Keep your family safe with a smoke alarm By Avon Fire & Rescue Service Working smoke alarms are one of the best ways of keeping your little ones safe if a fire breaks out in the home. And although more households than ever own smoke alarms, most of us aren’t brilliant at checking they are working. That’s why Avon Fire & Rescue Service is encouraging parents in particular to take a couple of seconds to test their alarms. James Bladon from Avon Fire & Rescue Service said: “We know that smoke alarms can be frustrating

if they go off when you burn the toast and it may be tempting to remove the batteries. “If that’s a familiar story please make today the day you replace them or fit a new alarm. A little inconvenience is a price worth paying if it means your family escapes from a fire. The risk of dying in a house fire increases by four times if smoke alarms aren’t working, so a 10 second chore is a tiny price to pay. “If you would like more advice we will be happy to come to your home to provide information and fit free smoke alarms.” For more information visit www.avonfire.gov.uk where you will also find details of the Home Fire Safety Visit service. Firefighters will visit your home to provide advice specific to your family’s needs and circumstances. Smoke alarms will also be fitted free of charge if required.

FREE SCHOOL MEALS From September 2014, the Government will be providing healthy free school meals to all children in the first three years of primary school – reception and years 1 & 2 . There’s no need to apply, your child is automatically eligible you simply have to notify your child’s school that he/she will be having the free school lunch. Free school meals for older children If your child is eligible for free school meals, it’s worth registering them. This is because schools receive a ‘Pupil Premium’ - an extra payment for each eligible child, which they can spend on services to help them do their very best. Registering might also get you extra help for things like music lessons or school trips. Your child doesn’t have to eat the free meal, although it is recommended that they do as they will get a free, healthy lunch each day and you could save more than £350 per year.

£34 MILLION REDEVELOPMENT OF KEYNSHAM ON TRACK Bath & North East Somerset Council is on track to complete its £34 million redevelopment of Keynsham by the Autumn. The Council is working with the local community to revitalise the town with new jobs, new homes, and a revamped town centre. Plans include making better use of the existing town hall site to improve the town centre and encourage more private sector investment into Keynsham. A Sainsbury’s Local was last month confirmed as the first letting for the development, and will create 20 to 25 full and part job opportunities. The Council has confirmed that Loungers cafe has agreed to take the unit behind Sainsbury’s, overlooking the park and a further unnamed occupier is relocating from Riverside. The Council is proactively marketing the remaining units and negotiations are underway on a number of these. The new buildings will be known as the Keynsham Civic Centre, and will incorporate Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Offices, the One Stop Shop and retail units. The Council has also confirmed that a new street being created between the buildings will be called Market Walk, which links to the history of this part of the town, as well as looking to the future when there will be market stalls at this location. Keynsham Civic Centre will be amongst the most energyefficient in the country, with work to install one of the largest council-owned solar panel systems in the UK now completed. The 750 solar panels – which cover an area equivalent to more than four tennis courts - will generate over 230,000 units of electricity each year, equivalent to the annual energy use of almost 70 homes. This will benefit the Council by around £50,000 every year, and reduce annual CO2 emissions by 125 tonnes. Over 20 years the benefits are expected to reach almost £1.5 million, and avoid CO2 emissions of 2,355 tonnes. Cllr David Bellotti (LibDem, Lyncombe), the Council’s Cabinet Member for Community Resources, said: “This is a very exciting time for Keynsham and I have no doubt that this development will provide a real boost to the local economy with the creation of new jobs, better shopping facilities and a more attractive town centre. “It is also a key part of the Council’s contribution to the district-wide carbon emission reduction target of 45% by 2026.”

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCHOOL The last year of primary brings a fresh set of challenges (and not just keeping a dry eye at the final class assembly/leavers’ disco) because you need to start choosing your preferred secondary school. It’s a decision that seriously stresses some of the most discerning parents, so how do you go about deciding which secondary school is best for your child? The big question is: do you choose a school or does a school choose you, or, more to the point your child? And the answer is: it’s a bit of both because, while it’s up to you – and your child – to decide which schools are worth applying for, it’s then up to the school to say yes or no to your application. How do you as parents decide between all the different schools? It’s best to use as many sources as you can to decide which school is best for your child: ask around, be aware of a school’s reputation, read their Ofsted reports online, look at the exam results, browse the school website and of course, visit the school.

Supporting your child through the change to secondary school Starting secondary school is a significant milestone in a child’s life. It marks a passage into adolescence and brings about several significant changes.They will go from being the oldest in school to being the youngest, having to find their way around a large new school with different teachers for different subjects.They will also have to take on more responsibility. All of this will have to fit into your child’s new routine, alongside their other interests and the often daunting prospect of becoming a teenager. Stay connected Once your child is at secondary school, you may feel more isolated and out of touch with other parents and carers as well as with the school. It may help to: • check the schools website for details of events and attend as many as you can. • contact the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) • talk to your child’s form tutor about any problems • make sure the school is aware of any changes at home, such as parental separation.Where relevant, make sure the school also contacts the non-resident parent. Settling into secondary school The move to secondary school can come as a shock to both parents and children.You may feel your child isn’t ready to take the responsibility for what is probably a longer journey to school, perhaps using public transport.They will usually have more books and equipment to carry around and may find it difficult to stay organised. At secondary school, your child will be expected to take greater responsibility for their own organisation.You can help to encourage this at home with the following tips: • Encourage your child to get organised for school the evening before. This can save them (and you!) a lot of undue stress in the morning.

In your area parents and children are invited at the start of Year 6 to visit schools. They can, of course, make an appointment sooner, but open evenings are targeted at that year group. How schools organise their open days, and how useful they are, varies enormously. Open days for popular and over-subscribed schools are usually extremely busy and your chances to speak to individuals may be limited. Other schools have well-planned programmes with plenty of opportunities to talk to both staff and pupils. Open days are designed to help you as parents view all prospective schools and gain as much knowledge and information as possible. It’s also reassuring for your child to be shown around and get a feel for their new school as it’s a big change for them, moving up to secondary education can be daunting. Have a good look around and encourage your child to ask questions that are important to them, this can only give them confidence and prepare them for the next stage of their education.

Remind them to check their timetable for the following day, pack their bag and lay out their uniform if necessary. • Try and resist the temptation to do everything.Your child needs to learn to manage their time efficiently and they won’t do it if you get everything ready for them. • At this age, children start to want more privacy when they’re getting ready. Consider organising a schedule for the bathroom in the mornings so no-one is made late by waiting. • Your child will probably have several homework tasks to complete each night, and most schools record this in a homework diary. Make a note to yourself to read and sign the diary at least once a week to make sure your child is keeping up with their assignments. • Have a calendar on display at home clearly marked with different equipment needed for different days (sports kit, music, projects etc.) Encourage the habit of looking at the schedule the night before and organising schoolbags there and then. • If your child is getting to school on public transport for the first time, find out if any friends live nearby so they can travel together. • Use every opportunity to keep in contact with the school - this may be more difficult now that classes are bigger and your child has many different subject teachers. However, if the school has a website, be sure to check regularly for information updates and news. Once your child has started school, make time to talk and listen to your child each day to check how things are going. Just giving attention in this way can help your child feel supported and more confident. However, resist the temptation to ask too many questions, especially when a child first gets home from school and is likely to be tired, hungry and short-tempered from coping with many new people and things. If your child is attending boarding school, make arrangements for him or her to be able to contact you or other members of the family on agreed days and times, providing him or her with a phone card.

TEN TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM AN OPEN DAY 1. Take your child with you – you need a child’s eye view as well as your own, and they’ll notice things you miss.

Independent Co-educational All age

A school for the whole family

Choosing your next school

2. Think about whether you find the open day chaotic, friendly, efficient or improvised? The organisation of the day’s events can give many clues to the general running of a school. 3. Pay attention to the pupils themselves - do they seem happy and motivated? Do they speak positively about their teachers and school-life?– Pupils are the best ambassadors for any school. 4. Don’t make decisions based on individual teachers – they may have left by the time your child starts school. 5. Don’t get too bogged down in the details - try to get a ‘feel’ for the school atmosphere. Write down your first impressions. 6. Feel free to ask questions if you want to, particularly of pupils – what do they think of the teaching – do they enjoy life at the school? 7. Look at the work on display. Does it represent a broad range of ability? A school should value every child. 8. Does the school offer extra-curricular activities such as sports and clubs – so your child can develop their interests? This also shows that the teachers are motivated and enthusiastic. 9. Find out about the lunch arrangements - are there healthy school meals available and what do they cost? What are the other options, eg packed lunch? 10. Remember - listen to your instincts.

GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY The day your child starts school for the very first time marks a huge milestone in family life. Gone are the days when your little rug-rat was devoted to you and you alone - and now they are venturing out alone into the world. However, many parents make one big mistake which means that starting school becomes more, not less, stressful for thousands of four-year-olds across the UK who are getting ready for their big day. Often parents are so worried about how their children will cope that they ignore their own anxiety which results in a stressed-out mum or dad struggling with their emotions - with disastrous consequences for the child. If you’re the emotional type - and we challenge even the most stoic not to

feel a little bit wobbly as your precious small person totters through the school gate - then its worth thinking about what might set you off and doing a few simple things to prepare yourself. You will feel confident that you won’t be dissolving into tears as you approach the school gates - which will mean your child should bounce into school filled with confidence rather than trepidation! Play expert Dawn Burden says: “No parent wants to be the one in the playground sobbing behind dark glasses. But unless parents prepare themselves for the start of school, this is often what ends up happening. If a child looks to their parents for reassurance and sees someone struggling with their emotions it creates huge anxiety, making settling into school trickier than it should be.”

HOMEWORK TIPS Helping your child with reading Reading with your child is vital. Research shows that it’s the single most important thing you can do to help your child’s education. It’s best to read little and often, so try to put aside some time for it every day. Think of ways to make reading fun - you want your child to learn how pleasurable books can be. If you’re both enjoying talking about the content of a particular page, linger over it for as long as you like. Books aren’t just about reading the words on the page, they can also present new ideas and topics for you and your child to discuss. Tips for helping your child to enjoy books: Encourage your child to pretend to ‘read’ a book before he or she can read words. Visit the library as often as possible - take out CDs and DVDs as well as books. Schedule a regular time for reading - perhaps when you get home from school or just before bed. Look for books on topics that you know your child is interested in - maybe dragons, insects, cookery or a certain sport. Make sure that children’s books are easily accessible in different rooms around your house.

Helping your child with maths As with reading, try to make maths as much fun as possible - games, puzzles and jigsaws are a great way to start. It’s also important to show how we use maths skills in our everyday lives and to involve your child in this. Identifying problems and solving them can also help your child develop maths skills. If you see him or her puzzling over something, talk about the problem and try to work out the solution together. Don’t shy away from maths if you didn’t like it at school. Try to find new ways to enjoy the subject with your child. Tips for helping your child to enjoy maths: Point out the different shapes to be found around your home. Take your child shopping and talk about the quantities of anything you buy. Let your child handle money and work out how much things cost. Look together for numbers on street signs and car registration plates.

Tips for good homework habits • Do find a quiet place at home to use as a homework area. It needs a flat surface, a good light source and the right equipment eg pens, pencils, ruler, scissors, glue. • Do be aware of modern teaching methods, eg in long division. • Do plan a homework timetable and agree on when your child will do their homework. • Do allow your child to have something nutritional to eat before starting on homework. • Do discuss any homework tasks with your child and how it connects with what they are studying at school. • Do turn off the TV - but you could have music on if they find it helpful. • Don’t give your child the answer in order to get a task finished. Instead, explain how to look up information or find a word in a dictionary. • Don’t teach your child methods you used at school. It could confuse them. • Don’t let homework become a chore. Keep it fun and make it a special time that you both look forward to.

Helping workers with UK’s biggest mental health problem

Tough economic times combined with rising levels of job uncertainty are boosting stress levels and psychological ill-health, experts say. Depression at work is not a new issue but it is on the rise and old taboos urging us to hide the problem from colleagues persist

even today. Depression is the most common disorder in Britain with one in four people experiencing some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year. Feeling sad or fed up is a normal reaction to upsetting or stressful experiences but those feelings usually pass. But depression is more than that - it is an illness which means that intense feelings of persistent sadness, helplessness and hopelessness are accompanied by physical effects such as sleeplessness, a loss of energy, or physical aches and pains. Sometimes people may not realise how depressed they are, especially if they have been feeling this way for a long time, if they have been trying to cope with their depression by keeping themselves

busy, or if their symptoms are more physical than emotional. Depression Alliance says not being able to see the illness in the same way as you could with a broken arm or leg can often make it difficult for sufferers to explain to others why they find it so hard to get out of bed or are unable to concentrate at work. Sufferers often feel unable to talk to their family, colleagues and friends about what they’re experiencing and may feel like they have to hide it from those around them. They might hope it will go away by itself, or that they just need to “toughen up” and “snap out of it”. Indeed, it’s often something that can go up and down and can sometimes take a long time until it becomes manageable.

Hidden dangers of chickenpox The case of a four-year-old boy who ended up in hospital fighting for his life after catching chickenpox has highlighted the potential dangers of this common childhood illness. Christine Mullan urged parents to be aware of the virus after her son James spent six days in hospital when he contracted streptococcal and staphylococcus bacteria infections. The Northern Irish mum said she did not want other parents going through what their family had endured and urged them to be aware of how fast and dangerous the condition can be. She says her son’s temperature soared, he was irritable and refused to eat or drink. Christine gave him paracetamol but when the child’s face swelled up and he could not bear to look at light she rushed him to hospital. Chickenpox is caused by the varicellazoster virus which spreads quickly and

easily through coughs and sneezes. The illness is usually seen in children under 10 and is in fact so common that 90% of adults are immune to the condition because they’ve had it before. Most children catch it at some point and the tell-tale signs of red, itchy spots that turn into fluid-filled blisters are often the source of much childhood debate and comparison. Some children have only a few red, itchy spots, but others can be covered

entirely - driven to distraction with the torment. The spots are most likely to appear on the face, ears and scalp, under the arms, on the chest and belly and on the arms and legs. It is highly infectious from one to two days before the rash starts, until all the blisters have crusted over, usually within five or six days after the start of the rash. For most children, chickenpox is a mild illness that gets better on its own. A fever often accompanies the first few days of the illness and the symptoms can be eased with paracetamol, calamine lotion and cooling gels. In most cases, the blisters crust up and fall off naturally within one to two weeks. However, some children can become more seriously ill and need to see a doctor immediately if the blisters become infected, they suffer chest pain or have difficulty breathing.

Fish, fish and more fish We are often being told of the benefits of fish in our diets, with recommendations that we should all be eating at least two portions of the oily variety, such as salmon, every week. But according to recent research, we are nearly all neglecting the health benefits that this readilyavailable and low-cost protein offers. According to Dr Rachael Gibbs of the University of Reading, both men and women are falling below the recommended intakes of omega 3 oils - easily obtainable through regular consumption of fish such as fresh or smoked salmon. This means, according to scientific study, that we are not reaping the benefits which can start as early as in the womb and take us through to old age.

HEALTHY LUNCH BOXES Thanks to Jamie Oliver, school dinners have had a radical overhaul. But what about the lunch boxes we pack for our children? It’s just as important to make sure the lunchbox your child takes to school provide a healthy, balanced lunch as when they eat at home. This means plenty of foods which contain the nutrients children need and fewer foods which are high in sugar and saturated fat. Packing the lunchbox A balanced packed lunch should contain: Starchy foods. These are bread, rice, potatoes and pasta, and others. Protein foods. These are meat, fish, eggs, beans and others. A dairy item. This could be cheese or yoghurt. Vegetables or salad, and a portion of fruit. Starchy foods are a good source of energy, and should make up a third of the lunchbox. But don’t let things get boring. Instead of sandwiches give kids bagels, pitta bread, wraps and baguettes. Use brown, wholemeal or seeded bread, not white bread. Children often like food they can eat with their fingers, so chop up raw veggies such as carrots or peppers, and give them humous or cottage cheese to dip the veggies in. Breadsticks and wholemeal crackers are great finger foods and they can be spread with low-fat soft cheese or eaten with reduced-fat cheddar and pickles.

Replace chocolate bars and cakes with fresh fruit, dried fruit or unsalted nuts. Vary the fruit each day and get them to try new things, like kiwi or melon. You could also make up a tasty fruit salad. Be inventive and encourage your children when they try something new. Making healthier food It may take a while for your children to get used to a healthier lunchbox. But it will be worth it for their health, so keep trying. You can help by eating a wider range of foods at home, as a family. Reading supermarket food labels can help you to buy healthier foods for your child’s lunch, and for family meal times. Save chocolate and cakes for occasional treats. Remember to praise your child when they’ve tried something new, to show your encouragement.

HEYMAG.CO.UK | 23 The learning day has changed: school’s are being encouraged to offer wrap around care and this means the school day can run from 8am-6pm and pupils are encouraged to start the day with a breakfast club and finish with an after-school club. This is great news for working parents - now you can top and tail the day with good quality childcare.

empty house or having to make alternative arrangements. Finally, relationships formed with adult leaders and with peers at the clubs are important. Adults and peers at these organisations can serve as models and as sources of social support, friendship, and caring. Several developmental theories point to the importance of adult mentoring for child and adolescent development. Mentoring relationships are important characteristics of clubs and youth programs. Adolescents who have an after-school relationship with a mentor are far less likely to use drugs or alcohol than adolescents who do not have such relationships. Peer relations might also benefit from participation in clubs. “Hanging out” unsupervised with peers contributes negatively to child and adolescent development. However, participation in supervised constructive activities provides adolescents with opportunities to gain social skills from positive interactions with peers. Contrary to popular belief that the nation’s youngsters are couch potatoes obsessed with television and video games, millions of children are involved in five or more hobbies or interests. Girls are the more expensive of the sexes, costing their parents an average of £472 a year. More than one in 10 girls have five hobbies or interests, with ballet the most expensive. Boys’ hobbies are slightly less likely to break the bank with a price tag of £418 a year. Twelve per cent regularly participate in five activities, with football topping the bill. More than half go swimming, and just over a third see themselves as cycling champions. For girls, swimming is the most popular hobby, followed by singing and ballet. The research, commissioned by Abbey National and involving 650 parents, found that one in four children regularly takes part in at least five hobbies. Swimming costs an average £92 a year, football £132 a year, cycling £69 a year, art £51 and singing £39.

Clubs and classes for school-age children are not just before and after school, but can run at weekends and during holidays. These clubs can encourage children to take part in a new hobby, meet new friends and extend their social network; all great skills for developing and growing. Club membership provides an opportunity to participate in new roles. The leadership roles that are available in clubs provide a valuable experience that is not generally available to young people. Other roles, such as being a helper in a service club, a soloist in a music club, or an artist making scenery in a drama club, enable identity exploration. Not only are after-school clubs fun, but they also help boost children’s self-esteem and self-confidence. We want happy, selfconfident children because they are motivated and can achieve more. By offering after-school activities our children get the chance to succeed in a different area, then they can take success and use it to overcome barriers in the subjects they find difficult. Raising the self-esteem of children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, is a central mission of the extended schools programme, as is keeping children safe and healthy. Clubs keep the children busy and active and healthy after school. The children are safe, they are engaged in learning and they are being supervised. The clubs also give peace of mind to parents while saving parents worrying about children going home to an

BACK TO SCHOOL

TOP TIPS FOR SETTLING BACK INTO SCHOOL To avoid any back-to-school blues and really get back into it, read our top tips for braving the classroom again. 1. MAKE a firm decision to stick to your new routine and timetable - this will help you get back into the swing of things more easily. Get up when your alarm goes off and get to wherever you need to be on time - whether it’s the school bus stop or your science lesson.

2. YOUR first day back is a good chance to clean your desk and make sure you’ve got a healthy and hygienic new work station.You can always jazz it up with some fun stationery or pictures if you’re allowed. 3. TRY to make sure you take some healthy food to school. Pick snack foods that boost your health like fresh fruit and low-fat dairy products. Also try to drink water throughout the day as this will help to keep you active and your brain sharp. 4. THROW yourself into any sports or exercise you do. Really making an effort will help to make up for any lack of activity over the holidays and get you going again. 5. PAY attention to the way you sit in your chair - try sit as straight as possible. Good posture is great for your back and is good training for later life. It will also help you to feel more alert and you’ll be more comfortable. 6. IF you get homework to do, don’t groan - just try and get it done as soon as possible. The longer you leave things, the worse they feel and the bigger the job seems. Do it straight away, and then you can relax and enjoy yourself. 7. IF you walk or cycle home from school, remember to make sure you’re seen. Wear bright clothing or reflective stickers on your bag and jacket and always pay special attention if it’s dark. Try to walk with someone who lives near you so you’re not on your own.

PARTY TIME LET’S PARTY!

One of the joys of having children is being able to create magic and fantasy for them, and seeing the sheer delight on their faces at the sight of something special. Birthday Parties are a great chance to bring some of that magic to a child, or to a group of kids, and although it can be hard work the results and memories for the child make it more than worthwhile. The range of choice for Birthday Parties these days is staggering, and like everything else, it is hard to please all the people all the time - even the little people! However, it is worth remembering that it is the kids you want to impress, not their parents! To get organised, write yourself a Party Plan. Simplify the Plan by choosing the elements you want to concentrate on, broken down into VITAL and OPTIONAL. To get you started on choosing what to do, make lots of calls and get lots of quotes, catalogues and advice to help you with ideas and how to manage your budget. Once you have decided on the options, send the invitations out

two or three weeks before the party date, with an RSVP, so you can work out numbers. Party venues may provide these when you book, or you can buy themed cards to match your party. Don’t forget the Thank You cards for afterwards! Having a special birthday cake made to order is a treat for the kids, and time-saving for you! Going to town on table decorations adds to the atmosphere, and there is lots of choice around to match your chosen theme. Outside catering can take a lot of the strain from you, and is not necessarily costly. Whatever your budget, don’t lose sight of the reason for the party - enjoyment all round. Ask the little Birthday Person what sort of party they would like (within reason!) and who they want to invite - get some advice from teachers and playgroup leaders if you don’t know all your child’s friends. Spend your money and your time wisely. If money is tight, make the things you can yourself and only spend on the things you can’t. Even if you have a reasonable budget you don’t need to go overboard - it is better to do a few things very well than try and do too much and end up in a muddle!
