Fancy a 2-in-1 tablet? We’ve tried the Venturer BravoWin
Most families now seem to have at least one tablet that the kids have access too – a lot of kids also have their own, of course. And tablets are pretty awesome – I completely denied they had any use for a few years when the iPad first came out, and predicted an early demise – what a stupidly unnecessary bit of kit, why do we need a tablet when we have a computer at home? Silly me. My iMac is on all day every day...
Trying Harvester’s Brilliant New Kids Meal Deal (and groaning under chocolate cake)
On Monday we had a spontaneous trip out, courtesy of the lovely folks at Harvester, who thought we might like to try their new Kid’s Menu. I did point out that only one of us would be on the kid’s menu – teen boys tend not to be satisfied with the portion sizes for a 7yr old, I find – but that was all fine, so we duly headed off to Salisbury, to the Old Castle which happens to be very close to Old Sarum, a...
WIN a £65 set of Letts 11+ practice workbooks TODAY! #Revision
And so here we are at the end of the week – and Day 7 is all about the 11+. Yes, I know, for some of you this one’s not relevant – for others it’s a massively big deal. I grew up in Essex, and passed my 11+ to get to the local Girls Grammar (which I admit I loved every minute of). (And whether your child is sitting their 11+ this Autumn or not, these are a brilliant set of practice workbooks for any...
WIN a brilliant set of Letts KS2 ‘Wild About…’ workbooks TODAY! #Revision
And so we’ve made it all the way through to day six; are you still with me? Of course you are! We’ve looked at helping out all those that have scary-looking test and exams this year… but of course, not everyone has a test this year but that doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t enjoy or appreciate a library of useful workbooks on the home library shelf to dip into. It’s such a useful thing for every...
WIN a £90 set of Letts Complete A Level Study Guides TODAY! #Revision
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 this point, the studying gets serious, doesn’t it? There’s a big jump from GCSE to A Level, but I’ve found that because they’ve chosen to be there, and they’re studying the subjects they love best, there’s less resistance and more enthusiasm than they’ve had since...
Win A complete set of Letts ‘GCSE In A Week’ Cramming Guides | #Revision
So yesterday we featured the amazing bundle for GCSE students – but if you’ve got a 16yr old who’s taking their exams in just a few weeks time, then the time may be gone for starting from scratch in the big coursework guides. What they’re probably looking for right now is the best way to start cramming… and lookety look what Letts have offered you today: Yes – that’s Maths, Biology,...
