Toby the Nosey Cat

The children have enjoyed listening to and discussing our NHS resource, Toby the Nosey Cat.  Toby is a nosey cat who wanders into someone’s home who is smoking cigarettes.  The story highlights the dangers of passive smoking and how smoke may make you feel.  The children spoke about, “nippy eyes”, “smelly”, “coughing” and “getting burnt”.  We also spoke about vape pens, lighters and matches and what we should do if we find these and their possible dangers.

Healthy Superhero has really appreciated your ideas on our healthy board this week, we especially enjoyed the comment that expressed the importance of “giggles” in relation to health.

Alcohol Awareness Week 2021

Meet Our Brand New SHANARRI Super Hero!

The children have settled into both the routine of the centre and building new relationships, with the guidance of Nurture Nerd.  We are now moving our focus onto healthy, with the support of our new SHANARRI superhero………Healthy Superhero!  A massive well done to Meah for designing and naming “Healthy Superhero”, who has been chosen to help us on our journey.

             

 We have explored dentists recently to highlight the importance of dental health and have reintroduced brushing our teeth in the centre again.  Due to COP 26 the children have been exploring how we are going to make the planet healthy too.  I would love to hear your ideas on what “healthy” means to you and your family…..is it mental health, physical, social, spiritual or intellectual?  I will have a board in the playground where you can share you ideas. Clean pens and sanitising wipes will be available.

             

We would love to share our healthy journey with everyone at home. We look forward to hearing your ideas

Our Wow Wall

Our Wow Wall has become a popular focal point within the centre.  The children have enjoyed sharing their achievements from home and it is a great conversation starter.  We are sending home more wow moment sheets this week, please enjoy discussing an achievement at home with your child and sharing it with us in the ECC.  There may be a target at home you have been encouraging or a new skill. The October holiday may be a perfect opportunity to work hard on something.  We look forward to hearing all about your achievements.
