Oh my – we reached Day 7 – and that means it’s the end of #BackToSchoolBooks week. But fear not – we’re finishing on a proper good one. Obviously we’re at the top of the school tree by now – we’re into 6th form, and it’s A Level time for the 16 & 17yr olds. By the time they reach here, the studying gets serious, doesn’t it? There’s a big jump from GCSE to...
Win a complete £125 GCSE Study Bundle, plus an Animal bag! #BackToSchoolBooks
And if you’ve been following us all week, you’ll have worked out that today we’ve reached the GCSE stage. When your kids are small, it feels so very far away – an impossibly big age for your precious small child to ever reach. And yet any parent of a teen will tell you to think twice – it’s impossibly fast, just how quickly it happens. I’m pretty sure my biggest boy was nine a couple of years...
Win a complete KS3 Learning Library, plus a Pink Camo Beanbag! #BackToSchoolBooks
Unbelievably, we’re already on day 5 – and naturally that means High School. So many of us have faced that huge leap – where they go from being the biggest frogs in the pond at Primary, to being the teeny tiniest little tiddlers again. It’s such a daunting time, and there’s so much learning to do – not just your actual lessons, but simply handling the new big school and it’s massive amount of...
Batman Moleskine – Finally, a notebook for boy teens #BackToSchool
Tomorrow my boy starts school. No, he’s not five; No.1 turned 16 in January, and after two years of Home Ed he’s re-entering the system for his A levels. So the last few weeks have been a weird combination of grumpy denial (I do NOT like being retsricted to school term dates again!), floating sadness (we’re going to miss hi and his mugs of tea) and excited preparations. About the only things we’ve not had to...

Win a £65 bundle of preschool activity books #BackToSchoolBooks
We’re really excited to be working again with Collins on a brilliant Back To School competition event for you. As any parent knows, September’s a sad/glad month. Summer’s over, school starts… and life inevitably takes on it’s winter humdrum routine. But tinged with the massive mix of HappySad, there’s a lot of upheaval and organisation to work out – you seem to especially need to sort out a lot of...
