Let’s Play
A coffee and cake date has been set for Thursday 29th March for any parents who may be interested in coming along to our new ‘Let’s Play’ programme.
Let’s Play is as it reads…..all about play and the importance of playing with your child.
For parents that are interested, I will be following up with a play session over the Easter holidays. This will be a half day play session on Friday 6th April, no costs are involved and you can bring along older or younger siblings!
In July, I will be offering three more no cost play sessions, again siblings are welcome. On these sessions, parents spend time participating in fun and interactive workshops whilst the children (including siblings of any age) play in the playroom/outdoor area before joining together for half hour play at the end of the session.
There are information leaflets on the ‘PoPP’ table in the foyer – please help yourself and speak to me if you are interested.

Bring a homemade bonnet for our parade and to enter our competition.
This is taking place on the same day as our Easter Craft Day where you are welcome to stay and join in with some Easter crafting.

Celebrating Who We Are Week
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
All staff at Isobel Mair Family Centre would just like to say a
HUGE ‘Thank You’
for your wonderful support of our
‘Celebrating Who We Are’ week.
So far we have raised a total of just over £350, however we still have more bags and ‘shrinkie’ key rings to make and sell so the grand total will increase, with every penny donated to our three named charities.
Thank you for your support.
If you have not yet received your pre-ordered pens, trolley tokens and wrist bands – please let us know as we have a few surplus in the office. In addition, if you have not had the opportunity to purchase your child’s hand made reusable bag and/or shrinkie key ring – please let us know!
‘Celebrating Who We Are’ Week
We are celebrating who we are. Blue eyes or Brown eyes? Long or short hair? Downs syndrome? Epilepsy? Autism? What ever it is that makes us unique we will be celebrating it this week.
The three charities we will be supporting this year include Downs Syndrome Scotland, Epilepsy Awareness and Autism Awareness. Thank you in advance for all your help to raise funds for these charities. Many of you have already placed orders for trolley tokens, pens and wrist bands to support these charities.
In addition to this we are hosting three special themed days:
Wed 21st March
Lots of Socks Day for Downs Syndrome Scotland – wear LOTS of socks, bright socks, odd socks, socks on your head….whatever you fancy!! Bring a donation to add to the bucket!
The children are also invited to bring in an ‘odd sock’ to make a sock puppet with Colette in Cara playroom
More info at: https://worlddownsyndromeday.org/lots-of-socks
Thurs 22nd March
Epilepsy Awareness – Wear purple! Purple trousers, purple top, purple ribbon, purple socks! Whatever you fancy!! Bring a donation to add to the bucket!
Friday 23rd March
Autism awareness – Wear a Onesie Day! A superhero onesie, a shortie onesie, any kind of onesie! Whatever you fancy!! Bring a donation to add to the bucket!
To make our ‘Celebrating Who We Are’ week even more special the children have been busy making a variety of themed items for you to purchase with all proceeds donated to the three charities. Please come along with your purses and wallets at the ready to ensure purchases can be made, raising awareness of these charities and the excellent work they do.
If your child attends the nursery on the Family Centre bus – do not worry, you won’t miss out! If you wish to purchase the items your child has made please give money to the bus escort in a sealed envelope marked with your child’s name.
We appreciate your support of our charity fundraising! Many thanks to all who have placed orders already and many thanks for your participation.
