A new engineering club called the Workshop of Innovation is starting up next Summer term designed for 7-9 and 10-13.


The idea is to help children understand how science is used in the real world by looking at the principles of science through building.


We will be learning robotics by building and then programming robots using Lego robotics software - WeDo Lego for the 7-9 group and the hugely popular EV3 Mindstorms for 10-13.


Using recyclable materials, the young engineers will have the opportunity to build structures and mechanisms and carry out experiments with racing cars, roller coasters and rockets. They will also explore their creative side by making short films using Stop- Motion animation.


The children will learn how to work as a team, explore their creativity and develop their problem solving skills.


To celebrate the clubs's launch, a two half-day workshop will take place on the 29th and 30th March and will hopefully provide a taster of what to expect in the club.


If your child has an interest in crafts and science or simply would like to explore something new this Easter, bring them along to this very exciting drop-in session!

Morning Pablogrande, the Easter workshops are actually taster days for the weekly summer term club that will be beginning after the Easter break - will be posting more info on that shortly. The club's website and emailing list are also in the works and should be ready to launch in a few days so in the mean time, I'm happy to respond to any queries via this thread or alternatively on the number used to make club bookings provided on the flier. I hope that helps...

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.

      Trades People

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.

      Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.
