ello and welcome to our July to November magazine which we hope you will find really useful over the next few months.

This magazine is packed to bursting with things to do, great prizes to win, discounts, family activities, help and support information, puzzles and more. We have found masses of local family friendly events and we are constantly adding them to our website. A huge thank you to all our amazing advertisers. Please tell them that you saw them in the Family Grapevine when you contact them. Another huge thank you to all the venues who take copies for you to pick up. If you know anywhere else that would like to take free copies for their customers, please let me know. Finally a huge thank you to all of you, our readers. Please continue to stay in touch with me to let me know what you would like to see in the next magazine. We love to receive all your comments.

I love it when my children bring home the Family Grapevine magazine in their school bags. There’s always so much information in it and I particularly love the “What’s on” section - we always try to visit one or two places that you’ve suggested. It’s bright and colourful too - always makes it a pleasure to read through - thanks. Jenny

We love it! The kids love doing the quizzes/word searches etc and I love seeing what’s on in the area to occupy the family during the hols! We love it and always use the vouchers/money off coupons. Clare Working the Family Grapevine group is such a pleasure. It is hard work but always worthwhile, especially when we hear from our readers. If you know of anyone who lives in the Brighton area who might like to join our friendly group, please see the advert on page 4 I hope you have a wonderful Summer and Autumn, the next magazine comes out in early November

In This Issue The Summer Reading Challenge heads to space This summer, The Reading Agency and libraries will be taking children across England, Scotland and Wales on a journey into space. Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, Space Chase will take young readers on an out-of-thisworld adventure with our super space family, The Rockets. The Challenge touches down in libraries across the UK this summer and features bespoke artwork from top children’s illustrator Adam Stower. The Summer Reading Challenge is an annual event aimed at 4-11 year olds. Children are encouraged to read six books of their choice during the summer holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate and medal for every child who completes the challenge. There are also a range of competitions open throughout the summer on the Summer Reading Challenge website. Children can sign up for the Challenge at their local library at the start of the summer holidays– and it is completely free. This year is also the 20th anniversary of the Summer Reading Challenge.This year the challenge starts on Saturday 13th July. www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk

Dragons’ Den backed theatre school launches in Horsham Horsham is set to welcome a brand new part-time theatre school that won the backing of ‘Dragon’ Duncan Bannatyne back in 2007 on BBC’s Dragons’ Den. With its unique mix of both commercial and musical theatre styles of singing, dancing and drama, the Saturday theatre school has plenty of opportunities for those that want to learn new skills. Razzamataz Horsham launches on Saturday 7th September at The Forest School, Horsham. The school is run by Caroline Kavanagh who is passionate about inspiring the next generation. With a background in Musical Theatre, Caroline trained at Mountview Academy of performing Arts and has always wanted to run her own theatre school. “I’m very excited about the launch and would like to invite all local children to come along” adds Caroline.

CAN YOU WORK OUT THESE

Puffy Paint Picture Making your own puffy paint and painting a puffy paint picture is fun for kids of all ages and uses basic supplies only. Have a go and see what the kids can create! We think it is particularly appropriate for a minibeasts picture because of the lovely 3D textural quality the puffy paint provides.

You will need: Flour, Salt, Water, Food colouring, Card Instructions: Mix together equal parts flour, salt and water. Divide into separate containers and add a couple of drops of food colouring to each, creating as many colours as you like. Spread the pastes thickly onto the card using cotton buds to make your picture.
