This is a collaborative post. With summer well on its way, it’s important for parents to consider some ways in which they can encourage their youngsters to put down their smartphones and games consoles and get outside. The great outdoors provides a range of learning opportunities for children that cannot be explored in traditional classroom environments, so why not make the most of this when the weather is a little nicer? In fact, many schools aim to incorporate this holistic approach to learning within their curriculum, particularly for younger students who are developing their fine motor skills. I have teamed up with an international school in Somerset to explore the benefits of outdoor learning in further detail below. Jump to:Outdoor Learning is Fun Taking long wal...

This is a collaborative post. Children with a natural sense of curiosity are always learning, because they ask lots of questions and investigate to find answers. This is great, and something that parents should try and encourage. There are many ways to spark your child’s inquisitive nature, as explored below by a prep school in Hertfordshire. Jump to:Ensure Your Child Has New Experiences Of course, children need a schedule, but it’s important that things don’t become stale. Mix up your routine from time to time to ensure your child is constantly experiencing new things. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to travel to the other side of the globe; it could be something as simple as trying a new recipe for dinner or getting them to help you with a household chore they...

This is a collaborative post. Maths is a vital element of the UK National Curriculum and a compulsory subject for students until the end of GCSE level. For younger children, maths lessons help them become more familiar with numbers, patterns and shapes, and gradually they will become more competent at complex problem-solving. It’s important for parents to try and encourage their child to approach maths with a positive attitude and help them where possible. Here’s some advice from a prep school in Surrey. Jump to:Practise Money Management Maths is quite an intimidating subject for those who struggle with it, so try and incorporate it into everyday life where possible, to show your child that it’s not as scary as it may seem. Next time you go shopping with your child, ask t...

This is a collaborative post. Qualifications in STEM subjects can lead to a range of amazing career opportunities for young people. But what actually is STEM and how can parents help their children develop STEM-related skills? Simply put, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths and refers to any subjects which fall under this umbrella. Of course, these subjects are incorporated into the curriculum in most schools so that children are able to develop key skills from a young age. It’s important for children to understand how STEM subjects are important in the real world, as provide people with the knowledge and abilities to find cures for diseases, investigate crime scenes and even explore space. I have teamed up with a junior school in Hertfordshire to explore w...

This is a collaborative post. Employers have a duty to reduce the risk that their employees could be injured to as low a level as is ‘reasonably practicable’. In non-legal language, this means to keep their workers safe as best they can. While many abide by this, tens of thousands of employees still suffer injuries each year because of avoidable lapses in health and safety failings. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there were 1.6 million ongoing work-related ill health cases in 2019/20, with more than 65,000 non-fatal injuries reported in that year alone. Tragically, 111 of these proved to be fatal. But what are the most common workplace injuries, and what can someone do if they have been affected by one? Jump to:Common workplace injuries Accid...

Hey everyone Today I am going to talk about my journey of “blessed with the healthy normal body – sickly thin – gradually gaining normal weight”. Let me give a brief intro about my body type and height. I stand at 5’7” and during my 12th std, I used to weigh around 51 kgs. Chubby cheeks, 28 waistline, normal eating habits, zero exercises. Then started college, and with it came along erratic lecture timings, skipping breakfast became a routine and I started eating unhealthy junk food and started losing weight. I remember eating just one masala dosa till 4 o clock. My friends started saying how I am looking leaner and my cheekbones are so well defined now. My waist size reduced to 26, I was looking leaner and umm better. 😛 but then that din stop at that I start...
