With the ever-increasing spotlight being placed on Mental Health, not just in adults, but also in children, we at Centaur have created and designed a whole host of courses suitable for everyone to help tackle Mental Health. Centaur Training Services (North West) Ltd is a Lancashire based company who specialise in providing quality, fun training to Businesses, schools, nurseries and individuals, throughout the North West. WHAT YOU CAN DO Following the Governments recent pledge to provide more funding and support for Youth Mental Health Services, Centaur Training Services needs you to get involved. We want Children’s Mental Health to be at the forefront of everyone’s mind. We want to get as many people as possible, trained to recognise the signs and symptoms of Mental Health conditions. Early intervention to identify issues and provide effective support is crucial. Without this, Mental Health issues will only continue to increase and affect more and more children. For more information on the courses we offer or to speak to someone about selecting the right course for, please go to www.centaurtraining.co.uk or call us on 01772 433080.

Raring2go! WHAT’S ON / WHERE TO GO 16 The music industry is worth over 23 billion dollars, but that’s not why we do it. Adele said the first time she heard Etta James sing it made her stop what she was doing and sit down and listen. “It took over my mind and body.” Which song has ever made you do that? Or does it do the opposite, and make you get up and start dancing? When we sing, we feel like we are flying but we know our feet are fixed firmly to the ground. It moves you inside. When I play the piano, I can’t explain where my thoughts brain go, but at the end of the song or piece of music, I feel like I have woken up. Focus on music Never underestimate the skills you haven’t found yet. If you don’t fancy playing an instrument, or singing, there is plenty to learn in music theory. Did you know that Ed Sheeran writes songs for many other singers, so he could make a very good living without ever releasing a record of his own? There are many songwriters whose names we have never heard of, so being a musician isn’t always necessarily about having fame and fortune like it’s sometimes made out to be. If you could be any musician, what would you like to be? Singing, dancing and acting classes for year-olds Stagecoach Performing Arts is the trading name of Stagecoach Theatre Arts Limited.

Raring2go! 18 Little Guides to Great Lives: ‘Anne Frank’ A brief guide to Anne Frank Reviewed by Darcy Plant, age 8 from Stourbridge Raring2Read! BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FAMILIES Does your family enjoy reading? Then join our Facebook group, to share ideas, tips and recommendations. www.facebook.com/groups/raring2read “This book is about a Jewish girl called Anne who was Jewish and dreamed of being an author. I liked reading about her early childhood. She spent most of her time enjoying herself. She rode her bike and played with her sister Margot. I didn't like reading about the Germans because they wanted to capture all of the Jews. Anne is now famous because of the diary that her Dad, Otto Frank, published in all of the languages of the world. She wrote about what went on during the World War II. Anne and her family were hiding behind Otto's office, so she left her kitty named Mouschi If you enjoy reading about the past and you want to know more about Anne Frank then I recommend reading this book. Raring2go! would like to thank Darcy Plant for her incredible review of this book about Anne Frank. We were genuinely thrilled to receive Darcy’s review especially in light of her young years and given the nature of the book itself. Darcy’s review (pictured left) was so well rounded and presented. We look forward to keeping up with Darcy’s reading list in future.
Raring2go! 20 21 CLUBS & CLASSES Raring2go! raring2go.co.uk Step 1Preheat the oven to 170˚C (335˚F) and prepare your Bundt tin by brushing the inside with melted butter, dusting with flour and shaking out the excess (or use cake release spray) Step 2Cream the butter, sugar, zest and flavourings together in a stand mixer or by hand until very pale and fluffy. Step 3 Beat in the eggs gently one by one until fully incorporated. Step 4In a separate bowl lightly mix the almonds, flour and baking powder to distribute all evenly then gently mix into the wet ingredients. Step 5Pour into the tin, level off and bake for approximately 35–45 minutes, until cooked through. Use a cake tester in the centre to check. Turn the cake out and leave it to cool on a rack. Step 6Meanwhile mix your fondant sugar, zest, orange blossom and water to a dripping (but not runny) consistency Step 7Pipe all over your cake so the fondant flows into the crevices and over the pattern of your Bundt. Decorate with flowers. About the bake Our friend Juliet Sear from ITV's 'Juliet Bakes' has shared this recipe with us. Flavoured with a splash of orange blossom water and the zest and zing of orange, this Bundt is both fresh and floral. It seems only fitting to decorate it with delicate edible flowers (primroses look particularly impressive) and a drizzle of sweet fondant icing.

Raring2go! PLACES TO GO Raring2go! PLACES TO GO 4 raring2go.co.uk 5 Love the Earth 10 ways to love the Earth 1. Love Nature Having an appreciation of nature from an early age will help children see that our world is beautiful and worth their time and efforts. Local parks, woodlands and nature reserves are a great place to start. Ask youngsters to spot things from nature or print out a bug hunt, scavenger trail or animal detective sheet from our website www.raring2go.co.uk/kidszone Make art from what you find on your walk. Look out for children’s holiday workshops that encourage a love of nature such as pond dipping or forest schools. 2. Love Animals A great way to develop a love for animals is to see them with your own eyes. By visiting your local zoo, safari park or animal conservation centre you are helping to conserve endangered species here and abroad. Find out how their work supports animals from their websites. 3. Love Walking Getting out on foot is by far the best way to travel for the environment and is good for our health too. Get children to love walking by making it fun. Get a pedometer or download a free app to your phone so they can see how many steps they’ve taken. Try the Love Exploring free app www.loveexploring.co.uk which includes games and guided tours. 4. Love Recycling Get your children to help with sorting the recycling when they are old enough. It might seem a massive task to reduce the amount of plastics we use, but break it down so that children can see the small things they can do can make a difference. Take a reusable water bottle to school, don’t wrap sandwiches in cling film, if their school doesn’t recycle ask them to bring their lunch litter home so it can be recycled with household waste, use rechargeable batteries for their electronic toys and games instead of single-use batteries. 7. Love Cycling Bikes are a sustainable transport option so get youngsters on a bike as soon as possible. Bikeability courses teach your child how to ride a bike safely and are run at locations across the country. Read our tips on how to ride a bike at www. raring2go.co.uk 5. Love Food Visit local working farms to see how our food is grown, meet the animals, buy local produce from the farm shop or pickyour-own fruit, veg and pumpkins or pay a visit to your local refill shop. Visit the Love Food, Hate Waste website for lots of tips including recipes to use up left-overs, storage tips and a useful portion planner for 1-2, 4-10 and 11-18-year-olds. www.lovefoodhatewaste.com 6. Love Pre-Loved Encourage children to be proud to wear ‘hand-me-downs’ from brothers and sisters, cousins and friends as ‘pre-loved’ items cut down on waste and your carbon foot print. Re-useable nappies work out cheaper the more babies that wear them! There’s loads of resale apps but why not consider giving your good quality used clothes to a local charity shop, so you are helping a local cause as well as the environment. Uniforms can be problematic as they are not accepted by all charity shops. Why not set up a uniform swap at your school or you can sign your school up to Uniformerly www.uniformerly.co.uk 9. Love Gifts We all like a present to open but often they involve buying lots of plastic. If you are invited to a Naming or Christening ceremony consider buying a tree that could be planted in the child’s garden. They can then see how tall the tree has grown as they grow and if you buy a fruit tree, they can even eat fruit from it. The best time to plant a tree is in the colder months, get advice from your local garden centre. 10. Love Water Remember to turn off taps when brushing your teeth and that showers are more economical than baths. Litter can find its way into rivers, streams and canals and can make its way to the sea. To keep it from blowing into waterways join an organised litter pick or organise one yourself. www.keepbritaintidy.org 8. Love Local You don’t have to travel abroad to have fun, you can reduce your carbon footprint by getting together closer to home. We are so lucky in this area to have so many exciting places such as the ones in this magazine. Why not visit a different park, playground, or woodland each weekend? Climate change is the topic of the moment but how can we help our children develop a love for the Earth without scaring them? 29 LOVE THE PLANET Raring2go! raring2go.co.uk Raring2go!
