Amazing free digital resource

Reading and sharing books with your children is a guaranteed way to support their progress and overall achievement; exploring imaginary countries, understanding someone's point of view, unlocking vocabulary etc.


If you have an iPad, iPhone or access to a computer, why not visit the International Children's Library.  Here you can read a variety of international books, in various languages.


'The ICDL Foundation's goal is to build a collection of books that represents outstanding historical and contemporary books from throughout the world. Ultimately, the Foundation aspires to have every culture and language represented so that every child can know and appreciate the riches of children's literature from the world community.'

New Streatham Leisure Centre needs sauna, steam room & solar panels

I have been asked to put out the following request...

 If you plan to use the new Streatham Leisure Centre when it is built, you need to act NOW if you want it to have a sauna, steam room and solar panels.

Local people were promised that the Streatham Hub development would be sustainable and would have a modern health and fitness leisure centre.

However, local residents were told at the public meeting organised by Tesco and Lambeth Council on 22^nd February 2012 that there will be no solar panels, no steam room or sauna.

Please join the 173 people that have already signed this petition and spread the word to your networks. We have no resources to get this out to people other than online.
