The Mid Surrey Family Grapevine Area

Here it is - the first issue of 2012. And with it comes a new look Grapevine. There have been a few different ‘looks’ over the last 16 years, but since taking over Photo the Family Grapevine Group with Nikki (one of the of founders) mid way through last year, we have worked Editor hard to find something that will withstand the test of changing trends and take us through a good few years to come. Some aspects are still a work in progress, but we are happy with the result now and hope readers and advertisers are as well. So keep an eye on the main website (see above on the heading) which is progressing well and will have lots of information to compliment our printed publications in due course.

If you have a good look through this issue, you will see quite a few schools have open days in March. There are also reader offers from a variety of businesses i.e. no booking fee applies if you quote a code for a babysitting service. Want some yummy cupcakes? Quote Grapevine for 10% off. And how about a lovely gift or keepsake, £10 off with the advert. There are more, so please support local businesses who are advertising to get their name out there and are working hard to supply you with a great service.

Do you have young children?

Do you have a Will?

Is this something you know you must do, but never get around to it? Make it a Resolution this month to get it done!

Without a Will, if both parents have died, the care of your children, who they live with, will be decided by the Courts.

Without a Will, the money you leave for your children’s care may not be managed the way that you wish, or by the persons you wish.

Please don’t leave these things to chance.

Shortland & Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on 020 8397 5176 or contact us at wills@shortlandsawbridge.co.uk A special discount is available to readers of the Family Grapevine. Mention this article when making your appointment and we will write your Will for the special price of just £145 each, or £175 for a pair.

 NEW ~ The Notice Board ~ NEW  Looking for quality and quantity? Give your house an affordable makeover.

When you’re buying new furniture and products for your home, have you ever thought about visiting a reuse organisation?

The Surrey Reuse Network offers a wide range of good quality items at affordable prices. Made up of a group of six charities, the network aims to find new homes for donated furniture and kitchen appliances, as well as offering training and employment opportunities and helping local families in need.

Buying reusable furniture and kitchen appliances is great value, good for the environment and you might just find a hidden treasure! You could pick up antique style armchairs for £60, a 4-piece table and chairs for £70, a sideboard for £25 and a tall lamp for just £5. Buying reusable items saves them from going to landfill, which is both financially and environmentally costly. To find your nearest reuse showroom call 0800 082 0180 or visit www.surreyreusenetwork.org.uk.

Multi-sensory pre-school classes launch Mention you saw this news in the Grapevine and get your first 3 classes for £10!

Hartbeeps – creators of multi-sensory play and music sessions - is launching its highly interactive and developmentally stimulating classes for babies and toddlers in Long Ditton Village Hall, Ewell Road, Long Ditton and St Paul’s Church Hall, Church Road, East Molesey this April.

The sessions are a completely different experience to traditional music and movement classes. Each week, an everyday environment such as ‘bath-time’, is explored as grown-ups and children work together to build a colourful, tactile wonderland to the backdrop of emotive and original music. Session leaders use music, beautiful lighting effects, puppetry, innovative props and a vast array of multi-sensory techniques to help support little ones’ creative development.

To book or for more information email emma@hartbeeps.com or call 07970 898436 Visit www.hartbeeps.com for more details on the sessions.

A - Z Support and Services Special Educational Needs – Unique parent-to-parent ebook launched to help SEN children get the help they need.

A mother of two autistic boys from Farnham, Surrey has published a new ebook aimed at helping other parents navigate their way through the special educational needs jungle.

While there are other books about the SEN system available, this book, by the creator of the website www.specialneedsjungle.co.uk, Tania Tirraoro, takes a parent-to-parent approach, explaining in detail how to prepare an application for a statutory assessment of special educational needs.

Tania said, “I’ve helped many parents with their applications and I realised that what they need is not an overview of the whole system, but a basic ‘how-to’, written in an accessible way. That is what I hope I’ve achieved.”

“I’ve been through the process twice and my boys, who both have Asperger Syndrome, now have access to the kind of education they need to help level the playing field in their future lives. Because I had the ability to present their cases methodically, they got the help they needed. Why should other children not have the same as my boys?”

The book is available in all ebook formats from Amazon Kindle and Smashwords.com. If parents do not have a Kindle, then Kindle for PC, ipad or smartphone can be downloaded for free from Amazon. co.uk. It makes this book accessible to every parent, instantly.

Tania has kindly donated one hard copy of this book, to be given to any reader of The Family Grapevine who has specific need for this information. Please contact Genevieve on 01372 209200 or email genevieve@surreyfamilygrapevine .co.uk

The focus of the has always been to keep it as a local resource of services for families, concentrating on antenatal to 18 years. By the time children are in their early teens some of the information is no longer applicable to them, however I try to incorporate a reasonable amount for that age group. It may not be the teenagers who read it, but there could be something useful for mums and dads to read up on.

It’s been a term and a half since the

big move to secondary school and I’ve settled in quickly. But I know some people aren’t as lucky as I was to find good friends straight away.

Not having friends can make school very difficult, and the longer a child is lonely, the harder it gets to feel like you fit in and are part of the class. This can be a very hard situation to be in and there should be someone to talk to.

There are usually people at every school who kids can speak to about friends, settling

in, and growing-up problems. Maybe they may not feel comfy talking to their class teacher with personal problems, so perhaps a parent helper/ teaching assistant, chaplain, or PSHE teacher. Some schools have peer listeners, who are senior pupils who would understand a younger pupil’s worries.

Talking to parents may also feel a bit awkward, so grandparents, aunts and uncles or

an older cousin may help (although perhaps not a younger brother!). If it is too difficult to talk to someone at school or home, then there are help-organisations who will listen to a child’s problems. There are organisations listed in this magazine who are experts in understanding and helping people. Children might not want to telephone strangers, but the internet gives you an easier option. Childline has a brilliant website with the chance to contact helpers by email, lots of information and even games.

If you are unhappy at school or just have a problem that’s upsetting

you, try not to worry. You aren’t alone because there are lots of people to help.

Reading Therapist

Maggie Tanner BA(Hons), PGCE, PGDip.Counselling I use a new way of teaching reading, spelling and verbal intelligence.

• Free - an initial test, to show why a child is unable to read effectively and a short lesson to demonstrate how I will teach what is needed.

• A simple structured course of 12-15 hours that is easy to do and understand, which will bring a child to reading age.

• An original and stimulating course, designed to develop a child’s vocabulary, creativity, memory and thinking skills.

1 in 3 children struggles to read effectively.

Many children have poor verbal intelligence, reflected in their written work.

New exciting parties for children-INDOOR GOLF! Kids’ Golf Parties is a new company formed on the back of the recent success of its sister company S-Cool Golf Days.

We aim to give children the most enjoyable, exciting and fun golfing experience. The parties combine teaching with innovative games and activities using an array of large colourful targets, child friendly equipment and safe foam balls.

Our team are highly trained professionals with a wealth of experience working with children. The golf experiences we have run at schools over the past five years are highly commended. In 2012 we hope to establish ourselves in the Elmbridge area for providing memorable golf parties.

Dandelion Theatre Arts

www.dandeliontheatrearts.co.uk

We are a small theatre school with big ambition. Our drama and dance classes, including tap, theatre craft, contemporary and street, are taken by working professionals who are also seasoned and very effective instructors.

We run West-End themed workshops every school holiday and put on three all-school productions three times a year. As well as passing on our love of performance and sharing the skills needed to master and enjoy each discipline, our aim is provide as close an experience to being involved in musical theatre as we can – the excitement, the thrills and sometimes the spills of being on stage.
