Children's Booster Workshops at the Peter and Paul Centre
While Half Term may be a time for the kids to relax from all the hard work they do at school, it can also be a great time for them to get ahead for any upcoming exams or to improve on any subject areas they might be struggling with.
For anyone who likes the sound of the latter, the Teddington Tutour's Children's Booster Workshop's might be a good option for you.
The workshops, which will be running from Tuesday, 27 May – Friday, 30 May, are suitable for children who will sit their 7+ or 8+ examinations this year.
Each day will focus on a different subject area as follows:
Tuesday, 27 May - Creative Writing & Vocabulary
Wednesday, 28 May - Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning
Thursday, 29 May - Reading Comprehension & Grammar
Friday, 30 May - Maths Problem Solving
The workshops will run from 10am – 11.30am on the above dates in The Goodhall Room in Teddington's Peter and Paul Centre.

Faery Trail at Strawberry Hill House & Garden
For those looking for something a little more fun to do with the kids this May Half Term, the Faery Trail at Strawberry Hill House & Garden might be a good idea for you.
The Faery Trail starts this Saturday (24 May) and will run throughout the whole Half Term week.
There are two trails – one in the house and one in the garden.
On the garden trail, guests will follow a trail map through the wood to see how they can help the faeries who have had a curse cast on them by a naughty group of pixies.
The garden trail map is £2 and can be picked up from The Garden Café, which is open seven days a week during May half term from 9am - 4pm. Garden entry is free.
Once guests have completed the trail, they can pick up a fairy sweet reward from the café.
Guests will then also be invited inside the house to spot the faeries in its magical rooms.
House entry is free for anyone under the age of five, £7.25 for children aged 6-16 (must be accompanied by an adult), and £14.50 for adults. The house is also open seven days a week during May Half Term, from 11am - 4pm.
Sounds fun right?
