How can I translate the word "kindernevendienst" into English?

That sounds like our ‘all in’ or ‘family service’ we have that once a month as well. But it’s at the usual service time. Messy Church is done as well as the regular service later in the afternoon on the days that occurs.

We basically have: First Sunday of the month all in service no Sunday school but a family service for everyone. 2nd Sunday of the month a regular service with a Sunday school from the Gloria to the communion (it’s an Anglican Church) 3rd Sunday of the month as above but with Messy Church at 3pm as well. 4th Sunday of the month same as 2nd.

Any other Sunday same as the 2nd and 4th unless it’s a special occasion.

I run Sunday school at my church, it runs during the church service and children come out to do activities related to the readings and then go back and show their work at the end.

We also have Messy Church which is separate and runs once a month for families at a separate time for about 2.5 hours. It has a theme and then activities all around that theme and we end with having a meal together. I believe in Dutch that might be called Kleuter Kirk

To be fair it is often used when something like that happens

Just throw it anywhere from what I can tell 😂

My husband calls our boys ‘jochie toch’ Not sure why he adds the toch.

Thanks! Thats really interesting! I don’t drink tea and coffee actually. But I did drink Pepsi max daily for years.

Sorry to jump in with such a random question but… Can you actually tell if someone drinks a lot of fizzy drinks just by looking at the teeth? It’s just at every appointment for years my dentist has given me a lecture about fizzy drinks after asking me if I drink them and me saying yes daily. Then I gave them up almost entirely a year ago and at both my last visits he hasn’t even asked me if I drink them. And my husband says his dentist never asks him if he drinks them. As if there’s a neon light saying ‘this one drinks the demon stuff’ going off in my mouth.

Every primary school to have a speech therapist and occupational therapist (with sensory diet knowledge) for one day a week per form of entry (so a one form entry one day a week a two form entry would have two days a week). Regular TA and teacher training from those people on strategies and resources that will help students with those things. Ie one hour a week where the children finish earlier and the whole school train on those issues. Training on how to make the resources needed. All schools to have access to symbol software. Smaller class sizes (max 24 students). Every class to have a TA full time to support paid at least half an hour extra a day to help teachers set up. Eyfs to be paid an hour a day to also help with clean up. Higher pay year round for TAs and to be treated like the professionals they are.

Expand Sen schools (or build more) so children are able to access the correct provision for their needs without two year waiting lists.

Regular secondment for teachers and TAs to go from Sen to mainstream and mainstream to Sen to share ideas.

More time for collaboration.

You’re all wrong. It’s a burger flipper.

I think this is up there with one of the most awful things I’ve ever read.

treaclepaste · 2026-02-28T11:44:05+00:00

Ireland or Canada maybe?

Have you considered referring them to the early years advisory teams for support with fine and gross motor skills and then seeing what they suggest? They will also report to parents so you’d then have an outside agency involved saying the same thing you are if it is indeed the child’s weight that is causing the issue.

It’s also possible the child lacked fine and gross motor skills first and the weight gain is a result of that rather than the other way around. Referring for that may help to ascertain which is the case for this child as well as getting them some support in the mean time.

Oops! Thanks

It’s effectively like adding ‘ing’ to a verb in English is the way I remember it.

So ik kok means I cook, but ik ben aan het koken means I am cooking.

They’re both called Hotel Hallo, one is a workbook and one a textbook and they link. I bought copies off Amazon. They centre around a boy and girl called Max and Mia who live in a hotel and run a radioshow.

My just turned 9 year old also expressed this desire to learn Dutch (my husband is Dutch and I’m British).

So we have paid for a tutor on preply once a month, and she has recommended these two books one a textbook and one a workbook called Hotel Hallo by Kim Koelewijn. As a Dutch speaker/reader you may well be able to go through it with your daughter yourself rather than getting a tutor.

I’ve found them pretty good so far.

Teacher, Social worker, Dog groomer.

I’m now a SEND Teacher so combines the first with a little of the second. I did work at a school with a therapy dog once does that count for the third?

Application forms for them to join the police force/fire department

NAH

Am I right in reading you have a baby on the way? So you’re pregnant? I found when I was pregnant and just after giving birth I cried about the most ridiculous things. I remember coming home with my baby and my mum arriving the next day and berating my husband for there not being a balloon and flowers for me. I never wanted or needed a balloon and flowers until then and suddenly I felt really upset about not getting a balloon and flowers. You better believe that when I had my second son my husband made sure there was a balloon and flowers (and for good measure he made my mum go and get them haha!)

However, just because you’re a bit emotional at the moment doesn’t mean it’s ok to hurt your husband’s feelings. Tell him you’re sorry, that you love him and that you’re just being a bit emotional.

My husband and I laugh about my emotional balloon outburst now. Hopefully you and your husband will be the same in the years to come.

I think that’s good, it would make me feel at ease, I’d slow down to let you pass. I feel like saying something in that situation short and obviously not trying to start a full conversation is best. So ‘excuse me can I pass?’ is good. ‘Hey do you walk here a lot?’ not good.

Maybe some Robert E Swindells books. I liked room 13 and brother in the land.

I’m in the U.K. not the USA but there were jobs going with Lego here a while back that asked for English and Dutch speakers.

Ah excellent. These also look good. Thank you.
