Welly Waddle

We had a FANTASTIC waddle on Friday morning and again on Friday afternoon. We asked for your views and listened by hosting two waddles! One in Eastwood Park for those who preferred a more woodland waddle and one in and around the school and family centre for those who preferred a local waddle! The children certainly enjoyed their waddle – or as they renamed it – their ‘Wibble Wobble Welly Waddle!’ Some excellent literacy with your alliteration boys and girls!

We are now gathering in sponsor money following our waddle. Some parents have asked if it is okay to make a donation rather than sponsorship. This is completely fine and we are glad of all donations. All money raised from this event will go into our Toy Fund to help cover the costs of Christmas i.e. Nativity costumes, cost of children’s gifts etc!

Welly Waddle

A letter went out recently asking for you to share your views on the best way to host our upcoming sponsored Welly Waddle fundraiser.

From the 68 letters than went out to parents, we had a total of 15 return slips with mixed responses.

6 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place at Eastwood Park and were happy to meet there.

4 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place in and around Isobel Mair School and Family Centre grounds.

3 parents said they would love to attend but had no preference to where the waddle takes place.

2 parents said they did not want to attend and therefore did not state where to waddle.

Following some discussion with staff it has been decided that we will offer both waddles!

Colette and Joanne or Donna will be at the car park at Eastwood Park at 10.30am and again at 2pm to meet children and parents ready for the park waddle. If you decide to waddle in the park you MUST stay with your child for the duration. Please bring along a small snack for your child too. Siblings and other family members are welcome to waddle along too!

All other staff will be waddling in and around the school and family centre grounds. Please come along and join us if you can!

Rainy Play

 

Happy Halloween

Our children had a fantastic time participating in some traditional games such as ‘dooking’ for apples this Halloween. Some children opted to use a fork and some preferred to dook! Whatever the method all children enjoyed a healthy Halloween snack apple. Thank you to all for putting in so much effort – the Halloween Parade looked great!

 

 

Staff Change

Letters have been sent out to all parent’s to inform of a recent staff change.

Miss Linsay Thomson, key worker of the Red Group in Cara Playroom was recently interviewed for an extended contract as Child Development Officer in Isobel Mair School. Linsay was offered and has since accepted this post and will be leaving the Family Centre.

As from 15th August, Miss Melissa Donaghy (soon to be Mrs Frame) will take on the role of CDO in Cara and will become the new key worker to the Red Group.

We wish both Linsay and Melissa every success in their new posts.
