Cardboard Box Storytellers

Our Modern Apprentice – Miss Colette Graham has been liaising with Hugh Graham from the Adult and Family Learning Service.  Hugh has supported the Family Centre in the past during Bookbug week and we are delighted that Hugh has agreed to come along to the Family Centre for our launch of Cardboard Box Storytellers.

Cardboard Box Storytellers are based in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire. They write, make and tell stories that fit neatly into different sized cardboard boxes.

Please come along to the Family Centre door; the children will make their way to the Cara playroom and parents, family and friends will be escorted along to the MOD.

Some parent’s have asked how many family members are allowed to attend tonight. We have use of IMS MOD (gym hall) tonight therefore we are not required to place a limit on numbers attending.

We look forward to seeing you tonight and joining you in celebrating your child’s achievements.

Enterprise Day

As you will know, the children will be hosting an  Enterprise Day on Friday 2nd May.

We ask that all parents/carers come along to support this event. The children have put a great deal of time and effort into their artwork and they are continuing to learn about art and a variety of artists.

Please pop along to the family centre at a time that suits you. Staff and children will be available throughout the day to escort you along to our ‘Gallery’ – you can have a look at the children’s art work and perhaps purchase your own child’s piece of art!

Stay for a cup of tea, coffee or juice and have a chat!

We look forward to seeing you there.

CBeebies Needs You!

 

The lovely folk at CBeebies have been in touch with staff at IMS&FC to let us know they are planning to make a brand new series for CBeebies called My Pet and Me.

 The programme will focus on how a child cares for and interacts with their pet. With this in mind, staff at CBeebies are very interested in speaking to parents who, along with their child, may like to get involved in the programme. 

BBC are looking for confident, chatty and outgoing children aged 4 – 6 years who would like to take part.

The series will feature a variety of animals and CBeebies are interested to hear from families with all kinds of pets, whether that be dogs, cats, hamsters, reptiles or ponies!

 No animal too big, too small or too hairy!

 Would you like to find out more?

 Please email a little bit about your child and pet to: mypetandme@bbc.co.uk or call and leave a message on 0141 422 6428.

 

Parent Consultation Meetings

Most parent’s of children in the red group and the yellow group have now had their parent consultation meeting.

Blue group consultations will be held on Friday 7th June.

If any parent has not yet had their consultation meeting, please speak with your child’s key worker to ensure a mutually agreeable time can be allocated.

We hope you have enjoyed hearing about your child’s learning within the family centre.

Please complete the parent feedback form following the consultations and return to us along with your child’s feedback form. Your feedback is important to us; we use your/your child’s feedback  to further develop and improve the service we offer within our centre.
