IMS&FC MAIRtrade Fair

book swap

On 19 February, we will be holding MAIRtrade, a fairtrade and eco fair.

One of the stalls at the event will be a book swap, which will help to promote the concept of ‘reuse’.

Have a clear out of your book shelf and for every book your child brings in before 19 February, he/she will receive a token. At MAIRtrade, tokens can be swapped for other childrens’ books.

This is a great way to support reading and to keep our bookshelves fresh.

Children attending Isobel Mair Family Centre have access to a variety of outdoor spaces including the large playground with hill and forest area, pirate ship, sensory garden, outdoor atrium and adventure trail.

Children love to play and learn outdoors and the spaces we create and use can help to support children’s play in so many ways…….from helping children to be creative and expressive to helping support problem solving and risk analysis.

Our outdoor area is already really good, however…..we want it to be excellent!

For this to happen we need YOU to help!

Come along to our BIG DIG DAY on Tuesday 17th June.

Bring any unwanted seeds, bulbs, bedding plants or compost, spare fencing, unused patio slabs or gardening tools.

OR…..

Just bring yourself!

The more the merrier…..remember, this is your children’s play space!

Let’s make it the best it can be.

Help!

For those who were off …..we hope you enjoyed your mid term break!

I wonder if you can spot something new in our foyer as you return to the Family Centre on Wednesday!?

Please ensure your child is careful – a lot of work went into producing our ‘visitor’ and we would be so upset to see him damaged.

Miss McNeill will be working with the children to plan a new project…..I wonder what creation will come next!

Outdoor Learning

Outdoor play is a very important aspect of the curriculum and children at IMFC take part in daily outdoor activities.

Parents are kindly reminded to ALWAYS ensure children have access to warm/waterproof clothing i.e. boots and jacket/coat.

As we move into the colder season parent’s may also wish to provide a hat, scarf and gloves.

Please ensure all items are clearly marked with your child’s name.

Many Thanks!
