Fun Play Ideas
Through play, children learn to make sense of the world around them.
Play is important because it helps young children to develop a range of skills. These include physical development, language skills, creativity and problem solving.
This June edition of the Early Years Team newsletter provides seven fun activities for you to enjoy at home with your children. Click on “Go to this Sway” below to see their great ideas with simple instructions and wonderful photos to inspire you. We hope that your children have lots of fun while they learn.

Fun And Laughter
Skye’s family is delighted to see their video of the fun they had on their Sports Day:
“They both loved doing their sports day with lots of fun and laughter xx”
We loved watching it too. What an infectious laugh Skye has. Looked like a fun day. Thank you for sending in their video.
Isaac’s Letter
We are delighted that Isaac has now received his letter from Mrs. Irving and can see that this has put a lovely smile on his face. It’s great to keep in touch.
Messages For You
Some of our staff have been enjoying looking at your photos. Mrs. Irving left a message for Alfie:
“What a super Chef you are Alfie! Your pizza looks mighty tasty….it is making my tummy rumble.”
Mrs. Kirkpatrick loved the photos the children shared with their letters:
“Aw lovely photo Sophie x I’m glad you enjoyed reading your letter” and
“So pleased you liked your letter Seth x”
We all love to see your photos so please keep sending them to us. It’s great to see those happy smiles on your faces.
Questions And Answers
With future plans for school and Early Learning and Childcare settings outlined recently by the Scottish Government, we understand that this will be an anxious and uncertain time for parents and carers.
For that reason the Scottish government has produced a “Question and Answer” document to support you at this time. This document covers some of the key questions that you will have regarding the safe reopening of schools and Early Learning and Childcare settings. This information has been published on the Scottish Government’s Parent Club website which can be accessed through the link below. We hope that this will help to answer some of your questions.

Thank You Isaac
Mrs. Irving would like to share this message for Isaac W.:
“I was overwhelmed this morning with the kindness of Isaac and his Daddy as they dropped some delicious home baking at my door. What a generous and thoughtful act of kindness! Isaac, you have brought a huge smile to my face. Scott, Eve, Coll and I all say a big thank you!”
How lovely to hear about such kindness in our community. Isaac, your baking looks absolutely delicious and we are sure that Mrs. Irving and her family will thoroughly enjoy it. You should feel very proud of yourself for being so thoughtful and kind.
Kyla’s Super Work
Kyla has been very busy at home doing lots and lots of arts and crafts which she is thoroughly enjoying. She has loved creating her own designs to decorate these stones which we think are beautiful. Watch out for these special stones if you’re out with your family as Kyla is planning to hide them when she goes out a walk.
Thank you so much Kyla for sharing a photo of your super work which we love and for being so kind in leaving your stones for other girls and boys to find. We hope that everyone has fun looking for your beautiful stones.
Tadpole Update
Do you remember Isaac W.’s tadpoles? Well, we’ve had an update on them from his family:
“Not much change in size at the minute just in colour. Will send in another picture when the back legs start to form. Isaac is doing a great job of checking on them and feeding them. 🙂. “
We will look forward to further developments Isaac. His family also liked the photos of their craft day:
“Fab pics, both Quinn and Isaac had great fun (so did Dad). Isaac said his is a water horse so does not need legs 🙂 “
We love your water horse and we can understand your thinking about the legs Isaac.
Isaac’s family also wanted to leave a message about our “Rhyme of the Week” video and Mrs. Kirkpatrick’s care of our planter.
“Love it. Well doone Coll and Mrs Irving 🙂” and “Excellent job Mrs Kirkpatrick 🙂“.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us comments. We all love to hear from our families so it’s much appreciated.
Support For Parents And Carers
You may have heard Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland, mention yesterday that the Solihull Online programme is available free to parents and carers to help them learn what their children may be going through at this time and to help develop nurturing and supportive relationships.
We would like to share a link to information on this below and would also draw your attention to some helpful links to Solihull Approach leaflets on the right of this page under “Useful Reading”.

As it is Mental Health Awareness Week, we would also like to share these very useful posters which provide clear and simple advice to support families during these challenging times and hope that they help everyone to stay healthy.
