School Round Up

Abbot House:Tokens to Toys

Abbot House Nursery in Seasalter, Whitstable, won the recent competition

for £10,000 worth of new playground equipment from Wicksteed. The nursery beat over 200 entrants from across the South East area by collecting tokens printed in the Whitstable and Canterbury Times.

The equipment was delivered on Monday 1st September from Wicksteed and work has started on installing the equipment in the nursery garden. The equipment consists of a large climbing frame, a play barn, tepee, log walk and clatter bridge, as well as new number signs, a wobbly mirror panel, a shop, and art activity panel.

Karen Billington, Manager at Abbot House Nursery said, “The parents and children of the nursery were so excited when they returned last week to see that their new outdoor area was already being improved. We are extremely grateful to local councillors Mike Harrison

and Mark Dance, as well as the Whitstable Lions who have generously provided funds to help with the installation costs.”

In addition to this a section of the garden will be dedicated to Reece Puddington, who attended Abbot House Nursery, and whose family have also kindly donated funds. The Play Barn is going to be named ‘Reece’s Retreat’, will form part of the finished garden, and will be enjoyed by all future nursery children.

Abbot House Nursery is family friendly pre-school nursery owned and supported by St Alphege Church, in Faversham Road, Seasalter, Whitstable. We cater for 23 children each day aged between 2 and 5 years of age and have a high ratio of highly qualified and experienced staff.

School Round Up

St. Anselm’sPastoral Care Second to None at St Anselms

My son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was twelve. He was

in Year 7 at St Anselm’s in Canterbury and it was a week before the Easter holidays. After a week in hospital in Ashford he had a week at home where we tried to come to terms with at least four daily injections, countless fingerprick blood tests, hypos, hypers, and a new ‘normal’. Four years on he’s now in the Sixth Form and doing well. Life with T1 has become our normal, and St Anselm’s helped with that. From the very beginning simple procedures and care plans were put in place which left my son and me feeling secure about his time in school.

I have nothing but praise for the way they’ve supported him. He’s now a very independent young man and that’s in no small part thanks to the pastoral care provided by St Anselm’s.

School Round Up

Kent CollegeMedical careers evening a great success!

Former pupils, former parents, current parents, and friends of the school

returned to Kent College to encourage, inspire and advise the 40 young pupils who want to pursue a medical career.

At the evening were representatives from veterinary practice, medicine, physiotherapy, speech therapy, dentistry, and nursing.

Ruth Leonard, RN, Learning and Development Facilitator for Operating Theatres was welcomed at Kent College to represent nursing and allied health professions such as Operating Department Practitioners.

Pupils from year 8 right up to 6th form came to find out more about the healthcare career options from the professionals in the room.

Ruth trained at the Royal London Hospital, specialising in Perioperative Care around

20 years ago. In her current role she is keen to encourage young people to explore the many career options in healthcare. An often dramatic and challenging career but nothing like Holby City, the pupils were assured. Some time was spent dispelling common myths about nursing and discussing the different routes that the profession can take, as well as details about the training and personality type that is well suited to the role.

All in all an extremely successful evening.

Canterbury FestivalComedy Club for Kids Saturday 25 th October 2pm | Dr. Oliver Double

Comedy shows for kids have come on in leaps and bounds in the last ten

years. Having kids in the audience does great things to the performer-audience dynamic, because kids are enthusiastic, imaginative and lacking in cynicism.

This is a great line-up, too. Stuart Goldsmith is a lovely, lively, friendly comedian, whose comedy will appeal to kids – not least because there’s something of the overgrown kid about his stage persona. Incidentally, he’s also the man behind the popular Comedian’s Comedian podcast, which lots of professional comics swear by.

As for the Three Half Pints, they’re a joy. It’s like somebody put the Laurel & Hardy, Buster Keaton and the Three Stooges into a blender and then poured it all into the brains of three blokes in their early twenties. They’re slick, endearing, and full of energy. Their slapstick stunts are really skilful.

I’ve seen them play an adult comedy club and get the whole audience audibly wincing at a ‘fall’ that was actually completely practised and controlled. And Dick’s stupidity makes him totally endearing. You’ll end up wanting to take him home with you to keep him as a pet.

Four Men in a BoatFrom Canterbury to the CaribbeanBy Heidi Conroy

Imagine rowing a large boat for 90 days across the

Atlantic Ocean, and rowing it constantly in shifts with three others, in all weathers, day and night, for a race in aid of charity. I’d rather throw a bucket of cold water over myself than spend weeks, including Christmas, rowing across one of the most inhospitable places known to man. Charlie Hayward is not so lily-livered; he’s taking part in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the World’s Toughest Rowing Race in 2015. An ex-Canterbury Hockey Club

player, past pupil of both Vernon Holme and Kent College, Charlie is definitely made of sterner stuff. He, fellow Kent College old boy, Matt Townsend, together with Dave Middleton and Joe Mile are planning to set out from the Canary Islands ten days before Christmas next year and row all the way to Antigua in the Caribbean, nearly 3,000 miles away.

I asked Charlie why anyone would put themselves through this, because while I can see the attraction of visiting the Canaries and Antigua, I can come up with easier ways of travelling between

the two. “It’s the freedom and enormity of the sea, the challenge of tackling Mother Nature, and above all the adventure. Less people have rowed across the Atlantic than have conquered Everest, or been into space”, Charlie told me. Established by Sir Chay Blyth in 1997, the Atlantic Rowing race has claimed three lives so far, and famously left Ben Fogle and James Cracknell physically wrecked in 2005.

25 year old Charlie grew up in Wickambreaux, studied Geography at Birmingham Uni and took part in his first rowing challenge kayaking from there to London over two days with Matt Townsend in aid of Help for Heroes.

That’s where the idea of rowing across the Atlantic first came from. I’m no geographer, but even I know that canals and waterways of England are a far cry from an ocean. Charlie explained that their Atlantic crossing will be done in an ocean rowing boat - no sails or motors. Competing in the four man class, their plan is to always have two rowing while two rest. All their food will be carried with them, along with a water generator (they can take large bottles of water as ballast but that will result in a time penalty as they’ll be able to get rid

of it and go faster). They’ll carry a satellite radio, gps, and phone to keep in touch. The race has one support yacht which Charlie hopes they won’t have need for.

Aside from the sheer adventure of this endeavour, why are Charlie and his team doing this? It’s through Dave Middleton that the team’s charity connection comes - his uncle, Gary Maryrick sadly passed away after suffering for some time with Multiple Sclerosis. Originally a member of the Highland Mountain Rescue, this cruel disease took

away the outside world from him. This is one small way that Charlie and the team can support the charity working to help people with MS to live their lives to the full. Charlie, Matt, Joe, and Dave are all fit healthy young men who can do this challenge; they’re doing it on behalf of all those people suffering with Multiple Sclerosis who can’t.

Read more on their website, www.atlanticlions.com, follow them on Twitter, like them on Facebook, and we hope to talk again to Charlie after the race.

Competition

Cookery Competition‘Kent is Delicious’ 2015 is now launched

The Diocese of Canterbury is now inviting entries for its popular Kent

is Delicious school cookery competition.

The aim of the competition is to raise children’s awareness of the quality and importance of local, seasonal produce by asking them to create a recipe using as many locally sourced, grown and produced ingredients as possible.

This year the theme is ‘packed lunch’. Schools are being encouraged to get creative and say ‘goodbye’ to the boring and uninspired and ‘hello!’ to lunch boxes bursting full of scrumptious local lunchtime dishes.

Open to all primary schools in Kent, each school has now received information about the competition via email and through the post.

Four schools will be chosen to go through to the final which will be held at the Kent County Show next July, and where they will make their dish for a panel of judges comprised of local producers, growers and farmers. The closing date is Friday 22nd May 2015.

Kent is Delicious is organised by the Diocese of Canterbury’s Communities and Partnerships Framework (www.canterburydiocese.org/communityprojects) and held in partnership with Kent Agricultural Society (KCAS) and Produced in Kent.

The purpose of the Framework is to empower parishes to serve their communities better by working in partnerships with others. The Framework has particular responsibility for rural and heritage issues, special interest groups, forging links with local authorities, other faith groups and with charities.

How To... Get Rid of Unwanted Visitors

By Heidi Conroy

The children are all settled back at school, mornings have gone back to the frantic

rush of lunch boxes, notes, book bags, and oversleeping teens. The new uniforms look a bit worn in (or slept in, in some cases - regardless of stain removers and starch), but the one true horror of Back To School is the dreaded word that gets whispered in the school staff rooms across the country, the one word that makes everyone start to feel itchy, the one word that has us all looking sideways at a passing child’s head - NITS.


How To...

Okay, so what should you look for?

Well, the adult lice are tiny insects about the size of a sesame seed, and be careful because although they don’t jump or fly they will climb onto someone’s head if flicked during combing. Generally the way they spread is by head to head contact - just the sort of thing that happens during group work at school, or playing games, or taking selfies - in fact all the things that children and teenagers do on a daily basis.

Great. So that’s the adults, but what about the eggs - the nits? They’re cemented to a hair and look like a tiny grain of rice, and sometimes they’re stubborn and almost armour plated - this is a battle! The problem is that the enemy here, the louse, can lay five to ten eggs EVERY DAY.

The eggs take seven to eleven days to hatch, and then the louse takes nine to twelve days to mature. Once mature they find themselves a mate, and then start laying those eggs every day. And guess what - despite the blurb on the boxes of head

lice treatment - it doesn’t get rid of all the eggs.

So, secondly, what are your options to get rid of these unwanted visitors?

You can take the non-pesti-cide route and keep combing with a special nit comb every couple of days when the hair is wet. Don’t forget dry comb-ing can end up spreading the lice. Some people recommend using normal hair conditioner, some prefer to use tea-tree oil, or one of the various over-the-counter remedies available from the pharmacy.

“Experts seem to have differing opinions on which one is best - and by experts I mean parents as well as scientists.”

The one thing they’re all agreed on is the combing, just make sure you do it every couple of days and dunk the comb into hot water between each sweep - you’ll also be able to see if you’ve caught any unwanted visitors.

Finally, how do you stop them returning?

Again there are various options; you can simply have very short hair, boys tend to suffer less with head lice simply because they often have short hair, so that’s one way to go. For those with longer hair the best way forward is to keep it tied up so there’s less opportunity for passing lice to hitch a ride.

You may want to keep applying tea-tree lotion regularly, but certainly you’ll need to keep combing regardless what you put onto the hair, or not. Sometimes they ‘re stubborn and almost armour plated - this is a battle!

If you haven’t yet bought one, get a nit comb; add it to your shopping list along with the grass stain remover and that family sized bar of chocolate that you keep hidden for ‘emergencies’….emergencies like an outbreak of nits. That’s the last and best remedy - but for parents only - one bar of family sized chocolate eaten in peace without children present, it cures most ills.

Cookery CompetitionKent Young Chef Award 2014

Produced in Kent are delighted to announce that the 2014 Kent Young

Chef Competition is open and has been circulated to secondary schools following the summer break. The competition now in its sixth year, encourages young people to create an original and innovative main dish. The recipe must feature seasonal locally reared or grown produce from Kent’s wonderful larder. The competition features two awards; Junior title, years 7 and 8 and Senior, years 9 to 11.

The Live Cook Off on Friday 14th November will take place at East Kent College, Broadstairs, where four finalists from each of the two age groups will be invited to cook their dishes. Each finalist can be accompanied by two guests and must bring all their ingredients unprepared for the final.

The competition, one of the longest running initiatives to engage young people with cookery and local produce, has historically seen incredibly high standards of cooking despite being in competition conditions.

The Award is sponsored by Kent Frozen Foods and new for 2014, The Kent Potato Company, ‘KPC’ (now part of Greenvale who are market leaders in the fresh produce sector) that supply retailers with high quality produce. Prize sponsorship includes a week’s work experience at Rowhill Grange

Hotel, a chef jacket and other prizes from CCS (Continental Chef Supplies) and trophies sponsored by Aford Awards. All finalists will also receive a framed certificate and a day work experience in one of Richard Phillips’ restaurants.

This year’s Kent Young Chef Award is open to all Kent School children in years 7 – 11. Full details on how to enter are available on the Produced in Kent website www.producedinkent.co.uk. Closing date for entries is 24th October 2014.


Bundle of BooksBy Heidi Conroy

Open for nearly two years now, Bundle of Books is Herne Bay’s independent

bookshop specialising in children’s books. If you’ve not shopped in Herne Bay recently, it’s worth a look and well on its way to matching Whitstable for chi-chi shops. Tucked away in Bank Street, just off the busy pedestrian area of Mortimer Street, and run by the lovely Ellie and Andrea, Bundle of Books is more than just a book shop. This is a community space running book clubs for children aged from seven right up to 14, toddler clubs, and even a book club for adults has recently been relaunched.

During the school holidays there are story times, art and craft sessions, as well as young writers’ workshops with leading local writers.

All great stuff, and when I visited of course I had to leave with a book that Ellie had skilfully suggested might draw my video-gaming sons back to reading. That’s the difference with

an independent shop - they’re run by people who are passionate about what they do and go the extra mile to help their customers.

Bundle of Books relies on their customer loyalty - their last book club for adults became a group of friends who did more than just discuss the latest bestseller. Ellie and Andrea hope to watch their toddler book groups go through their school years as regular customers. There’s more out there than Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, or even The Hungry Caterpillar, and Bundle of Books is the way to find out.

Support your local independent shops!

Type One DiabetesI don’t want to worry you

By Jacqui Double

It’s astonishing how many scary things you hear about

when you have children: the news is filled with car crashes, predatory celebrities and nasty bugs that are flying in through an airport near you. We feel worried about how much or how little time we share with our children, about them eating their five-a-day and drinking enough fluid to power their brain and all the time it feels like there is just another article or playground conversation waiting to add yet another scary thing to the list of things to be concerned about.

I am not here to worry you. I don’t think worry helps us in this life. Worry saps energy and takes our attention. Worry doesn’t actively make you do anything. I want to offer you some information that is very simple, very clear and not to worry about. It’s just something to know. And if by knowing it you act quickly if you see it happening, it will quite certainly save your child’s life. I want you to think about the 4 Ts: Toilet, Thirsty, Tired, Thinner.

If any of your children, young or old, who have previously been dry begin to wet the

bed, or go more often to the loo you need to take them to the doctor and ask them to check for Type 1 Diabetes. If they are more tired than usual, losing weight, are more thirsty, and rushing to the loo, take action and see your GP. You will save their life if they have Type 1 Diabetes. I didn’t know this when my 1-year-old, Tom started to overflow his nappies. I just thought we had bought a bad brand and it was leaking. He began to drink more often, begging for extra drinks of milk and water. I thought he was having a growth spurt as he suddenly seemed

Health

thinner and I wondered if he would be taller when I next got him measured.

And I worried. I worried and I didn’t do anything. A week later Tom was very unwell with what I and a GP thought was a stomach bug, still wanting to eat and drink but being so tired he hardly played and he kept being sick. A day later, a GP did a blood glucose test, he was rushed to intensive care in an ambulance and was in a coma from undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes.

Tom’s pancreas, an organ we all have, had been attacked by his immune system and this had stopped it making insulin. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas that releases the stored energy from our food, which is carried in cells in the blood as glucose.

Insulin opens the cells carrying glucose in the blood and takes the energy to the bits of the body that need it, like your brain and your muscles. Without Insulin this glucose gets stuck in the blood cells and cannot be released. Your body thinks it’s starved of energy and you

even feel hungry, but actually every time you eat the glucose in your blood will increase but not get to your cells.

This is terribly dangerous because without energy our bodies will begin to consume themselves rather than starve. You get thinner and more tired and quite quickly you get to Diabetic Ketoacidosis: a state where you are more acidic inside than you should be and your organs will begin to shut down until you go in to a coma and die.

“Type 1 Diabetes is 5 times more likely than Meningitis”

Tom didn’t die. He was lucky and he recovered. I know how terrible it feels to have your child nearly die of Type 1 Diabetes because you worry but don’t know what to do. I also know what it is like to have your child diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when you know what to do… because we have been through it twice.When Joe began to wet the bed after many years of being dry an alarm bell rang. When he also got thirsty I got the blood glucose

testing kit we already had at home for Tom and I tested him. He was measuring very high for blood glucose and I knew he had Type 1. He was diagnosed quickly and never felt that unwell. He wanted a red injection pen to take his Insulin and we went away for the weekend as we had already planned. When I worried and didn’t know what to do, my baby went in to a coma. When I knew what signs to be alarmed by, I went to my GP and my sons went camping.

The Meningitis Campaign where you are warned to look out for a headache and a rash, and you press a glass on the rash and if it stays you call 999 was so successful and is still remembered now. Type 1 Diabetes is 5 times more likely than Meningitis; we need to know the 4 Ts, so we can stop worrying and simply know what to look out for.

Children don’t die because their parents don’t worry. But children do die if their parents don’t know.

Now you know about Type 1 Diabetes.


BullyingMy point of view

By Penny Gotch

I was bullied when I was at school. Yeah, I know

– a fat, nerdy, undiagnosed-autistic kid getting picked on. Unbelievable! But I’ve forgiven my primary school. When I think back to those times, I think of writing stories in sparkly gel pen, making “bird nests” on the field, rolling down the hill and getting grass stains on my skirt, summer fêtes, and hiding indoors when everybody else went outside so I could have fun, reading. I forgave them long ago.

My secondary school? That’s a different story. They let a girl harass me for a year before putting us in separate groups. They stood by as I nearly had

a nervous breakdown over people groping me for their own amusement. They never did anything about strangers calling me names. And instead of kicking out the boy in my IT class who kept stealing my bag and upsetting me, they took me out.

To me, they were at fault just as much as the people picking on me. I’ve been thinking about things recently, and I’m starting to look at my time at school differently. I was a bit paranoid as a teenager. I became convinced by the end of my time at secondary school that almost everybody in my year hated me. But on the last day, how many people in the year signed my shirt and yearbook saying they’d miss me?

Almost everyone.

Could it be that my own insecurity and undiagnosed disability were causing a lot of my pain? Possibly. I put the effort in to imagine what it must have been like for my school. When I started getting bullied at secondary school, I did what any kid should do when they’re being picked on: I told an adult. Then, when

that didn’t help, I just stopped talking. I decided that adults were useless and I had to deal with things on my own. But who says they knew what was going on? When I get very emotional, my brain stops working properly and I end up with holes in my memory where I can recall what I felt, but not what actually happened. So can I guarantee that I communicated what I needed to my teachers? No.

After all, it wasn’t until my father – a neurotypical – had sharp words with the head-teacher that anything happened with the girl in Year Eight. Was it because he had more sway, or because they understood him better than me? There’s no way to know for sure. But maybe they were just as frustrated as I was. Maybe there was just too much of a communication barrier for them to help me. I don’t know. But I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I will forgive them.
