SHOUT OUT for help!!

Cara, ,

In response to particular children’s recent experiences we are planning to develop a hospital role play area within the Cara playroom. If you have any resources you think may be useful please let us know.

We are also planning a new mud kitchen for our outdoor grounds for learning. Do you have any pots, pans, chopping boards, utensils, oven cloths, tubs or items we could use to resource this area?

In addition, we would like to resource our expressive arts modelling area with some really nice recycled materials. We have plenty of cardboard cereal boxes and yogurt tubs etc. however less ‘fancy’ items. We are looking for gift boxes, ribbon, shells, corks, sequins and sparkles, large beads, fabric flowers and scarves, pieces of felt and lace, bows and clips and all things nice! We would be delighted to recieve any of these items from you – so have a good clear out 🙂

Come and help on BIG DAY DAY!

Eco Schools, Special Events, , , , , , ,

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.


Outdoor Learning

Eco Schools, Health and Wellbeing, Inclement Weather,

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!
