Hello everyone,

I expect you are aware of the proposed changes to the law for home educators. You probably know that these came forward in the Queen's Speech yesterday. Under the new law that may be passed:

1. We would have to re-register yearly to have the right to educate our children at home
2. Local Education Authorities would have the right to interview our children without us being present

Although the government may have reasons for these changes in the law, they represent a shift in power away from families to the state. We believe that, with all their imperfections, families are far better at looking after the educational interests of children than the state.

If you agree, please could you try and sign the petition that is being organised to oppose these changes in the law. You will need to sign the correct one for your parliamentary constituency. You can find out how to do this  here:

http://www.freedomforfamilyeducation.org/

The section at the bottom of the page lets you contact the co-ordinator for your constituency who can then tell you how to sign the petition.

Thanks for reading and considering this,

Julian

Hi everyone

The Northolt Group will meet from 12 - 3 this Thursday at the Scout Hall in
Laughton road.

We are going to do some junk modelling this week. I have a big bag of cardboard
boxes / tubes of various sizes but if you have any more please bring them along.

We'll also have some colouring and the usual assortment of games and toys.

Hope to see you all there!

Julie

Hello everyone

Apologies for the late notice but this week the meeting will be at Lime Trees Park rather than at the scout hut.

Julie Fisher is away this week so we have the key but we are all sick today. We may well be OK by tomorrow but I thought it would be better to designate the park as the meeting place so that it won't matter whether we can come or not. Sorry about this. Anyone who has paid in advance we will roll the payment over to the next week.

Julie

I
There seems to be a very nasty tummy bug doing the rounds - hope you all
get better soon!  We've all been sick, Darrell and Mark are currently in
the final stages of it now :( not sure if we'll make it or not - will
depend on how long it all lasts!

Hope everyone else out there is ok,

A reminder that we have a special treat this Thursday!



We will be having an Animal Encounters session and will be visited by a giant
millipede, an African land snail, a bearded dragon, a corn snake and a lop-eared
rabbit!



The children will be able to see the animals up close and handle some of them
too.



The session will run from 12 - 3pm as usual and the Animal Encounters people
will be there at around 12:45



See you then!



Julie

All being well our four should be there - with one adult, probably me,
but possibly the mother in law if things are moving with the move :)

Hi everyone

At the next session on Thursday 15th October, from 1pm to 2pm, we will be having an Animal Encounters session.

I think it will be really interesting. We will be visited by a giant millipede, an African land snail, a bearded dragon, a corn snake and maybe a lop-eared rabbit. The children will be able to see the animals up close and handle some of them too.

I need to give the Animal Encounters people an approximate idea of numbers (children and adults) so if you are planning to come to this session please can you reply to let me know.

Thanks very much,

Julie

Hello all

Just to confirm that we are meeting at the usual time and place this Thursday -
in the scout hut on Laughton Road from midday to 3pm.

I won't be there this week as I have to work so James will bring Adam. Julie F
will be there as usual.

Julie and I have been condidering making one of the sessions in October and
Animal Encounter session where a lady would come in with a selection of animals
which she would talk about and the children could handle - things like a corn
snake, a rabbits, a bearded dragon, tortoise, giant land snail... Please can you
let Julie know if you think this would be something your child(ren) would enjoy.

See you all in a couple of weeks time.

Julie

Hello everyone and apologies that this is later in the week than usual...

I just wanted to confirm that we are meeting, as usual, at the scout hall this
week and Natasha or Aaruhn *will* definitely be there this week for games with
the children! Outdoors if the weather is good enough or indoors if it isn't.

Hope to see you there,

Julie

Hi all,

We are planning an outing to Cassiobury Park in Watford on Tuesday
morning and wondered if anyone else was around (I know several people
are away already).....

We have no particular plans for the day at all but a cycle and perhaps
a paddle if the weather permits, a ride on the train, a play in the
playgrounds, and a picnic/lunch in the cafe if it's too cold!  I'm
guessing we'll be in the car park about 10.30 - so if you are
interested please let us know and we'll wait for you?

Weather cover will be Parents Paradise softplay, but we won't be
staying there quite so long!!

APOLOGIES EVERYONE...

I was looking at the wrong week on my schedule when I sent out the e-mail about
what will be happening this week.

Natasha and Aaruhn are NOT actually booked for this week at all - it is the next
session that they are coming, on 3rd September.

I am VERY sorry - please apologise to any children who were looking forward to
it and will be disappointed.

Julie

constructions that are outside the scout hut. The last couple of times there has
been some damage to these caused by children climbing on them and the scouts
have had to rebuild them. Also some of the children had buried toys in the
scouts flower beds. Monica has asked us to remind everyone to treat the scout's
equipment with respect. Please can we make sure that there is always at least
one adult outside to keep an eye on the children. Thank you.

> 2) Also just a reminder that paper towels are to be put in the bins and not
down the toilets. Monica said that they have had to unblock the toilets a couple
of times recently because of paper towels being flushed down. It may not be our
group that has done this - they didn't know who it was. However please could you
just remind your children so that they all know and so we are sure that it's not
us causing a problem.
