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

 

Getting to Know You

+My Diary, Coffee and Chat, General Information,

Children begin to establish friendships with their peers when they come to nursery and as a Family Centre we want to promote this social aspect across the centre.

We are opening the doors of Café Isobel on Friday 9th September to facilitate parents meeting, chatting and coming together in friendship.

Staff will be on hand to facilitate this if required, but we are hoping a few parents might wish to nominate themselves as taking on a leading role in developing the ‘Mair Mates’ drop in.

Please speak to me if you think this is something you could support and help develop.

 

 

New Faces!
