We've gone COMPETITION crazy this summer with prizes from the Oceanarium, The Junction and Hengistbury Head plus a special competition from Marwell Zoo and Marwell Hotel. They're all live now and simple to enter!
For animal loving families use the Nature Spotter article in the magazine to entertain the kids finding wildlife in the local area and use the Nature Spotter online article from Hengistbury Head & Stour Valley Nature Reserve to find more details about these amazing creatures. I'd love to hear how you get on, emaill some of your pictures over to bournemouth@raring2go.co.uk and I'll share as many as I can plus email the children a Nature Spotter certificate!
For parents with children starting school or moving up a stage this September we have some amazing advice in the Starting Big School article on helping children prepare for the change from Ringwood Waldorf School. It's not the usual things parents are told (well I wasn't anyway!) and applies to so many life situations it's definitely worth reading.
Summer is also the season of every child's favourite school holiday. We've got loads of ideas for family days out, indoor and outside and also Holiday Clubs and Classes to keep the children entertained plus if you need some R&R DK Health Studios are on standby with a range of treatments ;)
