The Thames South West Family Grapevine Area

S

ummer is coming and we have certainly been enjoying the sunshine and blue skies we have been having over the last few weeks. It is nice Photo to be able to enjoy it this year rather than being of heavily pregnant and just finding the whole thing Editor exhausting! Saying that, it means my son is nearly 1 and my daughter has nearly finished her first year at school, which makes me wonder where the last year has gone? Time really does fly!

You may have noticed the name change to my magazine with its new expanded area! The Kingston, Richmond and Wimbledon Family Grapevine is now known as Thames South West. It is exciting to be reaching more families throughout the Sunbury, Staines, Shepperton and Ashford areas – so “Hello” to you all!

We have some great competition in this issue, so make sure you enter.

Good luck!

Have a great Summer

Heena’s Kitchen Curry

K

itchen Curry started when I was asked to cook a meal for a friend, they recommended me to a friend who then recommended me to another friend and so on, and we’ve not stopped ever since.

Maternity, Newborn, Baby and Toddler photo sessions

The experience is different to the usual Indian takeaway.

My concept is to take the guess work out of ordering a meal and suggest to you what to try, its a meal we would typically eat at home using my take on traditional recipes.

Sessions take place either in the comfort of our Kew studio or outside in a park

I use the freshest possible ingredients with the least amount of oil to give you that fresh clean flavoursome taste to tantalise your taste buds.

Diddi Dance Richmond

Did you know?

Though dance, children develop enhanced sensory, awareness, cognition and consciousness. It is this heightened state that creates the magic of movement that is dance.

Real life situations: : It’s 3am. I’m in labour with my second baby. My first child has chickenpox and can’t go into the hospital. I have no family and few friends nearby, as we’ve only recently moved. : My nanny has resigned and left me with no childcare from tomorrow! I work full time and so does my husband - we can only interview potential candidates on the weekend. : I have never left my baby with anyone else before. We’ve got a family wedding on a Sunday which we both really should (and want to) attend. I’m really nervous about leaving him and I don’t want simply anyone to look after him.

Sometimes you simply need an extra pair of hands or a loving cuddle for your little one. Stacey Richard created Surbiton Sitters as the solution to all your ad hoc and emergency childcare needs. Stacey does all the babysitting herself and truly cares about you and your children.

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind

Just Help, Temp and Permanent Nannies and Au Pairs, 01460 30775

The witch and her cat are flying happily along on their broomstick when a stormy wind blows the witch’s hat, bow and wand away into the night.

When a hungry dragon appears, who will save the poor witch?

Little Ones, premier bilingual nanny and housekeeper agency, 020 7183 0309 Littlescallys Nanny and Babysitting Agency, Friendly Professional Service, 07752 630440

e are cherishing childhood this year with the NSPCC, as every childhood is worth fighting for. All our events are open to members and non-members and there will be donation buckets for you to contribute towards the NSPCC’s crucial work.

Amanda Church, NSPCC Corporate Fundraising Manager, said: “The NSPCC is delighted to partner with Gymboree Play & Music all over the UK, in our fight for every childhood. Abuse ruins childhood, but it can be prevented. That’s why we’re here. That’s what drives all our work, and that’s why – as long as there’s abuse – we will fight for every childhood.

“Childhood is so precious and Gymboree’s Cherish Childhoods campaign is a perfect way to have great fun with your children, remember what it’s like to be a child and have fun, whilst raising funds to support the NSPCC’s work. We can all play a part in the fight for every childhood and by taking part in Gymboree’s fantastic events in aid of the NSPCC, you’ll be making a difference to the lives of local children.”

Susannah Sloman, Managing Director of Gymboree UK, said “The NSPCC does such brilliant work with children and families that we are aiming to raise £30,000 for them over the next year with our Cherish Childhood campaign. Children grow up so quickly, and in today’s world much of our little one’s childhood is spent encouraging them to reach the next milestone rather than cherishing the moment we have right now. At Gymboree we help magical moments happen every day and can’t wait to share this with parents through our Cherish Childhood events this year, whilst raising money for this amazing charity.”

Please contact your local Gymboree and come along to Cherish Childhood today! Remember - We only grow up when we forget how to play! #cherishchildhooduk Gymboree Surbiton 020 3609 8007/ www.gymboree-uk.com/surbiton Gymboree Wimbledon 020 8946 0400/www.gymboree-uk.com/wimbledon

Market leaders Farquhar’s Vocabulary Flash Cards have unveiled an additional set of Opposites, specifically written for the verbal reasoning element of the 11+ test.

“It has become increasingly apparent that there is a need to focus more energy on mastering opposites.” says creator Mary Farquhar.

These new cards are designed to complement the existing sets, which encourage children to build up a solid bank of advanced vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms and compound words.

Summer Reading Challenge

C

hildren's reading can 'dip' during the long summer holidays. The annual Summer Reading Challenge helps gets three quarters of a million children into libraries to keep up their reading skills and confidence. Because everything changes when we read.

The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 to 11 to read six books during the long summer holiday.

There is a different theme each year. Children can read whatever they like - fact books, joke books, picture books, audio books - just as long as they are borrowed from the library.

Every time children finish a book they get stickers and rewards and there's a certificate for everyone who finishes.

The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all school children and is designed for all reading abilities. Schools work with local libraries and give out information to encourage children to take part, and most libraries run Summer Reading Challenge linked early years activity for pre-schoolers.

The theme for the 2015 Summer Reading Challenge is Record Breakers.

We produce super-sized materials for children who are visually impaired, or have visually impaired parents/ carers. This material can also help children with learning disabilities and dyslexia. The RNIB National Library Service subsidise this super-sized material

Get involved!

•Head to your local library during the summer holidays and enroll. It's completely free and anybody can take part.

•If you're a parent or carer join us on our Facebook page for all the latest news https://www.facebook.com/SummerReadingChallengeUK •Children can chat, get reading recommendations and enter competitions on our Summer Reading Challenge website http://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk

Little Sporties sessions for 4&5 year olds are at 9am and 10.45am. For our older students (6-16yrs) our Main School starts at 9.30am -12.30pm. Students train in age related squads.

Every Sunday, during term time, your child will participate in a team sport, an individual sport and a team building challenge.

Our experience is that our students flourish in an active, fun and safe environment. We encourage competition in a healthy manner, however it's not all about winning and it's not selective.

uzzle Club is a specially designed activity magazine for 7 to 11 year old children. The magazine includes word and number puzzles that support learning in the core subjects of the National Curriculum, specifically English, Maths and Science.

From the creative team behind Brainiac Live and a whole load of other explosive science shows, the new production takes an anarchic approach to science communication whilst looking at the inventors and engineers who have shaped and inspired the modern world that we live in. From Liquid Nitrogen frozen flowers to Hydrogen Bottle Rockets. From Buzz Aldrin to Virgin Galactic. From a cat food tin to the Hovercraft. From the discovery of Methane to the invention of the Battery. Join the team and the voiceover from above (X Factor’s Peter Dickson) as they take you on a journey using demonstrations and a few loud bangs to lead the way.
