Enterprise Day

-My Achievements, Balta, Cara, Enterprise, Lamba, Special Events, Texa, , , , ,

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.

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.

Scotland’s Big Laugh

Health and Wellbeing, Special Events,

On Monday 27th January the children and staff from the Family Centre celebrated Scotland’s Big Laugh by hosting a day of action!

We invited everyone to come along to ‘Monday Mayhem Day’ with crazy hair ready for a fun and laughter filled day with jokes and face painting.

Laughter easily gets lost in our busy daily lives, yet it is essential for keeping us healthy, happy, healing pain and strengthening our relationships.

I hope our photo’s of the day make you laugh a little!
