Pyjama Party \u2013 November 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year as a school we hosted a pyjama night in the Rosemount Flexi-centre on school grounds. It was aimed at P1 and P2 children and parents to encourage a good night-time routine. The format was groups of children and a parent\/carer go round stations led by teachers in the school who can give ideas of activities that can be done with little\/no resources to promote home learning and parent child bonding as part of a bedtime routine. Following this, a children\u2019s book is read while enjoying a hot chocolate and then the children go home to go straight to bed. To give an element of fun, the children are encouraged to turn up in their pyjamas.<\/p>\n

This year it was hosted again in the Rosemount Flexi-centre on the 13th<\/sup> November. It was a very cold night but we were delighted to see over 30 parents and carers join us!<\/p>\n

This year the teaching stations were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Finger puppets: led by Mr Thomson, the children and their carers made some basic finger puppets which could be used imaginatively or to support the telling of a story.<\/li>\n
  2. Peer Massage: led by Miss Bonner, she shared her training to demonstrate how she incorporates peer massage into her classroom and how it could be done at home.<\/li>\n
  3. Senses: led by Miss Hughes, this game encouraged talking and listening while sharing what they can see, hear etc. with a parent\/carer<\/li>\n
  4. Playing with numbers: led by Mr Steer, this activity showed how number games can be made with plain paper and pencils\/pen and how games like \u2018Guess my number\u2019 can encourage number practise in a fun way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Finally, Mrs McShane read a story to everyone while they enjoyed a hot chocolate. Thanks to Stretch a Nickel Foundation who we work closely with in school and helped coordinate the event, the children all received a new children\u2019s book as well to take home.<\/p>\n

    Many thanks to all parents\/carers and children who attended, the Stretch a Nickel Foundation, and to the Rosemount Centre for their help with organising this brilliant event.<\/p>\n
