We need to talk about bullying – as a nation | Oscar Rickett England is among the world leaders in bullying. Today, the Children’s Society released its annual Good Childhood Report. In an international comparison of children’s happiness in 15 countries, the report found that England ranked bottom “for a number of aspects of children’s wellbeing, including those relating to school life, bullying and, especially for teenage girls, feelings about themselves”. Half of children in England say they “have been left out by other children in the last month”. The report’s authors say that their research has highlighted that children who have been bullied are much more likely to be unhappy than other children. I know from personal experience the effect bullying has on your mental health. At school, I felt unable to say anything about what was happening to me. And life, for more than two years, was like that; a daily pageant of pain and humiliation. When I left school, I began to realise that life didn’t have to be like that.

English exam questions: Can you answer tricky grammar faced by 11-year-olds? | Education An academic has challenged adults to answer the questions faced by 11-year-olds in what she describes as a "daunting" grammar test. In an article for the Times Education Supplement, Dr Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), says she is "exhausted" by the expectations the national education curriculum places on students. She describes a "grammar-filled primary school career" which asks its pupils to respond to exam questions about grammar structures such as the subjunctive, modal verbs, relative clauses and determiners before they finish primary school. To prove her point as to their difficulty, Dr Bousted chose four gramar-based questions from an exam and asked adults to answer them. We put the questions into a quiz so you can see how well you get on: Loading... Dr Bousted told the Daily Mail: "I have no problem with a curriculum aiming high, but this is a standard which is unattainable for many adults, never mind children. Reuse content

The History of Christmas Crackers -- Christmas Customs and Traditions -- whychristmas?com Christmas crackers are a traditional Christmas favorite in the UK. They were first made in about 1845-1850 by a London sweet maker called Tom Smith. He had seen the French 'bon bon' sweets (almonds wrapped in pretty paper). He came back to London and tried selling sweets like that in England and also included a small motto or riddle in with the sweet. But they didn't sell very well. However, one night, while he was sitting in front of his log fire, he became very interested by the sparks and cracks coming from the fire. Crackers were originally called 'cosaques' and were thought to be named after the 'Cossack' soldiers who had a reputation for riding on their horses and firing guns into the air! When Tom died, his expanding cracker business was taken over by his three sons, Tom, Walter and Henry. The company built up a big range of 'themed' crackers. Cracker manufacturers also made large displays, such as horse drawn carriages and sleighs, for the big shops in London.

Royal baby: Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to baby girl | UK news The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge presented their new daughter to the world for the first time early on Saturday evening as they left hospital just 10 hours after the birth of their second child. The new Princess of Cambridge slept soundly cradled in her mother’s arms as the couple posed on the steps of the private Lindo wing at St Mary’s hospital in Paddington, London. Earlier, Prince George was the only visitor as he was taken to see his mother and be introduced to his baby sister, who was born at 8.34am, weighing 8lbs 3oz. Crowds cheered wildly as William, who had briefly returned to Kensington Palace to pick up his son, carried the infant prince up the hospital steps, with George, looking a little overawed, managing a small royal wave. The duke proclaimed the couple to be “very happy”. The duchess had been admitted to hospital in the “early stages of labour” at 6am and the duke attended the birth. “The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.
