Oh yes it is ...

Jack and the Beanstalk It’s time for Fee Fi Fo Fun with a GIANT of a competition to see much-loved pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at Alive Corn Exchange, King’s Lynn.

This year’s panto returns to the venue following last year’s smash hit Cinderella.

After seven increasingly successful years working with Jordan Productions, the Corn Exchange is thrilled to announce the star performer in this year’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk is Ian Reddington, in the role of Fleshcreep.

Ian trained at RADA and his work includes Dr Who, Shameless, Benidorm, Inspector Morse, Robin Hood, Outlander, The Queen's Nose and The Dumping Ground, among many others.

As one of the few actors to create a major role in two of the nation's most popular soap operas - Tricky Dicky in EastEnders and Vernon in Coronation Street - Ian has remained in the public eye for many years.

Returning by popular demand for his eighth year as Director, and this year playing Dame Trott, is audience favourite Ian Marr.

Ian will be teaming up with Scott Cripps, who together make a hilarious double act.

6

Scott will be playing the role of Simple Simon, returning from last year’s standout performance as Buttons.

After delighting audiences last year in the role of the broker's man, the Corn Exchange is pleased to announce the return of KLFM’s Posh Charles. Oh yes they are!

Join intrepid Jack on the adventure of a lifetime as he scampers boldly up the beanstalk to do battle with Giant Blunderbore. Does Dame Trott finally get her man? Can Simple Simon work out which end of the cow needs milking? Will Clarabelle remember her dance moo-ves?

With all the ingredients for a perfect panto, don’t miss this year’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk.

The panto runs from Friday 8 December until Sunday 31 December. There's a relaxed, autism-friendly performance - with no flashing merchandise - on Wednesday 20 December at 6.30pm and a signed performance at the same time on Wednesday 27 December.

Ticket prices start from £15.50

www.termtimes.ltd.uk

Family tickets We have three family tickets for four people to the panto to give away. The prize-winning ticket dates are for performances between 26 and 31 December and subject to availability.

Simply answer this question: 'What's the name of the cow in the Corn Exchange's production of Jack and the Beanstalk'? To enter, follow the instructions on page 3. Closing date 1 November.

Swans return to Welney Wetland Centre The winter arrival of more than 10,000 swans to the Fens is a sign that colder times are ahead.

These birds are migrating great distances to find food and a safe place rest.

One of the most magical aspects of this influx of birds are the evening swan feeds held at WWT Welney Wetland Centre.

Visitors arriving at the centre after dark are welcomed by the sound of the swans ‘whooping’ at one another as the birds jostle for space on the wetlands.

The volume increases dramatically as bird-lovers make the journey across the bridge and approach the main hide.

During the day the swans feed on the arable land that surrounds the Ouse Washes.

Whatever the weather, the heated hide provides a welcome environment in which to get close to the birds away from the elements.

Then each evening, as darkness falls, they call to their flock and take to the skies returning to the watery sanctuary of WWT Welney.

An inky-black scene is dotted with the white shapes of swans, either gliding on the surface of the water or grouped together on the islands.

They glide gracefully onto the water, take a drink, preen their feathers and settle down for the night.

All is calm...until the guide makes their way out to give the swans their supper and the fabulous feeding frenzy commences!

A winter feed experience for your Girlguiding unit or Scout group WWT Welney Wetland Centre is offering one lucky Girlguiding unit or Scout group - it can be Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubs or Scouts - the chance to win a trip to experience the winter feed spectacle.

The prize includes admission for a group of up to 30 children and their adult leaders.

An expert guide will offer lots of information about the swans' migration, the centre's work to protect the beautiful birds and what it takes to become a swan researcher.

The winning children will also make their own birdsized leg ring and a bird feeder each to take home.

The evening floodlit feeds run from Thursday 2 November until Sunday 25 February and the winning group will be contacted by WWT Welney to arrange the visit.

To enter, simply follow the instructions on page 3 - but remember to ask your Girlguiding or Scout Leader first. Closing date 30 October.

Children remain a highly vulnerable road-user group and they are even more at risk when travelling around in the dark - unless they can be seen.

During 2016, 45 children were injured on roads in Peterborough.

As a parent or a carer you can help your children to stay safe on the roads during the darker months, especially at night, on gloomy days and in bad weather by following the tips outlined below.

•

Bright or fluorescent clothes show up best in the daytime, especially in dull or misty weather.

•

By night, reflective material is best and shows up in car headlights.

Remember that fluorescent clothing is not visible after dark.

•

If your child doesn’t have any fluorescent/reflective clothing, brighten up existing clothes by adding fluorescent scarves, gloves, bags, reflective strips and slap wraps.

•

When buying new bags and trainers for your children many designs include reflective strips, logos or motifs.

•

Cross under bright lights where it is easier to be seen by drivers.

•

Remember it is an offence to cycle at night without a front light, a back red light and a red reflector at the back, so make sure they are clean and in good working order before allowing your child to cycle at dusk or in the dark.

For best all-round protection, wear clothes or safety accessories that combine fluorescent colour with reflective material. This way you can be sure you’re seen all the time, whatever the weather.

Events will take place during the winter months in Peterborough to promote Be Safe Be Seen.

READING CHEST PROMOTION

HOOTINGLY HAUNTED HALLOWEEN

The power of reading Most adults read without even thinking about it.

Yet being able to read well is an essential skill that enables us to get on in life.

Encouraging and supporting your child to develop their reading not only helps them to discover new vocabulary and understand and absorb new information and concepts invaluable to learning at school - it also opens up a whole world of ideas, stories and opportunities.

Here are Reading Chest's top tips to help encourage your children to read more:

 1 Reading should be fun

Reading should always be a positive experience, not a chore or punishment. Don’t force your child to read a book page by page if they don’t like the book or if it is too difficult. Help them by sharing the reading. Don’t be afraid to put a book aside completely and let them choose another.

 2 Get into a good reading routine

All the fun of a Halloween party with none of the fuss!

Carve pumpkins, make broomsticks, decorate wands, dissect owl pellets and make some creepy crafts! Best fancy dress wins a prize!

Saturday 28 October 2 – 4pm Rutland Water Bird Watching Centre

Once a routine is established, reluctant readers are much less likely to protest.

Try to listen to your child read every day, not necessarily at bedtime, when they are likely to be too tired. Keep bedtime reading as a special time when you enjoy different books together. Remember, a child is never too old to be read a story.

Book online: www.rutlandwater.org.uk £10 per person – Telephone 01572 653 042

 3 Be a reading role model

Seeing their parents reading has a huge positive impact on children’s reading.

Children fall into reading habits based on what goes on in their home. If they never see their parents reading they are much less likely to pick up a book themselves.

 4 Reading is not a competition

Reading levels and book bands may be a hot topic of conversation in the playground, but don’t get drawn in - it is not a competition! It is important that children read books at the right level of difficulty so that they enjoy them, gain confidence and develop good comprehension skills. Don’t push children up reading levels too quickly just to keep up with their peers. It is better to read a good breadth of books at each book band, including non-fiction if possible, rather than race through a single scheme.

Term Times is delighted to announce the EDUCATIONAWARDS in partnership with

WINN

L-R: Brampton Village Primary Headteacher Peter Allen with PTA Chairwoman Emma Spencer and Secretary Karen Braithwaite

BEST PRIMARY SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT Brampton Village Primary School PTA, Huntingdon

PTA Chairwoman Emma Spencer, Secretary Karen Braithwaite and Treasurer Marissa Harris were nominated by parent Dannii Summerfield, who said: 'Our PTA works tirelessly to raise essential funds for our school.

'Without their hard work we would not have the wonderful activity frame for the children to enjoy, summer shelter which is superb and so much more.

Ben Scantlebury and Chris Fryer-Bovair

'They recently beat their record and raised just over £5,000 in a week by holding a summer fete, which had a tremendous turnout, and a school disco which was brilliant.

BEST CLASSROOM TEACHER

'Thank you to the three ladies who do not get the recognition they deserve for all they do.'

Chris Fryer-Bovair, Westfield Junior School, St Ives Nominating Mr Fryer-Bovair, nine-year-old Ben Scantlebury described his class teacher as 'awesome'.

Mrs Spencer said the trio were 'amazed' and grateful for the nomination and winning the award.

He told Term Times: 'You always understand what he is saying to you.

'Thanks to supportive parents, what is definitely a challenging job is also an enjoyable one.

'He gives you a perfect amount of challenge on the work you do.

'The whole class has had a brilliant year with him; the stories that he chooses to read are awesome and he makes learning fun.

'He helps everyone choose books they will like. He helped me choose Cosmic and the Redwall series, they were brilliant - I don't know how he knew I would like them.

'I've had the best year in Year 4 because of Mr Fryer-Bovair, he is a legend.'

A delighted Mr Fryer-Bovair, who has been a teacher for 10 years and starting his third at Westfield, said: 'I loved school and learning and want to help my pupils to do the same.

'I get to spend every day with creative, enthusiastic and imaginative individuals which is a wonderful working environment and a huge pleasure.

'It is lovely to win this award - all the more so because I was nominated by a pupil. Ben was one of a really interesting and enthusiastic class of children and is a creative and curious thinker with a real interest in the world.'

'Seeing what has been achieved - all for the benefit of the children - makes it worthwhile,' she added.

Recent PTA fundraising has provided an outside classroom-cum-quiet area for the Key Stage 1 playground and the money is now in place for a Key Stage 2 shelter with benches.

Both projects cost more than £20,000 in total and the money was raised through a number of events and fundraisers including school discos, fetes, bingo evening, bring and buy 'Cake Friday' and Christmas card projects.

In the previous school year alone the PTA raised £9,000, with a recordbreaking £3,000 of that at the summer fete.

In addition to funding major projects and other resources for the school, the PTA contributes to trips for every year group, every year, to help keep the cost down for parents.

Westfield Headteacher Lucy Roberts commented: 'Chris is a fantastic teacher, who enthuses and engages the children in their learning.

The Term Times award is all the more timely as both Emma and Karen stepped down from their roles on the PTA last month, after serving more than seven years between them.

'He understands the needs of the individuals in his class, encouraging and motivating them to strive to be the best that they can be.

Headteacher Peter Allen said: 'We are very fortunate at Brampton Village Primary School to have a very active PTA.

'We have a wonderful team of staff at Westfield and Chris has led them in developing ‘growth mindset’ ideas so children are confident to try new things, ready to learn from their mistakes and not give up.

'They work hard to raise lots of money throughout the year at various events which goes towards enriching the school and curriculum with those extra resources we would not otherwise be able to afford.

'Chris was hugely surprised but thrilled to receive the award; it is extremely well deserved.'

'The outdoor classroom for Key Stage 1 and Reception has already proved a big hit with the children!'

e winners of our 2017 Education Awards

NERS

Once again, we received an impressive number of nominations highlighting the excellent work and inspiring tales of individuals, office teams and school organisations across the four award categories.

The judging panel, from Term Times and awards partner education recruitment specialists Mana Education, spent a considerable time deliberating and discussing before selecting the eventual winners.

Term Times publisher Steven Beacham says: 'Singling out

educators and those who support the schools in our readership area was a tough task, the calibre of nominations was that good.

'But the judging panel is confident we have picked worthy winners who deserve recognition for their much-valued hard work and commitment.'

Maria Cadwallader, Education Manager from Mana Education, adds: 'We have been hugely impressed by all the nominees and proud to support the Term Times Education Awards for the second year running.'

Simon Owen with Mana Education Education Consultant Jodi Freeman

BEST TEACHING ASSISTANT

Simon Owen, William Law CofE Primary School, Werrington Reception TA Mr Owen received 10 nominations, the most ever by an individual or organisation in the two years the awards have been running.

We don't have space to publish them all, but here's just a few examples: 'This man is totally amazing. His enthusiasm, care and dedication really helped the class to grow and held it together with a change of teachers half way through the year.'

'He's an excellent man and truly the best TA I've ever come across.'

'He has been pivotal in our disabled daughter achieving things not thought possible in her first year at school. He is simply a legend.'

'An asset to the school and teaching alike!'

'The children adore him.'

'He brings out the very best in every child with his nurturing and caring soul.'

The final word goes to five-year-old Morgan Allen: 'Mr Owen is cool, he helps me to do things and knows everything about superheroes.'

Mr Owen joined the school last year, his first job in the education sector having previously worked as a building site labourer.

He explained: 'When my wife and I had our first son we were very young and, although it was always my ambition to get into teaching, the priority was to get a job to provide for my family.

'Then, when my son was 16, I felt like a hypocrite telling him to chase his dreams when I hadn't.

'So I took the plunge and started my teaching degree while I was still working.

'I applied for the TA job here, never thinking I'd get it, and now I am gaining fantastic experience.'

Mr Owen, who hopes to join the school as a teacher after completing his degree, said he 'deeply appreciated' all the nominations but wanted to highlight that the children's successes are a team effort by pupils, parents and the school.

William Law Headteacher Tracey Cunningham said she and the entire school were 'proud' of Mr Owen's achievement: 'He is a brilliant Teaching Assistant, fantastic with the children and so hard working.

'I am hoping he will become a teacher in the future, he will be excellent.'

L-R: Mana Education Education Consultant Jodi Freeman with Abbots Ripton CofE Primary ofďŹ ce team Linda Nixon and Joy Pollock

BEST OFFICE TEAM

Office Manager Linda Nixon and Receptionist Joy Pollock, Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School, Huntingdon Several parents nominated the pair, including Louisa Jones who said: 'There is no boo-boo too sore, no phone call too difficult and no emergency stationary order too complex for them to handle!

'As a small school with few resources we really rely on them for everything from keeping the plumbing in the boys' loo up to scratch to overseeing lunch and, one week, the production of 30-odd rat masks for the KS2 play.

'This is on top of their day job running the school office.

'They can literally turn their hand to anything and it's all done with good humour, good grace, efficiency and a welcoming smile.

'We love them both very much and are so lucky to have them.'

The delighted duo, nicknamed the 'A-team' by Mrs Jones, said: 'What makes this award really special is that we were nominated by our school community and it’s nice to know that we are valued.'

Consultant Headteacher Claire Matthews added: 'I was delighted to hear about this award as Linda and Joy work so hard to ensure that so many aspects of school life run smoothly.

'They will turn their hand to anything and the children love them both.

'I am so grateful to the parents who nominated them as they truly deserve to be recognised.'

Hegarty Solicitors Promotion

Do I need to make a will?

Making a will is extremely important and ensures that, should the worst happen, your estate is distributed in accordance with your wishes.

As parents, making a will is the most important thing you can do to ensure your child is cared for by the people you would choose if anything should happen to you.

It is possible to make a will yourself without instructing a solicitor, but we at Hegarty Solicitors recommend taking legal advice - particularly if you have a young, step or second family.

Make a list of assets

Think about funeral wishes

It is advisable to prepare a list of your assets together with values, in particular any specific items you wish to include in your will. You will also need to take along an existing will if you already have one, or a copy, and the full names and addresses of the people you wish to refer to in your will.

MATTERS

 Love it or hate it?

A ground-breaking scientific study has discovered the reason why we love it or hate it...Marmite that is.

The Marmite Gene Project has scientifically shown people are born genetically more likely to be lovers or more likely to be haters and proven there is a genetic foundation to Marmite taste preference.

 Parents' biggest hairdressing mistakes revealed

The study of 260 UK participants, an equal split of men and women, were asked to taste a 2g serving on their tongue for 10 seconds, filling out a questionnaire to identify their ‘love or hate’ reaction.

According to a study conducted by hair and beauty salon business insurance provider SME Insurance Services, 35% of mums and dads cut their child’s hair instead of taking them to a professional.

Thomas Roos, MSc Biology and MSc Clinical Research, Stanford University and the project's Principal Investigator at DNAFit, says: 'Our research indicates Marmite taste preference can in large parts be attributed to our genetic blueprint, which shows that each of us is born with a tendency to be either a ‘lover’ or a ‘hater’ it's a really exciting discovery.'

Parents across the nation are scissor-happy with their offspring’s hair.

The survey found parents taking matters into their own hands is resulting in some terrible hair days for their children.

The most common parental hairdressing mistakes were identified as: • • • •

Inflicting a bad fringe (12%) Giving a wonky haircut (8%) Cutting or shaving their child’s hair too short (6%) Giving a 'bowl cut' (5%)

The findings highlighted that one-in-five (21%) parents have made mistakes so dire they’ve had to take their child to a professional hairdresser to get them fixed.

For many busy parents getting dinner on the table is a daily struggle.

You spend hours preparing a tasty, healthy meal for the family and then your child takes one look and utters that dreaded four-letter word...yuck.

According to new research from the creators of Tefal’s Cook4Me electric pressure cooker, over half (54%) of UK parents now cook more than one dinner every night as they try to cater for fussy family members.

Marmite has worked with one of the UK’s leading genetic testing centres - DNAFit - to conduct a clinical trial to determine whether there is a biological link to people’s taste preference for the spread.

Saliva cheek swabs to obtain DNA samples were sent for genetic analysis to identify SNPs (singlenucleotide polymorphisms) associated with Marmite taste preference.

 More than half of parents cook two different meals every night

www.termtimes.ltd.uk

Parents will be unsurprised to hear that six to 10 year olds have the pickiest palettes. More than seven in 10 (71%) parents with children in this age group now cook more than one meal per night, due to different tastes and dietary requirements.

The bad news it doesn't get much easier as they get older - just under half (45%) of parents with adult children are still cooking more than one evening meal for the family.

 The potential pains of looking after children A new study by Bupa has revealed the potential perils faced by parents and grandparents when looking after their children and grandchildren.

Nearly a third (31%) injured themselves by simply lifting, carrying or playing with their children or grandchildren and in the past 12 months 23% of those injured found themselves incapacitated and unable to move as a result.

Such injuries often have major impact on family life. One in four (25%) had to draft in friends and family to look after their children and close to a fifth (23%) had to take time off work.

Bupa’s experts estimate that at least 1.3million days are lost each year due to Acute Parental Injuries (APIs).

bonanza

Book of Bones Captivatingly written as a guessing game, Book of Bones uses page turn reveals and touch-and-feel superimposed skeletons to bring bones to life.

Young readers are invited to guess the identities of 10 animals from their distinctive skeleton and bone-based trivia, using labelled drawings and engaging animal descriptions to help.

The page turn reveals the answer in the form of a stunning illustration of the animal in its natural environment, overlaid with a textured skeleton for tactile exploration.

The hardback book is written by Gabrielle Balkan with illustrations by Sam Brewster, costs £16.95, and is aimed at readers aged five to eight.

We have five copies of each of the three fabulous books featured below up for grabs.

Enjoy reading the synopsis of each and then simply follow the instructions on page 3, telling us which book - just one please - you would like to win. Closing date 1 November.

Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball The book is a gorgeously gothic, wickedly funny new series written by Witch Wars illustrator Laura Ellen Anderson.

Welcome to the world of Nocturnia, where darkness reigns supreme, glitter is terrifying, and unicorns are the stuff of nightmares.

Amelia Fang would much rather hang out with her pet pumpkin Squashy and her friends Florence the yeti and Grimaldi the reaper than dance at her parents' annual Barbaric Ball.

Julius Zebra: Entangled with the Egyptians Gary Northfield’s hilarious Julius Zebra series is the talk of the playground.

In this latest book, Julius can’t believe his luck when he is mistaken for a Horse God after being shipwrecked in Egypt.

Soon he, and his bedraggled friends, are living it up in the city of Alexandria.

Of course, nothing ever goes smoothly for Julius and his companions.

When the King’s spoiled son Tangine captures Squashy, Amelia and her friends must escape the party to plan a daring rescue.

On a visit to the Tomb of Cleopatra, Felix the Antelope can't resist a rather lovely looking treasure for his beloved rock collection. He pockets a jewel and a curse falls upon the group.

In their race against time, they begin to realise things in Nocturnia may not be quite what they seem…

The Egyptians begin to realise this Horse God isn’t quite what they thought he was, leaving Julius the Zebra gladiator fighting for his life… again!

The paperback costs £6.99 and is for readers aged seven and over.

The hardback book costs £9.99 and is for readers aged seven and over.

What is the future of primary school uniforms?

by Will Potterton of

Leavers Hoodies

The first recorded use of school uniforms in England was back in 1222 when the Archbishop of Canterbury ordered students wear a robe outfit.

When the Elementary Education Act was passed in 1870, uniform use began to spread and soon became the norm in schools across the country.

There are convincing arguments for and against the wearing of school uniforms.

While they act as a social leveller and create a sense of belonging and unity, they don’t allow pupils to express their own personalities.

There are now more than 120 UK schools that have a gender-neutral uniform policy.

In the summer heat boys were forced to wear trousers and, to get around the rules, a group of male students began wearing skirts to school.

This means both boys and girls can wear skirts or trousers, or the uniform may be based around a unisex uniform for all, such as only allowing trousers and shorts.

Instead of getting to the stage where students rebel, or parents go to the press, we might begin to see schools involve the opinion of parents and children in creating their uniform policy.

Parents typically spent nearly £175 getting their child ready for the new school year and £51 of that figure more than a third (34%) - went on uniform and footwear.

By getting parents' and students' honest opinions on what should and shouldn’t be included, there is likely to be fewer complaints.

A recent case to hit the headlines was an Exeter school that had a ‘no shorts’ policy.

After consulting students and their parents, the school subsequently decided to allow shorts.

School uniform and shoes made up the bulk of this year's backto-school spending, according to new research.

After all, it is the children that are going to be wearing the uniform - and their parents who have to buy it - so why not get their thoughts and let them create a fair balance between comfort and unity?

Gender-neutral uniforms And while most schools would say uniforms are practical Girls in skirts and boys in trousers; that’s the wear, there's a big difference between a strict shirt and traditional school uniform. blazer policy compared to polo shirts and sweatshirts.

However, gender-neutral uniforms are now growing Gauging opinion in popularity and primary schools, specifically, are There are frequent news stories about schools sending adopting these faster than any other age group, according to research by a LGBT charity. children home for not following the rules.

Uniform is biggest back-to-school cost

The Nationwide Current Accounts Back to School poll found more than half (54%) of parents spent £31 or more on school uniform, with just over two in five (41%) saying they splurged the same on shoes.

While 23% shelled out £31 or more on sports kit, with 29% spending the equivalent amount on coats or jackets.

Shops designated by the school are where parents tend to, or need to, buy jumpers and sweatshirts (57%), ties (38%), sports kit (35%) and blazers (34%).

It's something supported by many headteachers who say a gender-neutral policy addresses the current issues of inequality and decency.

No matter how they develop, it looks like school uniforms are here to stay.

Leavers Hoodies offers a range of kids' hoodies that can be personalised with an embroidered school crest or printed school name, year design and include all the names of the leaving class members.

For more information, visit www.leavershoodiescompany.co.uk

But for skirts and trousers (49%), shirts, blouse, and polo shirts (47%) and coats and jackets (33%), savvy parents turn to supermarkets.

For shoes, 41% of parents look no further than a department store.

Roaring good time at

dinosaur EXHIBITION If yours is anything like Term Times publisher Steven Beacham's clan, dinosaurs are part of family life.

Whether it’s tripping over plastic raptors on a routine bedroom tidy-up or a Sunday night binge-fest with big screen versions of the prehistoric creatures, the Beachams are huge dinosaur fans.

So, unsurprisingly, they were first in the queue when the opportunity to visit a one-time only world exclusive exhibition dedicated to their favourite extinct friends opened at Wollaton Hall, in Nottingham.

O

ur intrepid band of four set out for Nottingham to discover Dinosaurs of China: Ground Shakers to Feathered Flyers…. without a lost island in sight!

We reached Wollaton Hall in under 90 minutes from Stamford, much less time than the 50-day sail it took the 26 dinosaur skeletons and fossils took to arrive the 5,000 miles from China.

The family-friendly exhibition features globally significant discoveries and some of the best-preserved specimens in the world, some of which have never left Asia before.

For those people, including me, who were genuinely sad to see Dippy the Dinosaur swapped for a blue whale skeleton in the Great Hall at London's Natural History Museum this is a must-see exhibition.

It's an incredible insight into how dinosaurs evolved into birds and will thrill any budding palaeontologist, whatever their age.

There's nothing quite like the awe-inspiring sensation of a dinosaur towering over you.

The exhibition makes clever use of the space and entering you are dwarfed by a Mamenchisaurus skeleton posed to look like it is about to climb the wall above your head.

This spectacular ‘peaceful plant-eating ground shaker’ - as described in the beautifully-illustrated guide book - is the same height as three double decker buses.

Each exhibit is showcased detailing their species, diet, age, place of discovery and much more.

Attempting to pronounce the names makes for a fun game as you walk around the exhibition. Try saying Gigantoraptor (jai-gant-oh-rap-tore) - the largest bird-like feathered dinosaur in the world - with a mouth full of Revels!

Although this is not the biggest exhibition it is absorbing and seeing these prehistoric creatures in situ among the thousands of natural history exhibits is fascinating.

There's also a free Dino Explorer Zone with themed activities, while the complementary exhibition at Nottingham University public arts centre Lakeside Arts offers the opportunity explore palaeo-art and discover how science and art help us figure out how dinosaurs may have looked.

The cherry on the top of this great trip out for our eight-year-old son was finding out that Wollaton Hall featured as Wayne Manor in the 2012 Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.

There's still time to visit the exhibition, which runs until 29 October.

Tickets are priced at £7.70 for adults and £5.50 for children. Family tickets are £22 for two adults and two children. Children under five go free.
