Hi there,


My daughter is starting in reception at Goodrich in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if anyone else wanted to meet for a picnic or something before they start? I've heard of another school previously organising something similar and that it's been really helpful to let the kids meet others in an informal setting before starting reception.


Let me know if you fancy it- time is rather short before they start but hopefully it will be possible to squeeze something in!

both good, picnic area marginally better for purposes of containment (see my thread re high energy ch ildren ;) but I can find ways to bribe the smaller one if need be.


btw has anyone heard re school dinners? I haven't had any notification from Southwark so wondering what'll happen on my son's first day, in fact haven't actually heard if he's supposed to stay for lunch or not (doing 10-1 so cd go either way).

I'd be a fan of the picnic area in pr park too for the same reason (will have 2 year old and 3 month old with me too!). Haven't heard anything about school dinners- I just assumed they'd be getting them... Will Defo ask the person who comes for the home visit, so I can sort packed lunches for the first day if needs be!

Just checked the letter and the kids do stay for lunch, they need to be collected at 1.10pm from their classroom. No mention of hot dinners or packed lunch so will assume that will be discussed at the home visit.


So Peckham Rye picnic area on Friday 6th, does 10.30pm sound good?

All Southwark primary school children up to Year 4 (or possibly more now) qualify for free school meals. If you want your child to have packed lunches then that's absolutely fine, but certainly I've found in my children's classes that pretty much everyone has school meals now.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
