I?m just wondering if there are any lock youth clubs for a 10 year old? I?ve been looking and can?t seem to find one. I?m guessing there might not be much funding for this type of thing anymore. But as you can?t just let your children out to play alone in london surely there must be something? I know there?s lots of clubs you can join for different hobbies but what if you just want to hang out and make friends?

I have been wondering about this recently too. When I was a kid I would go to a cool (but slightly scary) youth club then from the age of about 12/13 there were regular roller discos in the local sports centre which were the highlight of my social life for years. Can't think of an equivalent in London, which is ridiculous really. My daughter goes to Guides but if anyone knows of a more social equivalent for 12/13-year-olds, I'd be interested to know of it. Something regular rather than just a one-off, ideally.

I have been looking for something like this for nearly 4 years, the only thing I have found is Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground, and Peckham Rye Adventure Playground, although I am not sure of the open hours for either.

I had an idea of trying to set something up, so if anyone is interested and has a venue let me know!!

Hi All,


I am still looking for fun activities for my 10 year old daughter any ideas?


I have just found a creative writing course and thinking of maybe a cooking class or maybe dance or something like taekwondo? Preferably something on a Saturday

Heey,


If you're still looking, I run cooking classes for both adults and kids in East Dulwich on weekends. Classes are ran just by Dulwich library, Barry Road. Let me know of you want more info.


Best,


Yasin

      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.
