This spring there are some fantastic new books out and some great titles into paperback ready for your summer reading......

Adult Choices

Peaches for Monsieur Le Cure – Joanne Harris

The third in the Chocolat series, published in paperback end of March.

The Last Dance –Victoria Hislop

These bittersweet tales of love and loyalty, of separation and reconciliation, captured in Victoria Hislop’s unique voice, will stay

with you long after you reach the end. Published paperback £7.99 end May.

Bringing Up the Bodies – Hilary Mantel

Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2012 and the 2012 Costa Book of the Year. Finally in paperback £9.99 published

early May. An astounding literary accomplishment, the story of this most terrifying moment of history, by one of our greatest living novelists.

Kingmakers Daughter – Phillipa Gregory

Set against the backdrop of the court of Edward IV and his beautiful queen, Elizabeth Woodville, the gripping and ultimately tragic story of Anne Neville and her sister Isabel, the daughters of the Earl of Warwick, the most powerful magnate in England through the Cousins’ Wars. In the absence of a son and heir, he ruthlessly uses the two girls as pawns. PB £7.99 middle March.

Ancient Light – John Banville

Ancient Light is a story of obsessive young love and the power of grief. Startlingly brilliant. Terrific, full of sadness

and yearning. PB £8.99 early April.

The Yips – Baker

Nicola Barker’s Man Booker-longlisted novel ‘The Yips’ at once a historical novel of the pre-Twitter moment, the filthiest state-of-the-nation novel since Martin Amis’s ‘Money’ and the most flamboyant piece of comic fiction ever to be set in Luton. PB £8.99 end March.

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky – Simon Mawer The new book from author of Bookshop bestseller The Fall. When Marian Sutro is recruited from her desk job by SOE to go undercover in wartime France, it seems her hybrid status - and fluent French - will be of service to a greater, more dangerous cause. Parachuting into south-west France, her official mission to act as a Resistance courier. As she struggles through the strange, lethal landscape of the Occupation towards this reunion, what completes her training is the understanding that war changes everything, and neither love nor fatherland may be trusted. A gripping adventure story and a moving meditation on patriotism, betrayal and the limits of love. PB £7.99, end April.

If This is Home – Stuart Evers Also new into paperback, £7.99, by a bookshop favourite. Since the age of

eighteen, Mark has been running away, and hard. Bethany Wilder, beautiful goth, carnival queen, partner in dreams, tragic ghost, never made it with him to America. This is an inventive and emotional novel about the power of dreams to destroy, of memory to distort, and of courage, ultimately, to heal.

May We Be Forgiven – A N Holmes A darkly comic look at 21st century domestic life. At the novel’s heart are the spaces in between, where the modern family comes together to re-form itself. May We Be Forgiven explores contemporary orphans losing and finding themselves anew; and it speaks above all to the power of personal transformation - simultaneously terrifying and inspiring. PB £8.99 early April.

Fantastic Children’s Choices The Saga of Erik the Viking – Terry Jones The fantastically brilliant and amazingly adventurous saga of Erik the Viking returns in this special 30th anniversary

edition. As Erk and the crew of The Golden Dragon set off in search of adventure, little do they know that their courage, skill, strength and stamina will all be tested to the extremes. HB £10.99 early March.

Varmints – Helen Ward Once, the only sounds to be heard were the buzzing of bees in the grass, the murmuring of moles in the earth, and the song of birds in the

sky. These warmed the hearts of those who cared to listen - until the others came to fill the sky with a cacophony of noise. Varmints tells of a pastoral world in need of protection and of the souls who love it enough to ensure its regeneration. PB £8.99 early March

The Dark – Lemony Snickett Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo but mostly it spends its time in the basement. It doesn’t visit Laszlo in his room. Until one night it does. With emotional insight and poetic economy, a universal and empowering story about conquering fear. Join a brave boy on his journey to meet the dark, and see why it will never bother him again. HB £11.99 early April.

The Sacrifice – Charlie Higson The Sacrifice is the third gruesome and horrifying book in Charlie Higson’s brilliant zombie series. The sickness destroyed everyone over the age

of fourteen. All across London diseased adults are waiting, hungry predators with rotten flesh and ravaged minds. New into paperback £6.99 early April.

Ruby Redfort: Take Your Last Breath – Lauren Child Everyone’s favourite kid detective is back for a second mind-blowing installment, packed

with all the off-the-wall humour, action and friendship of the first book. This time, though, it’s an adventure on the wide open ocean, and Ruby is all at sea... PB £6.99 end April

Disgrace of Kitty Grey – Mary Hooper Kitty is living a happy, carefree life as a dairymaid in the countryside. And there is Will, the river man who she thinks is very fond of her, and indeed she is of him. Surely he will ask her to marry him soon? Then one day disaster strikes: Will disappears.

When Kitty is asked to go to London to pick up a copy of Pride and Prejudice, the latest novel by the very fashionable Jane Austen, Kitty leaps at the chance to track down Will. But Kitty has no idea how vast London is, and how careful she must be. It is barely a moment before eagle-eyed pickpockets have spotted the country-born-and-bred Kitty and relieved her of her money and belongings. Dauntingly fast, she has lost her only means of returning home and must face the terrifying prospect of stealing in order to survive - and of being named a thief... PB £6.99 early May.

The Ocean Book - Noel Grammont A dazzling tale about a very curious giraffe who is fascinated by the sea and wants to know who lives and what happens in all

that shimmering water. With plenty to do and spot throughout, this is a great summer story book for young children. PB £5.99, pub early April.

Dinosaur Farm – Frann Preston Grannon Jack and his pet dino-dog get up early each morning to

tend to the duties on the dinosaur farm. First the pterodactyl eggs need collecting. Then the triceratops need to be let out to graze. Of course the diplodocus need a good scrub after their mud bath - they do get very messy! Exhausted after his daily chores, Jack collapses into bed. But wait! Did he close the gate to the T-Rex pen?! And if you’ve fallen in love with Dino Dog? So have we. Join him on his own adventures coming soon! PB £5.99, pub end of March.

And The Train Goes... – William Bee All aboard the train for this cumulative picture book,

full of delicious read-aloud sounds! Join the eclectic and eccentric passengers on the train: ladies off to the races, chattering children on a school trip, business men going to the city, chickens off to market...and all the while the train goes Clickerty Click Clickerty Clack...Chuff Chuff Chufferty Chuff...Woo Woooooo! PB £5.99, early May. All titles available at the Beckenham Bookshop. 42 High Street, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 1AY. Tel: 020 8650 9744 Email: [email protected]

FIRST AID FOR BABIES & CHILDRENWe have been teaching �rst aid to parents and parents-to-be since 2001

www.theparentcompany.co.uk Visit us now to read what our customers say about us or to download a brochure

• Classes taught in your home in small groups • Gain confidence with our exceptional team of NHS paediatric nurses

• Easy to follow laminated first aid wall chart to take away with you

Packing for a holiday is never easy. We always seem to take more than we need. However research out shows that as travellers we are failing to prepare when it comes to packing a first aid kit. This article from Diana Yardley, a paediatric nurse and first aid trainer with The Parent Company will tell you what you really need to bring with you.It’s very important that we acknowledge the potential for us or our children to become ill/ injured whilst on holiday. A survey by Esure travel insurance (2008) suggests that approximately 50% of us will become ill or sustain an injury however minor!! This is because we are out and about more than normal and we are in unknown territory with less control over your environment. If you are lucky you will also be more relaxed than usual. Your basic kit should enable you to deal with minor injuries and cuts. Quantity of items will depend on the number of you travelling and how long you are away.Include:• Antiseptics wipes to clean

wounds, cuts and scrapes• Plasters of various sizes to protect

and promote healing of small wounds

• Non adhesive dressings to protect and promote healing of larger wounds

• Triangular bandage which can be used as a sling

• Gauze squares for cleaning wounds or extra padding

• Surgical tape to adhere dressings• Tweezers for removing splinters or

glass• ScissorsWith regard to medications: • Ensure you have Paracetamol or

Ibuprofen to deal with fever and pain.

• It’s also worth bearing in mind the potential for diarrhoea whilst abroad so pack some rehydration solutions for younger children and anti-diarrhoea tablets for older children and adults.

• Antihistamines, for example Piriton, are also useful for allergic reactions.

• If anyone travelling is taking prescription medications ensure you have enough for the whole time away plus some spare.

• Tablets are the best way to transport medications but with young children liquids will be required.

The above is just a guide and each family will have to take into consideration their destination, the individuals travelling and what you’re likely to be doing.Diana Yardley is a paediatric nurse who teaches private first aid classes with The Parent Company. She can be contacted at [email protected] Parent Company has taught first aid to thousands of parents. Their trainers are all paediatric nurses working in Accident and Emergency, paediatric wards or in the community. They provide private classes in your own home for groups of 6 people or more. Visit www.theparentcompany.co.uk for more information.

The Olympic legacy lives on in

Following on from the success of Rugby Munchkins, Munchkin Sports are introducing a similar concept in Athletic Munchkins. With the hugely successful Olympics behind us, we feel it is imperative to maintain the legacy and make sure young children are given the opportunity to try out and enjoy the various activities that track and field can offer.

It doesn’t seem right to wait for children to be old enough to join an athletics club when they are more than capable of participating in sport from the age of 2yrs old. Since ancient times, athletics is traditionally regarded as the oldest sport, but most children in this country don’t get the opportunity to participate. Munchkin Sports are attempting to change this as most children like to run as fast as they can, jump as high as they can, and more often then not, throw things as high as they can.

Athletic Munchkins offer 2-7yr olds the opportunity to learn all the various disciplines whilst having lots of fun in a safe environment. The classes are designed to not only teach and develop sporting skills but to gain self confidence and friendships which for children is very important for self development.

‘Dare to do your Best’

Imagine the changes in the last 130 years….Increased industrialisation

(and then decline) in the UK, the growth of a technological society, population growth and improved standards of living and, for girls, the introduction of schools at which they can excel. In 1883, on Elmfield Road in Bromley, Bromley High School opened its doors. As one of the second wave of schools opened by the Girls Public Day School Company, which had formed in 1872, it was a pioneer. At the time there were about 15,000 residents in Bromley, a town covering 4700 acres, there was a new public baths and the Baptist church was a recent edition. Miss Heppel was the founding headmistress and the educational landscape then was very different to that which we inhabit today. Quite apart from the long dresses, the horse drawn carriages, the lack of modern technology and the quaint advertising, the world that girls inhabited, and the world that, as women, they were destined for, was determined, almost exclusively, by their class and their gender!At Bromley High School the girls were lucky; they belonged then, as they do now, to a forward thinking, innovative and ambitious group of schools, the GDST (we are now 26 schools, educating 20,000 pupils nationwide) who believed that girls and young women deserve to have an equal

education and equal chances in life to their brothers. We continue to believe this and it for this reason that our girls outperform girls educated in maintained schools at every age and stage. It is for this reason that our girls are more likely to study Maths and Sciences than their counterparts in co-educational and maintained schools and it is for this reason that our girls leave us to become productive and contributing members of society, often to high profile and very successful roles.In 2013 we celebrate 130 years of Bromley High School. In that time the face of education has changed, but our aims have not. We continue to put girls at the heart of all that we do and we are very proud of all that they achieve.Please email [email protected] or visit our website on www.bromleyhigh.gdst.net to find out more about January 2013 assessments and taster days and to organise a tour of the School. We look forward to meeting you and your daughter.

Sydenham High School has not one but two reasons to celebrate this term.

Firstly, latest government performance tables confirm Sydenham High’s strong academic standing, becoming the top performing girls’ school in Lewisham and continuing a five-year trend of high scores in GCSE and A level outcomes.

The school’s average 2012 GCSE point score was 417 with an average of 10 GCSEs per pupil. The level of pupils achieving A*-C grades also rose to 96 per cent from 94 per cent in 2011. In addition, the percentage of GCSE pupils meeting the government’s new English Baccalaureate performance standard - in the core subjects of English, Maths, Science, a Modern Foreign Language and a Humanity subject (History or Geography) – was 74 per cent, rising to 98 per cent when taking into account those who took Religious Studies as their Humanity subject. Meanwhile the average point score per pupil at A level was 855 with 93 per cent achieving three or more A levels.

“Sydenham High has always delivered academic excellence but it is great to have achieved some of our best results to date in our 125th Anniversary year”, said Headteacher, Kathryn Pullen. “Academic success is vital in today’s competitive university and work environment and we work hard to ensure that all our girls can achieve the qualifications they need and deserve. However,

we also believe that education is about much more than just exams so we work equally hard to ensure that every girl can discover her spark and is equipped with the confidence and resilience to thrive in a challenging world and reach her fullest potential.”

Secondly, Guinness World Records have just confirmed that Sydenham High has entered the record books by taking part in the world’s biggest practical science lesson in multiple venues. The attempt took place back in November and involved 68 girls from year 8 conducting two science experiments to measure the value of acceleration due to gravity. They joined 2,215 girls at 26 schools and academies across the country - all members of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST).

“It’s inspiring to be part of making science history but more importantly to be bucking a negative educational trend”, said Kathryn Pullen. “Studies have shown that women who go to girls’ schools are more likely to study stereotypically male subjects like physics and chemistry, both at school and at university. We know this to be true from our own experience, with around a quarter of our girls taking science subjects in the sixth form, compared to the much lower national average – for example 1.6% for physics.”
