Am thinking about taking my 3 yo son to the cinema as a treat. He's been to see a toddler show at picturehouse once before but hasn't been to see a full length film. I realise these are a possibly a bit sophisticated plot-wise for a 3 yo but honestly don't really care if we have to leave early. Thought it might be something interesting and different to have a go at...he doesn't watch films or TV at home (though has watched back to back episodes of Bob the builder whilst travelling...) so his concentration might not be up to it in that format but hey - who cares - I'll whisk him out of there if he gets restless.


Just wondered if anyone had taken theirs to see Minions or Insight out - thought Minions might be better because of teh slapstick element but I showed him the trailors of both and he seemed much more wary of the Minions and more interested in Inside Out...what do people think?

My 3.5 year old went to see Inside Out, and seemed to really enjoy it - mind you, she's a 3rd child and well versed in the discipline of sitting and watching movies ;)


My parents took her, with her siblings, and said apart from one section which she found a bit scary, she was fine.

Oh this sounds exciting. I love taking my my 3 1/2 year old to the cinema (great for rainy weekends). He does not sit still, ever but actually provided he likes the film he does sit still in a cinema...


Last weekend we went to see the new thomas the tank engine at Surrey Quays cinema which he loved. I had completely forgotten about the ED one. Will def try it.

My just 4yo son has seen both Minions and Inside Out (see my other post on the surviving house renovations with kids thread!) and he did huge belly laughs throughout the Minions film and only one for Inside Out. I think the latter's subject matter was a bit over his head, but the slapstick humour of Minions was spot on.

Well. The verdict was:


He didn't want to see minions - didn't like the 'yellow men'.

But we did go to see Inside Out and he watched the whole thing. Not sure he got any of it but enjoyed some of the sequences and it certainly held his attention.


A success! Hurray.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
