Atmospheric posting about Craig Y don's school garden. Looks finished? And the fire engines were in school too.
Daughter won skipping medal
Rained and rained, but Saturday saw us at our local Primary school, where Bradley wanted to learn skipping. Upon seeing the set up he decided not to and Esme decided she would, and won a medal.
Pictures from Croft
good illustrative posts from Croft Primary in Walsall. Thursday brought us some children's drawings of flags, for the world cup. Then, a road show of musical instruments from around the world and a view into the nursery. And a look at soils and rocks.
With the keep fit theme, there's plenty from Freddy Fit. Love those pictures :-)

Salisbury's blog club
They're at it again: Salisbury Primary:'s blog club have several interesting posts. Good to see this voluntary lunch time club posting regularly.
A fire hose of news
I visited Craig Y Don on Friday, with the gifted children from year 6. Amazing. Bright kids, eager to know everything. Some worked in pairs other posted news items individually. I helped a bit, showed the Head a few new tricks and found some UI bugs for myself.
To see kids write, so well, and post, so easily. To see them realise that the world was now looking, to understand their thirst for knowledge and reward, well it blew my mind.
I left saying, "see you in the comments." That night and over this weekend there's been nearly 100 comments!!!!!
This week I hope Marc Hughes, The Head will bump them up to contributing editors and then they'll be able to post their own thumbnails up. Pity there's only half a term left with these, nearly expert bloggers. I'm looking forward to the next half term anyway, I'm sure their writing will be fascinating.

Dinners, lunches and fat tests
Times: Parents urged to keep the junk out of lunchboxes: "Yet while endorsing more healthy eating, heads said that they feared that the tightening of the rules could produce a black market in chocolate bars and crisps in the playground."
My kids had a note home about an entry into a raffle for every healthy sandwich box. One treat is allowed, and bread has to be 'visibly brown.' This is good because I've always bought brown, and their mum always white stodge :-)
Next, will be trying to get them, and their mum to appreciate that McDonald's is bad juju.
Heh!
Guardian: Junk food ban for schools: "Education Secretary Alan Johnson has pledged to stop feeding children "rubbish" for school dinners"
BBC: Obesity tests for 4 - 10 year olds: "From next year, parents of any obese four or 10-year-olds can expect a letter telling them their child faces long-term health damage unless they lose weight." Pretty sure you can tell a fat kid from a non fat kids, just by looking.My kids had a note home about an entry into a raffle for every healthy sandwich box.
