Greenfields School Celebrates 30th Anniversary Private school education for as little as £57 per week

Greenfields is an independent, non-denominational, day and boarding school nestled on the edge of the Ashdown Forest that services children from 2 to 18.

It has an active Montessori based Pre-school, Reception classes, junior, senior, 6th Form and EFL classes.

It recently celebrated 30 years in Forest Row with eleven separate events, hosting people from all over the world.

Greenfields teaches national curriculum and runs like any other independent school with the exception that it utilises a unique study method. This method isolates the barriers preventing or hindering a child from learning and then provides precise tools to deal with them. Its use opens the door to any child of any ability learning anything. This, along with small class sizes and plenty of individual attention, allows ‘gifted’ children to study ahead of their year group where feasible, or slower children to receive extra help when necessary. Greenfields also adheres to a strong moral code with a zero tolerance of bullying, drugs or alcohol.

Visitors to the school routinely comment on the high morale, confidence and friendliness of the children. These attributes were also noted by the Independent Schools Inspectorate* when they inspected in 2011. Three inspectors over a period of two weeks looked into every aspect of the school's performance. The study methods were new to them and they looked at them with great interest. The school was rated overall as “Good” and one observer noted: “Pupils of all abilities display good subject knowledge, understanding and skills. They acquire secure literacy and numeracy skills, and develop a capacity to think critically. Many pupils show strong creative skills, in writing, art work and drama. Pupils are very articulate, listen carefully and contribute well when asked. They are motivated, and work independently and with enthusiasm.”

Greenfields is proud of what it has achieved in the last 30 years and also of the many children who have gone on to excel in their various careers. In celebration of its 30th Anniversary it radically reduced tuition fees in order to make private school education accessible to more people.

Although this resulted in the pre-school, in particular, doubling in size, limited places are still available in some year groups. You are invited to tour the school and get your questions answered!

MARCH 2014 Welcome to our March issue

There’s a definite feel that Spring is just around the corner within our pages this month. We’re putting the winter behind us and are creating bright and airy rooms in our Homes article and growing peppers for those salad days to come in our Gardening pages.

Don’t forget that Mother’s Day falls on 30th March this year and our Health article this month is in praise of all those Mums out there and how important it is for them to get some rest and relaxation now and again.

Elsewhere we have fabulous spring floral ideas for home accessories and add a splash of sunshine with our mellow yellows in our spring fashion product feature.

All this and of course our regular (and ever growing!) community pages, where you can find out what is happening in your local area.

Community Noticeboard March is here and our community section is filled with great local goings on and fantastic fundraising ideas.

This month, I’ve been uncovering all the details you need to know about getting involved with Marie Curie’s annual Great Daffodil Appeal, as well as Crawley charity St Catherine’s blooming marvellous Open Garden’s, taking place from next month across Sussex and Surrey.

Crawley MP Henry Smith also tells us about the plans for the government’s £50 million investment into Gatwick Rail Station.

So, grab a cup of tea and enjoy!

I was delighted by the Government’s announcement that it will contribute £50 million of funding for the comprehensive redevelopment of Gatwick Airport’s railway station, signalling and track capacity.

The announcement is part of the Government’s National Infrastructure Plan to invest £375 billion into 646 infrastructure improvement projects across the country aimed at hauling our nation’s infrastructure into the twenty-first century.

The £50 million investment, which will improve Gatwick Airport’s rail service for local commuters and air passengers alike, recognises Gatwick’s vital role as a major UK gateway and local economic driver. The issue of tackling the UK’s airport capacity in the short term is crucial to our nation’s long term economic prosperity and so moves to improve surface connectivity with Gatwick Airport go a significant way to easing that pressure.

Of the 35 million passengers using Gatwick Airport each year, 14 million arrive or depart by rail; making it the busiest airport station in the UK with links to 120 stations throughout London and the south east.

We are now working on our May issue (closing date for entries is 28th March), so do get your group details and events to us as soon as possible, we will publish them on a first-come-first-served basis.

Date for your Diary Sunday 2nd March 11am -3pm Crawley, Reigate and District Cat’s Protection Homing Show Come and meet the cats looking for a new home. Free entry.

The Great Daffodil Appeal Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal kicks off across the country on 1st March.

Volunteer collectors will be out in force throughout the month of March encouraging everyone to give a donation and wear one of the charity’s daffodil pins.

All funds raised by the appeal will help Marie Curie Nurses

provide more care for people with terminal illnesses, at the time when they need the most support.

Since the first Great Daffodil Appeal took place in 1986, more than £70 million has been raised to fund the charity’s work.

The Great Daffodil Appeal doesn’t just raise much-needed funds; it also raises awareness of Marie Curie services and the need for high quality nursing care for people with terminal illnesses.

For more information call 0845 601 3107 (local rate) or visit www.mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil.

Whether you sink or swim, water based exercise can be good for everyone.

Swimming exercises all major muscle groups of the body as well as the heart and lungs making it a great activity for overall fitness.

Swimming is also good for weight loss as it exercises most major muscle groups simultaneously. Half an hour of front crawl will burn between 250 and 400 calories depending on the speed and intensity of your swim. This is more than you would burn on a 30 minute bike ride and is comparable to 30 minutes of jogging.

Swimming is a non-impact activity – the water acts a cushion around your body placing less strain on the joints – so it’s good for everyone, even those with injuries. If you are suffering from a muscle or joint injury swimming can help you recover whilst still allowing you to exercise. It’s also a great exercise for those suffering with arthritis. Blood flow to the joints is increased through the gentle swimming motion while the water supports the body.

14 - COMMUNITY PAGES

In addition to swimming, water-based classes such as aqua aerobics are offered at K2 Crawley and are a popular social event as well as providing health benefits.

How often should I get in the water?

To improve fitness it is important to swim for a continuous period. If you are new to the pool, aim for 15 minutes of continuous swimming, three times a week and build this up gradually.

If weight loss is your goal, keeping at a steady pace you will help you to continue swimming for a longer period and burn the optimum amount of calories.

K2 Crawley is urging swimmers to sign up and join in with the World’s Biggest Swim. The event, which is supported by legendary swimmer Olympian Duncan Goodhew, takes place on Saturday 22nd March and will raise vital funds for Sport Relief.

Glazed Salmon Skewers with Sesame Noodles This is a great way to jazz up salmon – with a Japanese teriyaki sauce glaze served with sesame flavoured noodles. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading on the strips of salmon to prevent them from burning under the hot grill.

Ingredients 4 x salmon fillets, skinned 6 tbsp teriyaki sauce 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed 250g packet medium egg noodles 2 tsp sesame seed oil

18 - FOOD AND DRINK

Method 1 tsp grated root ginger 6 salad onions, trimmed and thinly sliced 40g radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced 2 tbsp sesame seeds 30ml honey, warmed

R H UNCOVERED

Slice each salmon fillet widthways into 2 strips and place the strips in a shallow dish. Mix together the teriyaki sauce and garlic and pour over the salmon. Cover and leave to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium.

Thread the strips of salmon onto 8 wooden skewers.

Grill the salmon skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side until just cooked through.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain well. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large non-stick frying pan and add the ginger, spring onions, radishes and sesame seeds.

Stir fry for 2-3 minutes then add the noodles and toss well to mix.

Just before serving, brush the salmon skewers with the warmed honey and grill for a further few minutes. Divide the sesame noodles between four serving bowls and top with the salmon skewers.

TIP: To save time buy a small jar of ready prepared ginger puree rather than buying fresh root ginger – once opened it will keep in the fridge for a few weeks and is great for adding an Oriental flavour to rice and stir fries.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Most people’s experiences of filming their family movies on Camcorder tapes & VHS was that, once we’d filmed them, we probably watched them once played back through the TV and then consigned them to a box in the loft and haven’t seen them since.

All those treasured memories – literally lost in the loft!

Lost in The Loft’s personalised service includes picking up your tapes, converting them to professionally-edited and chaptered DVD’s and then delivering them back to your door.

They can deal with any formats you may have: VHS, Camcorder tapes, even your old forgotten 8mm Cine films.

And don’t forget those Photos and 35mm Slides. They can be scanned in, set to music and put into a Slideshow.

When you’ve run out of ideas for a thoughtful present for a loved one for Birthdays or those landmark occasions, what could be better than transferring their precious tapes onto DVD to let them re-live the memories again and again?

serious illnesses and/or experiencing difficulties.

Women of all ages, shapes and sizes are celebrating their femininity and undertaking a boudoir-style photographic session.

A testimonial from a lady diagnosed with terminal breast cancer declared that her photographs are a wonderful reminder of the journey she’s been on.

‘Boudoir’ is a genre of photography which aims to capture the sensuality and natural beauty of a woman. It’s about the ‘implied’ rather than the ‘explicit’; creating images which are a permanent and personal reminder of a woman’s beauty.

Boudoir-Me supports women who are going through (or have been through)

Boudoir-Me offer a range of ‘packages’ to suit all budgets; however if a client has something different in mind then we are always open to discuss different variations and ideas.

A Boudoir-Me photo-shoot is also a great present for a ‘bride to be’ (even a hen party!), ‘mum to be’ or for a birthday or anniversary. However you don’t need an excuse - our female photographer will put you at ease and ensure you feel relaxed throughout your shoot ‘whatever’ your reason.

Your Mum is so much more than ‘just a Mum’.

Wanted. Hard worker. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To wait on me hand and foot. Feed me, clean me and comfort me even when I don’t know why I’m upset. Learn on the job and no manual included.

Would you apply?

I wonder how many would apply if they saw this advert in a job search?

These amazing people, known as ‘Mothers’, take this on day after day, potentially for up to 18 years or even more.

So with Mother’s Day looming, how about making Mums the number one priority?

So how about treating your Mum to some ‘Me’ time this March?

There are so many different types of ways, which sometimes can include the little ones too.

How about booking your Mum in for a hypnotherapy session just for relaxation? A great idea if they feel they haven’t slept properly for months.

Working with Mums individually or in groups over the past few years, one thing really stands out.

They often feel that admitting their anxiety or their need for emotional support is seen as ‘not being strong enough’.

Or try a relaxing massage or a Reiki session or two?

These can also be enjoyed with your little one, or even your big ones too. There are some fantastic wellness and holistic centres in Sussex and Surrey.

What I feel any therapist does is to act as a catalyst, enhancing a Mother’s natural skills, allowing them to realise that asking for help is not a failure, but something that strengthens them and their bond with their young.

My sister asked me the other day if I’d hypnotised my new two month old niece, as (unusually) she’d slept for hours. Personally I think she knew if she opened her eyes I’d sing again, and sleep was the better option.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes.

A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you've been watching TV and not heard a word that's been said, even though you've been staring straight at the screen.

Alternatively it's the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place. Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident.

What can hypnotherapy help with?  Addictions (e.g. alcoholism, nicotine)  Anger management  Anxiety  Blushing  Bruxism (teeth grinding)  Chronic Fatigue Syndrome*  Depression  Eating Disorders  Exam Nerves  Fear of Flying  Food Addiction  Gastric Band Hypnotherapy  Insomnia  Internet addiction  Irritable Bowel Syndrome  Low Self Confidence  Low Self-Esteem  Obsessions & Compulsions  Childbirth  Confidence  Fears and phobias  Grief  Habits e.g. nail biting  Health  Memory  Relaxation  Performance  Personal development  Regression  Relationships  Sexual problems  Sleep Disorders  Sports performance  Stress and anxiety  Weight loss

Kitchen and Bathroom displays that are continuing to make a splash!

I can hardly believe that it has been nine months since Wealden Contract’s new showroom in Charlwoods Place in East Grinstead opened. I caught up with owner Keith Baldwin recently to find out what has been happening since the new showroom launch and to see how things were going for them now.

“Our feet haven’t really touched the ground since we moved” says Keith “it really has made such a difference having such a large showroom that our customers can wander around.

Not only does it allow us to showcase some fabulous bathrooms and kitchens, it is also great for giving people imaginative ideas about what can be achieved in a given space.”

Had he noticed an increase in visitors since they moved?

told me last year about his key to success.

“Quite simply, we are a small business who are used to working with local people. We pay attention to detail and treat our customers as we would wish to be treated” Keith explains. “But probably the biggest difference is that we try to give people what We have been in business they want for the budget for 33 years now and pride they have.” ourselves on our repeat business with satisfied Keith and his team don’t customers, but this year just fit out new kitchens we have worked with and bathrooms though – many more new customers if you are looking for as a result of them coming replacement unit doors, to the showroom and kitchen or bathroom really being able to get an appliances or hardware idea of the service we can give them a call.

HOMES 5. Separating spaces Not all open-plan spaces need to be entirely open all of the time, so for truly flexible living it’s advisable to include some sort of flexible division. In a period property, panelled doors that can be folded back against the walls when not in use are perfect; in a more modern house a moveable screen, or perhaps ceilingmounted panels (on a track) that can be pulled to one side when desired, would be enormously useful.

Open Sesame Why have several small, dark rooms when you can simply knock down some walls and live in a gorgeous, airy, bright and huge space?

But there are eight key issues you should bear in mind when decorating your open-plan home, says Katherine Sorrell 1. Creating a focal point While traditional rooms often work around a fireplace or TV, larger, multi-purpose rooms can lack visual focus. By introducing colour, pattern and/or texture on one wall – perhaps above a sofa or behind a dining table – you’ll add character, interest and even drama. The easiest solution is to use a strong paint colour or to hang a large painting, photograph or print, while boldly patterned wallpaper also works well.

3. Planning your lighting Use lighting to delineate different areas within your open-plan space, and illuminate different parts to suit your needs, whether it’s a living area or working space, a kitchen or a dining area. Layer in different types of light in different areas, using a mixture of concealed lighting (in ceilings or under shelves, for example) and eye-catching, over-sized fixtures that suit the extra-large space.

2. Using colour Pale colours are generally considered best to emphasise the airiness of large open spaces. But should you go for one shade all over, or choose different colours for different areas? Using the same colour throughout gives an unbroken look and emphasises space, but if one end of the room is to function separately from the other – a living and dining space, a living and work space – you can zone these areas by varying their colour.

A tonal scheme, with colour going from light to darker from one end to the other, can be particularly effective.

4. Choosing a floor Choosing flooring for a multi-purpose space such as an open-plan cooking/ dining/living area can be tricky, as the kitchen area needs to be able to cope with splashes and spills, while you’ll want the sitting area to feel cosy and comfortable.

You have two choices: either run the same flooring throughout for a sleek, flowing look, or choose a variety of types of flooring which will differentiate between areas. If you go for the former option, consider stone or wood, both of which can be softened with rugs where necessary, or consider high quality vinyl, which is spill-proof and forgiving underfoot.

40 - HOMES

R H UNCOVERED

6. Linking spaces Open-plan kitchen/living areas are ideal for entertaining, but how do you successfully blend the spaces seamlessly? One solution is to continue the style of your kitchen units for storage used in nearby areas, choosing a design that looks as good for a TV stand, say, as for a cutlery drawer. Versatility is key and you should consider not just colour but also texture, and even handles – long, slender handles tend to look better in modern living spaces than dumpy round ones, for example.

7. Solutions for storage Knocking two rooms together gives you a gorgeous open area – but, because you’ve lost wall space for cupboards and shelves, much less room to hide your clutter. One solution is to use tall, open shelving that doubles as a room divider as well as somewhere to display your stuff, while if you have a flat-screen TV, mount it on a media wall with storage for DVDs concealed behind it. In fact, make the most of every tiny corner, building storage into sloping ceilings, around windows or in any alcove you can find.

8. Buying and arranging furniture Conventional furniture won’t necessarily have the right proportions to work well in open-plan living areas, so you may have to look for larger-thanaverage pieces, and bear in mind that they have tom look good from all angles, not just the front. Avoid the temptation to place all the furniture around the edges of the room (it will look like a nursing home); instead, create cosy sitting areas within the main space – with two sofas facing each other, with tables and lamps behind, perhaps, or else use modular furniture which creates sociable corners.

GARDENS

Growing Peppers Growing your own peppers is not much more involved than growing tomatoes, so why not give it a try? Pepper plants can be unbelievably pretty too, with fruits in a range of shapes and colour, generally on compact plants and preceded by small and very pretty white flowers. This is a plant with great ornamental as well as edible potential.

The seeds are readily obtainable from many catalogues or garden centres but make sure you take into account the level of heat that each type delivers.

Sow the seeds between now and early April. I use a multi-purpose or a seed compost, but for good germination you will need to provide a bit of extra warmth, ideally from a heated propagator positioned in a spot where it receives plenty of natural light.

Both chilli and sweet - or If you don’t have the time or bell - peppers can be grown facilities to raise your own from in a greenhouse border, in a seed, you can always buy a few sunny spot in the garden in plants in a garden centre or send warmer parts of the country, or on a sunny, sheltered spot on the off for them. patio. The heavier, earlier crop will come if you grow the plants Keep the plants a tiny bit drier than you would a tomato plant in a greenhouse or conservatory, but it is well worth growing them and feed regularly with a highpotash liquid feed (most readily outside too. available as a ‘tomato food’). This helps to keep the plants growing Sweet peppers, especially strongly and the potash will the red ones, are very high in encourage plenty of flowers vitamin A and both red and and so fruits to form. green peppers are also very high in vitamin C. If you are going for plants in pots, choose a planter that Chilli peppers also have a has good drainage and is 30cm good supply of vitamins C (12in) or more in diameter, and A and in addition, contain adding broken pots for extra both beta-carotene and drainage.

If you’re after the hottest possible heat from your chilli peppers, then you’ll find this comes from fruits that are totally ripe and from peppers that are grown in warmer conditions.

If you are growing sweet peppers in patio pots then you are likely to find that there are still some unripened fruits on the plants when temperatures start to fall at the end of summer and well into autumn.

To increase the chances of these ripening and increasing to full size, move the pots to a warmer spot or, if possible, to a porch, conservatory or greenhouse where they’ll get extra warmth and also plenty of natural light.

If you want chillies that look particularly good on the patio there are plenty to choose from.

‘Black Pearl’ is a hot chilli pepper with a distinct blackish tinge to the mature leaves and fruits that are black early on and mature darkest red. For classic chillis with bright red, finger shaped fruits try ‘Thai Dragon’.
