Molly’s guide to... 

...getting crafty at Easter 

With Easter fast approaching, 

The Old Station Nursery has a 

cracking craft activity that you 

can do with your children. 

The craft activity uses resources 

available around the house and easily 

bought from craft stores or in the craft 

isle of your local supermarket. 

MARBLED EGGS 

Marbling is a wonderful art activity 

that offers instant enjoyment and 

satisfaction for all, a bit like glitter. 

With this activity we are making 

colourful decorated eggs that can 

sit in a basket or hang from an 

Easter tree. 

You simply drip a couple 

of drops of your chosen 

colour ink into the bowl 

of water and then 

holding the egg, dip 

the egg into the water. 

The ink sits on the top 

of the water and when the egg 

WHAT YOU NEED... 

½ dozen thoroughly 

hard boiled eggs 

A bowl of water 

Marbling inks, available 

from craft shops 

makes contact with the water the ink is drawn to 

the egg surface. You will need somewhere to dry 

them when they come out the water; we use two 

clothes pegs to balance them on while they dry. 

Top tip: do not add more than two colours to 

the water at any time as it tends to go brown 

and ensure that you change the water when you 

change the ink colour. 

If you fancy hanging your eggs from a tree, then 

simply superglue some ribbon to the top of the 

egg and leave over night. We chose to arrange 

ours in a basket. 




...stealthy eating 

Getting your children to eat 

a good range of nutritious 

food is up there as one of the 

things that the majority of 

parents worry about the most. 

From bad behaviour, lack of attention and 

obesity, we are all well aware of the problems 

that not eating properly brings. But as 

children develop a natural preference for the 

foods they enjoy the most, the challenge is 

to make healthy choices more appealing. 

Steve Quinn has managed to forge a 

successful business based on this approach. 

Previously a chef, he founded Cucina in 

2005 after becoming disillusioned with the 

standard of school food during his job as an 

area manager covering 250 school kitchens. 

Jamie Oliver’s school dinner’s campaign 

had just been broadcast on channel 4, which 

aimed at getting decent food into Britain’s 

schools. The series helped raise awareness 

but it didn’t take off. 

Steve knew that to succeed, he needed to 

make school food fun and great-tasting 

while also being freshly-cooked. 



A guide to making healthy eating easier 

by Tracey Davies 

Cucina is now serving food within 42 schools 

across England. Each school has its own 

experienced chef who hand makes a range 

of healthy dinners on site and presents them 

in attractive ways. 

Mark Cartwright is one of Cucina’s three 

Executive Chefs. He liaises with all the school 

chefs about which foods are the best sellers 

and any ideas they have to improve their 

menus. 

He said: “Our approach, which we call 

stealthy eating, has helped us more than 

double the uptake of school dinners 

in sites across England. 

“We serve good, honest food that every 

child can relate to. Stealthy eating doesn’t 

have to be about disguising healthy food. 

It’s just about making the recipes more 

interesting and fun and getting the children 

to try all the different tastes at least once. 

“Stealthy eating is very fruit and 

vegetable driven and packed with 

goodness, but we don’t like to make a 

big issue about that in front of the 

children, although we do try to be 

honest with them about what goes into 

their food. The more they like the food, 

the more they get to know about it and 

their knowledge increases. 

“We have found that children are 

much more aware of food and are 

more adventurous than they were a few 

years ago.” 

So whether you choose to give stealthy 

eating a try or not, by encouraging 

healthy eating habits now, you can make 

a huge impact on your children’s lifelong 

relationship with food and give them the 

best opportunity to grow into healthy, 

confident adults.

...Gainsborough Old Hall 

Molly’s Guide recently 

joined the John Hunt 

Nursery & Primary School, 

on an educational visit to 

Gainsborough Old Hall, as 

part of the year 3 focus on 

the Tudors. 

“It is always a pleasure to join 

the children on a school trip” 

says Sheelagh Stevens, mother 

of Scarlett 8 and Billy 5. “The fun 

begins as soon as the bus arrives 

outside the school. It’s wonderful 

for children today to be able 

to visit such fascinating places 

of great history as part of their 

education”. 

On arriving at Gainsborough 

Old Hall, we were met by our 

tour guides; Sean and Frances, 

(both dressed in clothing of the 

period) who talked us through the 

itinerary of the day. 

From dancing 

and juggling, 

to cooking 

and serving 

a banquet to 

the King, the 

children get 

into the swing 

of things with 

dressing up 

and joining in 


The tour of the Hall started in the 

Great Hall and the children were 

very excited to learn they would 

all have the chance to dress in 

period costume. Soon, both King 

Henry VIII and Queen Consort, 

Anne Boleyn, were alive, joined by 

jesters, jugglers and dancers.’ 

While getting into character I 

spotted Sean playing his Lute 

and a group of the boys dancing 

around him. The atmosphere 

was fabulous with all the children 

getting into role. King Henry 

happily stood for a picture 

alongside Queen Anne too!’ 


Focusing on nursery & primary school education 

We toured the medieval kitchen where the 

children were told about how food was 

prepared for the family and guests of the 

Hall. They were shown how bread was made 

in the bread ovens and how an ox would be 

roasted over the spit. Artificial pies, eggs, 

fruit and vegetables too, added to the scene 

– so all the children could really understand 

how different life was for the Tudors.’ 

A visit to the Solar Room – the private 

chambers of Lord Thomas Burgh and his 

family was a highlight for me! Sean talked of 

how the Tudors would prepare comfortable 

living space. The children were particularly 

humoured by stories of toilet arrangements 

and how they would deal with their fleas… 

Ammonia, it would seem, had many uses! 

Prior to lunch, the children were given the 

opportunity to be involved in a themed 

banquet. King Henry took his place at the 

centre of the top table with other royal 

dignitaries permitted to sit at his side. The 

children were delighted to serve the King 

and his guests with a specially prepared feast 

of cooked swan, freshly baked bread, fruit, 

vegetables and pies. 

The visit concluded with a quiz and the 

children needed to find the answers to the 

questions by retracing their steps through 

the Hall. In their groups they really paid 

special attention to the furniture, fabrics and 

the wall hangings. 

Back on the coach and heading back to 

school, I asked the children if they had 

enjoyed their trip. They were full of energy 

and excitement and it was clear that the trip 

was a great success.

Handcrafted & unique 

Newark’s number one children’s 

boutique REloved is celebrating 

its first birthday this month. 

REloved opened last year selling pre-loved, 

designer children’s clothing, toys and books, 

and also stocks handcrafted and unique 

gifts, perfect for new babies, christenings 

and birthdays. 


REloved 

Caroline Evans created REloved after 

hearing friends complain about what to do 

with the clothes that their children couldn’t 

wear anymore, but that still had so 

much life and love left in them. 

“I liked the idea of giving people the chance 

to earn extra money by having somewhere 

to sell their items on. We started selling 

handcrafted gifts to give local crafters the 

opportunity to showcase their talents,” 

added Caroline. 

Children grow up so fast so we’ve always 

“ got new stock arriving. Lots of parents 

who shop with us say that their children 

have never dressed so well!

...Aviation Heritage 

Exciting times lie ahead for our 

schools around the county following a 

new initiative implemented by the Arts 

Council of England and the Department 

for Education in October last year 

Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, a partnership 

of ten key aviation sites in the county ranging 

from the Aviation Centre at East Kirkby to the 

Operations Room at RAF Digby, have been 

awarded £234,000 to promote our museums 

and visitor centres to schools and educational 

establishments in Lincolnshire. 

With this funding we are planning to install 

the very latest technology over the coming 

three years at all our locations, including group 

interactive and CGI media. In addition, the sites 

will be equipped with teaching aids such as 

electronic white boards to assist in classroom 

discussions. See wartime aircraft close up and 

let the children feel the emotions of the age. 

To help teachers plan for visits we have 

developed a nationally-recognised Teachers’ 

Pack website entitled Take Flight, which will 

assist in setting up trips to the centres as well 

as pre- and post visits, and also offer up various 

topics for use during the visits. 

It’s not just an upgrade in exhibition media 

which will benefit, as AHL is also planning to 



The sky’s the limit for education 

have re-enactors and trained support staff on 

hand to make sure that the children get the 

most out of the day. 

Costumes will be available to enhance 

the experience of life in war-time Britain 

and some sites have recreated the 1940 

classroom complete with sirens and ink pots 

to demonstrate what it was like before the 

computer age. 

To further encourage schools to participate 

in this three year project, schools will plan 

on visiting one of our sites at least once 

a year. We will be offering assistance in 

supporting the cost of transport. Twice a 

year there will be a competition draw for 

participating schools and the two prizes will 

be an all-expenses trip to the RAF National 

Museum at Cosford. Two lucky schools 

from the county are already planning their 

trips in March following the most recent 

draw in January. 

If you want to do a multicentre 

visit in one day that 

can be arranged and we 

recommend the Visitor 

Centres at RAF Cranwell, 

RAF Digby or Thorpe Camp, 

which can cater for packed 

school lunches.

Making travelling fun 

Henry Ruddock, Chairman of Ruddocks of 

Lincoln, father of twins Sarah and John (7 ½ ) 

– talks to Molly’s Guide about travel games… 


travel games 

‘Once ‘I-Spy’,’ spot a blue car’ and ‘first 

one to see something green’ (doesn’t 

last long unless you’re sailing) have been 

exhausted, then your options shrivel to 

earplugs, shouting, or a travel game. Nil 

desperandum, there are plenty. Don’t 

neglect the basics – colouring and stickers – 

and it’s great to watch the colours matching 

the space as they grow older (I mean years, 

not minutes). 

Trivia and learning games score highly, 

especially for boys who love the 

competitive angle (most boys can turn 

anything into a competition), and one 

good one is ‘On the go’. Spend 10 seconds 

memorising the picture (them, not you) and 

despite avid scrutiny you can guarantee the 

first question is the one thing they hadn’t 

noticed (or maybe it’s just me). Quizonics 

do the same kind of thing. If you want to 

sneak in a bit of education masquerading as 

entertainment (would you be so devious?) 

then there’s lots of stuff on words, times 

tables, flags etc. Secret Scholar is one to 

look out for here. 

Travel games shouldn’t have too many 

bits. Apart from losing that vital piece (and 

it always is that one) you then have the 

gruesome prospect of finding it during the 

biennial (assuming that means every other 

year) valet of the back seat (but not so you 

can easily see) in the remains of a historic 

Smartie overlaid with the last few drops 

of a fruit shoot which has upended itself 

in the crack. 

Do you remember those annoying puzzles 

with 15 little squares which slid around 

until you made the picture? Or got the 

numbers in the right order. Apparently, I 


have recently learnt, around 10% of them 

never worked! This could not be said of ‘get 

the mouse to the cheese’, or ‘pirate ship to 

gold’. But they are still annoying. 

Crayola have travel packs – spiral, doodle – 

but Crayola is always good value, even with 

plain A4 paper (having tried other makes, 

we now stock only Crayola. It is just so much 

better). Play in the car CD? At around £7 it’s 

worth a try, with songs, stories and memory 

games (10 games in all). 

If you want to let the kids loose on your 

iPhone or Android device, you can fit it into 

a wee case that will let you play a Peppa Pig 

or Fireman Sam game, or others to choose 

from. There is also a Trivia Quiz game. 

Are you there yet? At least all of the above 

(I think) are well less than a tenner, except 

for the iPhone games (£11.99), so if they can 

help the journey pass quickly, then that has 

got to be good value. 

Enjoy your journey!

The University of Lincoln School Newspaper 

Project will soon complete its 100th 

newspaper with a county primary or 

secondary school. The project aims to give 

school students the experience of being a 

real journalist and life in a busy newsroom, 

with the added bonus that all their work is 

professionally printed in a 16-page newspaper 

for their school. 

Since it started in 2009, dozens of schools and 

hundreds of pupils have taken part, learning 

the skills of a reporter, photographer, page 

designer and editor as they put together their 

own publication. 

The pupils work with a team of professional 

journalists and university undergraduates, 

who come to their school for the day and help 

them complete their own paper. The finished 

paper is then printed by project partners, 

Mortons of Horncastle, and up to 2000 copies 

are given to the school. 


Innovation in Lincolnshire schools 

The pupils all get a copy, and the rest are 

often distributed to the local community. 

Project leader and journalism lecturer, Tim 

Greenfield said: “This year will be a real 

milestone for us as we pass the 100th school 

mark. Last year was our most successful ever, 

with 40 schools taking part and we hope the 

project continues to be as popular in the 

coming years.” 

The project aims to raise awareness of 

local journalism, and also enables schools 

to showcase their work, and reach out to 

local communities. The papers are excellent 

way for students to complete work to a 

professional standard, and to work with 

experienced journalists in the process. Many 

schools use the day as part of enrichment 

activities. 

Proud of their pages, school pupils show off their 

newspages after a newsday with journalism students 

Over 120,000 newspapers have been printed 

since 2009 and schools from Scunthorpe to 

Spalding have taken part. Many schools take 

part year after year, and a few complete more 

than one newspaper each year. In addition, 

the university is able to offer schools or 

groups of schools the chance to have their 

newspaper day on the Brayford campus 

instead of in their own school. It means pupils 

can use the university’s fantastic facilities and 

learn about life at university too. 

“We didn’t imagine four years ago that 

the project would snowball as it has done, 

but it just shows in this age of tablets and 

smartphones, there is still a place for real 

newspapers. We have seen how much 

students treasure the newspapers, especially 

when their name is printed on the page – that 

experience is priceless.” 

If you would like to know about the 

project, please visit our website www. 

schoolnewspaper.co.uk or email Tim 

Greenfield at tgreenfield@lincoln.ac.uk.

Lincoln 

College 

...24+ advanced learning 

Have you considered going back to College but 

been put off by the costs? Have you wanted to 

retrain, but felt it was too much of a financial risk? 

Well, a new initiative by the government 

will allow you to retrain with no upfront 

costs. Called 24+ Advanced Learning Loans, 

this scheme operates very similarly to the 

University loans system. In short, you take out 

a loan to pay for the costs of your course, and 

only start to pay it back when you have left 

your course and earn over £21k per year. 

Your household income isn’t taken into 

account, and there is no credit check. The 

amount you can borrow depends on your 

course, and the tuition fees - the money you 

borrow will be paid directly to the College 

on your behalf. 

The choice of courses that you can get a 

loan for is wide and includes A Levels, Level 

3 and Level 4 Certificates and Diplomas plus 

Advanced and Higher Level Apprentices. 

These courses are available across a wide 

variety of subject areas including business, 

accounting, construction, engineering, hair 

and beauty. In addition, you can also access 

a loan to study on the Access to Higher 

Education course: this course is an intensive 

course to get people prepared to study for 

a degree. 

The very first loan repayments will be made in 

April 2016 – and only then if you are earning 

over the £21k threshold. Your repayments 

are based on what you earn, not how much 

you borrowed. So for example, if you earn 

£22k, your monthly repayment will be £7. 

To find out more, please visit www.direct. 

gov.uk/advanced learning loans or www. 

lincolncollege.ac.uk/ 24_advanced_learning_ 

loans or contact Lincoln College on 

01522 680680 or email 

enquiries@lincolncollege.ac.uk. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


looking to the future... 

Karine Jasper, the new principal of The 

Newark Academy explains her vision for 

the future. “I want The Newark Academy 

to be the first choice for students and 

parents in our catchment area. I want to 

stop the flow of young people leaving 

Newark every morning by making sure 

that everything they want and need from a 

school is available right on their doorstep. 

We are excited to be benefiting from a 

complete new build and are on schedule to 

move in 2015. Our physical surroundings are 

not our main focus though – how we teach, 

nurture and prepare our students for success 

in further study and the world of work is our 

primary concern. We were delighted to see 

our rise up the GCSE league tables published 

last month, and strive to climb even higher in 

the coming years. Outside of the classroom, 

we have started an exciting initiative to link 

with local businesses on enterprise activities. 

The Newark 

Academy 

We also continue to enhance our 

opportunities for extracurricular activities, 

such as our morning and afternoon study 

clubs and trips and visits. 

I firmly believe a close working relationship 

with parents and the community is crucial to 

the success of any school. I am always keen 

to meet and listen to parents of existing 

or prospective students. I feel honoured 

to be in the position to build on the solid 

foundation of The Newark Academy, and 

develop a school recognised beyond 

Balderton and Newark for excellence.” 

You can meet Karine Jasper, the new 

Principal, at local primary school parents’ 

evenings or alternatively please contact her 

on 01636 615000 or enquiries@thenewarkaca 

demy.co.uk to arrange a meeting.

...enterprising mums 

CLAIRE 

DIXON 

WENDY ROSS 

I first realised there was a huge gap in 

professional childcare provision when, 

the parents I worked with asked me why I 

couldn’t go home with them and continue 

supporting them in their own homes. 

When my own children were small, I was 

very lucky that I had the help of my mum, 

but many families move away, especially in 

the Lincolnshire area where there are lots 

of forces families. 

With over 35 years of childcare experience, 

working in many different and diverse 

settings, I decided to look at childcare 

from a different angle and find out what 

parents really want. 

I now provide nannies that care, can 

be called upon at short notice and for 

whatever time the family needs them for. 

I am also a breast feeding counsellor with 

a wealth of experience and offer a breast 

feeding package which I can deliver in the 

family home to an expectant mother and 

her supporters. 

In October 

2011 my sister 

and I set up 

Trewly Bella 

Baby Boutique. I 

found out immediately I was pregnant 

after nearly four years of trying. I was 

ecstatic, but wondered how I would 

manage a new baby, my two other 

children and a new business. The 

business had to take a back seat until 

that is…September 2012! 

I had started to have doubts about 

returning to my other job as a HR 

Manager. Luckily for me I was made 

redundant in February 2012 so the 

decision was made for me and I could 

really focus on the business and be at 

home with my daughter. 

I have lots of plans for Trewly Bella 

Baby Boutique; selling online, 

exhibiting at events as well as 

continuing to host parties. 

Organising charity events is another 

real love of mine and to date I have 

organised 13 ranging from Charity Balls 

to Fun days.

...Daddy Day Care 

Bunnies, overloading on chocolate 

and colouring in eggs - as if I only 

needed one reason not to love Easter 

And sadly that number of seasonal irritants is 

growing as the marketeers of big firms think 

up new ways to celebrate this supposedly 

religious festival. 

I saw a ‘Traditional Easter Roast’ advertised 

by a supermarket the other day, like it has 

been happening for years - with a picture of 

a family getting together to feast on a horse 

pulled straight from the oven. Sorry I meant 

beef - don’t know how that got in there… 

However, there is one positive to Easter 

- Bank Holidays. I’m sure all parents of young 

children who read this will be appreciating 

that right now the weather is nearly up to 

a balmy 15 degrees, sunlight occasionally 


pours like wine through the window and we 

can finally get our kids outdoors without 

fear of death by snowmageddon - the 

avalanche of warnings about snow and cold 

weather by the national media which results 

in empty shelves at the shops, heating 

turned up to tropical conditions and an 

inexplicable desire to buy a plastic shovel. 

Joseph and George Charlton 

I found the icy weather and snow we had 

this year utterly annoying. After day of 

making snowmen and throwing snowballs, 

that’s it, the snow is just sitting there. 

And once someone has retreated indoors 

that’s pretty much it until the snow 

disappears - which could be days. 

“I’m not coming over because of the 

snow.” “The football is cancelled because 

of the snow”, “We better not go out 

because of the snow....” etc, etc. In the end 

you find yourself sitting with your kids from 

7am surrounded by Peppa Pig DVDs and 

playdough thinking somehow this will be 

enough to get through to bedtime in 12 

hours’ time. 

At first it feels like a fun challenge - 

everyone is cosy on the sofa, the snow is 

falling outside and even though its early 

February you see yourself as Bing Crosby 

in White Christmas, romantically enjoying 

being stranded with your family. 

By 9.30am, you feel like John Wayne in 

The Longest Day - wondering how you will 

lead your platoon to the relative safety of 

bath-time. 

So right now I see Easter, and springtime in 

general, as quite an exciting time, almost 

like a reawakening after the hibernation of 

winter. 

The boys can go out without six layers of 

clothes on and have a good run around. As 

they approach 4-years-old in the summer, 


the world is an increasingly interesting 

place - big cars, boats, animals, and so on. 

Once you’re out of the house there’s so 

much to see and do, time flies and it’s fun 

for everyone. 

So for that reason, Easter as a celebration 

of general egginess doesn’t excite 

me. We’ve still got chocolate left from 

Christmas, colouring in eggs just reminds 

me of a bald bloke I once knew who had 

a fetish for make-up and the Easter bunny 

is more ludicrous to explain than Father 

Christmas. “Yes boys, you know a jolly man 

in a red coat came down our chimney at 

Christmas and gave you presents? Well 

now a rabbit has spent the morning hiding 

chocolate in the garden… in the garden… 

yes…it’s perfectly normal behaviour.” 

And on that note, I’d like to say have 

a great Easter and appreciate getting 

outdoors again. Although knowing my luck 

it’ll be snowing.
