We’ve been to a few sea life centres, but when we had a drizzly day while on holiday, I decided that Sealife Centre Weymouth would be the place to visit. I had a voucher from nursery, so we both got…
I’m all for trying to get N interested in writing and learning his letters but crikey it’s a hard slog. He loves reading books with me, and scrawling ‘shopping lists’ but actually sitting down, even when playing games it’s an…
This month’s been a quiet one for music. Our plan to go to Cornbury didn’t happen because N had his non-birthday party the same weekend, so we’ve been limited to talking and listening to music on the radio and tv….
After swimming with Water Babies for just under four years, N has done two terms of swimming lessons at the local pool. It was the first time he had been in the pool on his own without me, and I…

I hadn’t even twigged that last month was a year since I started our music exploration. I’m not sure what I’d planned had quite happened, but N has certainly been exposed to different types of music. And he’s enjoying a…
With only a few days to go until parents hear about primary school places for reception class, the anticipation is building, and I’m becoming a little more anxious. With our county, 91% of children got their 1st choice place at secondary…
