There are times when all children find learning tricky. Whether they find spelling hard, hate writing or can’t quite get to grips with different maths tasks. So, it’s great when you find something that inspires children to learn and makes them want to do homework rather than hate it. We’ve just discovered SmartBooks AR and it’s a fantastic tool for learning maths at home.
Welcome back to another week of Living Arrows! I love this project, I’ve been doing it for so many years now and it’s always nice seeing who links up and watching children and families grow throughout the year.
October half term is always one of our favourite school holidays. The start of the school year always takes some getting used to and so, by October half term, we’re all in need of a break. Plus, it’s autumn, the perfect time to snuggle up at home, make hot chocolate and play board games together.
But, it’s also lovely to get our and about, go for a walk and make some memories surrounded by all the signs of autumn. So I thought I’d put together some ideas of things to do across Surrey this October half term.
When we were in Florida this summer we wanted to try out a couple of the waterparks as a break from theme parks and other attractions. The children were much younger last time we came to Florida and we didn’t really have time for water parks but this time we wanted to give them a go – and our first stop was the Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.
When we went to Florida we booked a few extra things that we thought would be nice to do and make our holiday a different experience to the one we had back in 2018, the last time we were in Orlando. One of the things we booked was the Seaworld Dine With Orcas experience.

Everyone loves pumpkin picking, don’t they? It’s something that is on so many calendars, something families look forward to and that children get excited about for months. It’s one of our favourite things about autumn and I’ve been researching more places we can go pumpkin picking in Surrey.
We love seeing fireworks. It’s a real annual tradition and something the children always love. It’s always nice to get the extended family together or a group of friends and enjoy the festivities together. Something seasonal that all ages can enjoy.
I thought it would be nice to put together all the professional firework displays across Surrey so you can add the dates to your diary. I’ve found so many that I hadn’t heard of before – we have so many fantastic displays in Surrey.

We bought our family car back in 2014 and went for the cheaper option of buying a car from stock so we didn’t get much of a choice when it came to gadgets and gizmos being built in.
Over the years we have added dash cams and gone through a few Sat Nav units but one thing we hadn’t really thought of was a tracking device, should the worst happen and the car get stolen. When PAJ got in touch and offered us a GPS tracker to review, we thought we’d give it a go.
This time last month we were in Florida, halfway through our holiday. Now, we’ve been back at school just over a week, Dave and I are back to work and we’re all back in a routine. How things change in a month!
