PARTNERED BY HEGARTY SOLICITORS

Where Tourism All Started Being the birthplace of Thomas Cook, the Term Times team appropriately took a trip to Leicester on a heritage excursion to see some of the sites.

The Heritage Trail The Heritage Trail is a free download. It depicts the stories, events and people who have shaped this city.

The trail links well with informative street panels found throughout the city centre. From Roman and Medieval histories to famous families like the influential Wigston family; all are covered plus don’t miss the elegant Georgian streets and promenade.

If you need to pick up some fresh produce pop

by Leicester’s Market where you can tempt the tastebuds whilst also learning about Alice Hawkins, a prominent suffragette who campaigned locally.

King Richard III Visitor Centre You don’t have to be a heritage expert to find this Centre both educational and entertaining. Explore the detective story of how the remains of King Richard III were found in a shallow grave under a city car park in 2012. The Centre has transformed a Victorian Grammar school into a family destination where the story of Richard is told through his life, family, battles and enemies. Through evocative use of film, on-screen reenactment and storyboards you are transported back in time to the end of the

Wars of the Roses. Learn about the man himself and also understand the processes employed to identify and exhume his skeleton, and explore the injuries he sustained in the final battle. Regular family activities and seasonal events are also on offer in the holidays, with a family ticket for four costing £25, allowing you to return any time for free within 12 months. www.kriii.com The Guildhall Part of the Leicester Museums and Galleries group this historical site dates from the late thirteenth century.

Nestling in the old town where the walls of opposite buildings are within an arm’s length, the Guildhall has served many purposes over the years. From a meeting place for a historic guild to a police station, visitors can learn about life in Leicester through the ages plus some of the more interesting darker myths, stories and even smells!

Leicester Museums and Galleries Hosting everything from Dinosaurs to Egyptian Mummies Leicester’s museums have something for everyone, this Summer. The new exhibition Play Time is on at Newarke Houses Museum running to 17 September. Play Time celebrates children’s play over

the last 150 years. It certainly brought back memories with a variety of toys and games. The exhibition also offers several different events and sessions for children, visit leicestermuseums.org for more information.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE PROMOTION

Share Your Concerns and Meet Your Neighbourhood Officers Cambridgeshire Constabulary are inviting parents/guardians and young people to help them shape local policing priorities.

Whether it’s anti-social behaviour, drug dealing, burglary, speeding, bike theft or anything else, they want to meet local people to hear their concerns and help find solutions to any problems.

Chief Inspector Paul Rogerson, who leads on neighbourhood policing, said: ‘Neighbourhood policing is at the heart of everything we do and building trust and confidence with our communities is vital in helping us to prevent crime and bring offenders to justice.

‘We want to ensure our neighbourhood teams are accessible to, responsible for and accountable to their communities.’

In January last year (2022), the Constabulary launched a new engagement model which gives every resident in Cambridgeshire the opportunity to have their say via a quarterly survey, and meet their neighbourhood officers on a quarterly basis to discuss any concerns and help shape the policing priorities for the coming quarter.

Chief Inspector Rogerson said: ‘So far, we’ve had more than 4,700 people either attend a meeting or fill out our online survey but we’re keen to reach even more people.

‘We ask that anyone in your household fills out the survey (scan the QR code below) any time you have a concern you wish to raise. If you’ve no specific concerns in your area, we would still like to know what crime types you

‘We would also welcome your attendance at the quarterly engagement meetings which are listed above. They take place on a Tuesday evening from 7pm and usually last about an hour.

‘The meetings give you the opportunity to meet your local neighbourhood officers virtually and hear what the teams have been working on over the past three months. The findings of the survey are also presented before we open the virtual room to residents to put any question or concern they wish forward for a response. Before we finish the meeting, we agree on priorities for the coming three months.’

Scan the QR codes to fill out the policing survey today and sign up to one of the forthcoming meetings.

GOOD RUNNING EVENTS PROMOTION

School Pupils Asked to Run For Charity The Anna’s Hope Fun Run at the Great Eastern Run is a great opportunity for schools and communities to come together and make a difference.

If you would like your school to get involved there are 300 free places available for children.

Over 30 children from Castor Church of England Primary School and their families took part last year and headteacher Alice Edwards says it fosters great community spirit.

'We have taken part in the Anna’s Hope 5K Fun Run for over 8 years and love seeing how much fun the children have running through the streets.

Rain or shine, they always have big smiles on their faces as they cross the finish line and receive their medals. It’s become an annual event for our school and the wider community that people look forward to. It really does help build community spirit and gives children and families a chance to feel good and make a difference by raising money for a great charity.'

'The run encourages children to challenge themselves along with their school friends and family, have fun and make a difference. It also helps bring the school together to celebrate their achievement. Last year we were delighted to win the Anna’s Hope School's Challenge Trophy.'

Anna’s Hope is offering up to 300 free child places in the Fun Run for children who can raise at least £30 each for the charity. In addition to the Anna’s Hope School’s Challenge Trophy, Sarah Freeman from The Little Book Snug in partnership with Usborne is offering some special prizes.

KIP MCGRATH PROMOTION

Improving Your Child’s Phonics and Reading Here at Kip McGrath Peterborough, we like to take a holistic approach when it comes to teaching reading.

Our fully qualified teachers, experienced in the teaching of Phonics, embed these skills within every lesson alongside teaching other vital reading skills.

What is Phonics?

and will then have the opportunity to retake the phonics screening check." Children will see a total of 40 words.

How Can Kip McGrath, Peterborough Help Your Child?

Phonics is where we teach sounds and letters of spoken English with individual letters or groups of letters. For example, the sound ‘k’ can be spelled as c, k, ck or ch. Teaching children to sound out and blend the sounds of letters together helps them to decode unfamiliar or unknown words and supports them to read independently.

The child and their individual learning will always be the main focus and we aim to ensure their reading is progressing overall, as opposed to just learning a decoding skill. Taking a reading approach ensures that children have the skills needed to decode but also helps them to read words within sentences giving what they read some meaning, Phonics Screening Test supporting comprehension and understanding too.

FESTIVAL OF SPORT PROMOTION

No One Gets Left on the Bench!

Norfolk is the place to be this summer for sports fans, with dozens of Olympians, Paralympians and international sporting legends converging on Holkham in August for Festival of Sport 2023.

Held over three days from 11 – 14 August, Festival of Sport is the only summer weekender in the UK dedicated to sport. It gives youngsters the chance to hone their skills in their favourite sports and try out completely new disciplines. Rugby giant and co-founder Will Greenwood says: ‘From football, netball, hockey, golf and of course rugby, to kayaking, boxing, American football, skateboarding and skipping, we’ve got something for everyone. And the chance to learn from some of the absolute greats in those sports.

‘It doesn’t matter whether you’ve played it before, or never even heard of it, we want to share the joy of sport with as many families as we can – learning something new, spending quality family time together and making new friends.’

Sports pros attending alongside Will include fellow co-founder and Tigers legend Austin Healey, cricketer Ryan Sidebottom, hockey gold medallists Helen and Kate RichardsonWalsh and Paralympic rowers Vicki and Tom Aggar.

live bands and open-air cinema keep the party atmosphere going into the night. There’s plenty for adults to have a go at too, from Echelon cycling classes to DanceFit, and challenges in chipping, skipping and rowing throughout the weekend – including the chance to pit yourself against sporting professionals.

Aimed primarily at families with children aged 5-17, each youngster takes part in 12 different sessions across the weekend, followed by evenings in front of the main stage where

The Festival’s core aim is to make sport fun for everyone. As Austin Healey explains, ‘The great thing about Festival of Sport is that it’s genuinely inclusive – everyone gets to do a bit

Festival of Sport is on from 11 – 14 August. Tickets available now at www.festivalofsportuk.com

of everything. There are no VIP areas, it's not about talent-spotting or competition, it’s purely about proper family fun, trying new things and enjoying time together outdoors.’

For the full festival vibe, there’s also a food village with a variety of street food vendors serving up an international mixture of food, a wellness area, sports massage and toddler play zone. Families staying for the full three nights can choose from a range of camping and glamping options on site, or just go for a day.

FANTASY ISLAND PROMOTION

“There’s something for everyone” is the first message that greeted us upon arrival at Ingoldmells, just north of Skegness on the bright but breezy Lincolnshire coast.

FANTASY FUN THIS SPRING Upon entry to Fantasy Island we purchased a family set of unlimited ride wristbands. To help families there are also three height related bands – Discovery, Adventurer and Little Explorer which allow you to target rides based on height.

It was time to start the fun! Unfolding the map like Indiana Jones looking for treasure, our first quest was to head to Millennium which is one of the main rollercoasters at the park. Thrill-seeker and Dad (with tired knees) clambered into the carriage and whoosh! We were away. This ride is exciting and gives you great views over the coast, although I missed them through squinted eyes.

Odyssey is the biggest ride in Fantasy Island and one that provides a big adrenaline rush… if you need it of course.

Moving inside all ages are catered for. Embarking on our next adventure, The Guardian ride

certainly provided us with an energetic fantasy story of good versus evil. It really captures the imagination and transports you to a mythical world. Then it was time to help Harrington Flint take down his enemies and complete his quest. This takes the form of a shoot ‘em up style game with great graphics.

Time for a pit stop and we were truly spoilt for choice from snacks to full meals with over 40 eateries to choose from. Jamaican chicken consumed we headed to the crazy golf. Whilst this is a rite of passage at a seaside town, the 18-hole dinosaur themed course was a real highlight and great fun with holes of varying difficulty and animatronic dinosaurs throughout the course.

Little explorers (and some resting parents) are well looked after with the Apple coaster, Carousel, and Sea Aquarium ride to name but

www.termtimes.ltd.uk

a few. This is true for the arcades that seem well organised with areas aimed at children of different ages. The Fantasy I-card comes into play here, which is a simple tap and go to play and when you’re finished scan the card to redeem and see what you’ve won.

Lastly were the water rides. Best till last?

Dragon Mountain and Wild River Rapids were great, the Log Flume ‘still a classic’ were the words spoken from the youngest. Slightly wet we decided to dry off and meander through the endless 300 market stalls. An array of gifts, presents and treats are offered by each store, it’s not to be missed.

Fantasy Island is a truly enjoyable experience with families at the heart of what they offer.

So, if you want a break that appeals to all, this adventure will definitely offer something fun for the whole family.
