’s the first week of the new term done. Here’s our update of this week. Reaching standards It’s getting to the stage where I’m getting worried that he…
Music Exploration Classic FM Hall of Fame and tv music
Last month I decided not to write up a music exploration post because we’d not been doing much music, but this time I’m on it, although it’s largely been music by accident. But with music always on the radio, quite…
