If you’ve not made friends with it yet, then you need to go and introduce yourself to the Collins4Parents website. It’s not only jam-packed with excellent books for every stage of your child’s learning, but they also offer a boat load of useful resources and practical guides to help both you and your resident student.

And right now Collins are offering a 40% discount on selected books for Back to School until 10 September 2017 when you use code BTS17 at www.collins.co.uk/Collins4Parents

Day FIVE in #BackToSchoolBooks fortnight – and this one’s just a perfect bundle for the 11 & 12yr olds as they move into the more serious study of high school.
We’ve moved away form primary school, of course, so there’s no more illustrated editions for young learners. Oh no. This time there’s the chance to win a full and proper version of the Collins School dictionary and the matching Thesaurus, plus that brilliant school atlas, a wall poster map of the UK and naturally the blankety-blank pack full of pens.

To enter, just use the box below – closing date is the 24th of August, and first name out of the cyber hat wins. Once you’ve entered, make sure you go back and enter the earlier days if you missed them – and stick around, we’re here all week ;)

Good Luck!

Back To School with Collins 4 | 11-12yrs

Author: Laura

A 70's child, I’ve been married for a Very Long Time, and appear to have made four children, and collected one large and useless dog along the way. I work, I have four children, I have a dog… ergo, I do not do dusting or ironing. I began LittleStuff back in (gulp) 2004. I like huge mugs of tea. And Coffee. And Cake. And a steaming cone of crispy fresh fluffy chips, smothered in salt and vinegar. #healthyeater When I grow up I am going to be quietly graceful, organised and wear lipstick every day. In the meantime I *may* have a slight butterfly-brain issue.
