The captivating Hogwarts Library Collection brings to life three spellbinding volumes from the wizarding world: “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” “Quidditch Through the Ages” and “The Tales of Beedle the Bard.” These audiobooks boast a stellar cast of voices, which Harry Potter fans everywhere will recognise from both stage and screen including Noma Dumezweni, Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne and Bonnie Wright.
An essential trio for young listeners aged eight and up, the collection invites them to explore magical texts found on the shelves in the Hogwarts Library. Listeners will encounter extraordinary magical creatures like the Bowtruckle and Niffler in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” and explore timeless, whimsical fables in “The Tales of Beedle the Bard.” “Quidditch Through the Ages” offers a deep dive into the history and rules of the wizarding world’s most beloved sport, and features exclusive match commentary not included in the print edition – a must-have for any Quidditch lover.
According to a survey of 1000 teachers and 1000 parents by Kindred2, 2.5 hours of teacher time is lost every day helping children who are not school ready.
The research found that 37% are unable to dress independently and 38% find it difficult to play or share with others. Learning Resources has a range of toys to help preschoolers develop basic skills through play, including the brand new Dressing Skills Bean Bags. Designed for little hands to help master real-world dressing skills, the bean bags feature illustrations of 8 commonly used items of clothing or shoes on one side, with their matching fastenings on the other. As they use the zip, toggle, buttons, shoelace, and more, children will become more confident at getting undressed and dressed on their own. After the learning fun is over, the bean bags store inside the included drawstring bag.
Available from Amazon. RRP £29.95.

With St Patrick’s Day just days away, what better time to think, talk and eat all things Irish!!
There is an abundance of beautiful Irish produce available in the UK, including the revered brand, Clonakilty. A staple of Irish households, Clonakilty is famed for their range of breakfast foods, think Sausages, Whitepudding and their iconic Blackpudding. And this is where we must stay a minute to chat some more, for this is an absolute must try!!!
First made in the 1880’s with a secret recipe that remains the same to this day, Clonakilty Blackpudding is Ireland’s favourite black pudding. Using wholesome ingredients supplied by Irish farmers, Clonakilty Blackpudding is made using traditional methods combining beef, oatmeal, onions, beef blood and a secret blend of spices. It is this special blend of ingredients that gives Clonakilty its unique taste, crumbly texture and distinctive flavour. What makes this story all the more wonderful, is that each generation of the Clonakilty Food Co business has had a guardian of the recipe for the secret spice mix – it might well be Ireland’s best kept secret! Happily, Clonakilty Sausages, Whitepudding and Blackpudding are available to buy from Ocado.

This March marks Brain Tumour Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the children and families affected by brain tumours, particularly those fighting the rare and aggressive form known as DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). This month, we remember and honour the courageous and inspirational little boy, Billy the Brave, who tragically passed away on 31st March 2024 after a brave battle with DIPG.
Billy’s story is one of immense strength and resilience. DIPG is a devastating paediatric brain tumour, diagnosed in children and occurring in the pons area of the brain, which controls vital functions like breathing, sleeping, and movement. This cancer is particularly aggressive, with no known cure, and a prognosis that is heartbreakingly short.
In honour of Billy and others affected by DIPG, we’re coming together this month to raise vital funds for research, treatment, and awareness. Billy’s family has launched a JustGiving campaign, Billy’s Battalion, with the goal of raising £10,000 by the end of March to fund crucial research into DIPG and support other children and families battling this devastating disease. Every donation brings us closer to finding a cure, supporting families, and continuing Billy’s legacy of bravery and hope.
Please consider making a contribution this month, whether it’s a small donation or sharing Billy’s story with others to spread awareness. Donate now at Billy’s Battalion JustGiving Page and help us reach our £10,000 goal. Thank you for your support and for honouring Billy’s memory.
