World Book Day

Thank you to all children and parents who participated in our World Book Day events this week as part of Literacy Week. Thank you for your kind contributions for the World Book Aid charity, much appreciated.

On Thursday, some of our morning session children went to Waitrose with Mrs. McConnell to purchase items discussed in our themed story – ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ Although some children were just a little disappointed we were not having the Caterpillar’s Saturday feast of chocolate cake and lollipops (!) everyone was delighted with the strawberry’s, Swiss cheese, green leafs and gherkins!

On Friday, all of our afternoon children went to ‘World book Day’ assembly for a special Alice In Wonderland dramatisation put on by senior IMS pupils. Children had a wonderful time at assembly and looked fantastic with all their favourite book character costumes on!

Next week will see the start of literacy week within the family centre. Our playrooms are always a literacy rich environment for children however next week we will be doing even more to help support children’s developing literacy skills.

On Thursday we will be hosting  a ‘Very Healthy Hungry Caterpillar’ snack for our children – using all the healthy snack elements form the story! Have you spotted the learning wall as it begins to emerge? Feel free to come and add your comments as you see children’s ideas and learning develop.

On Friday we ask that your child comes to nursery dressed as their favourite story book character……there will be an assembly on Friday afternoon.

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.
