<\/a><\/p>\nThe project has grown and the children have had several engagements with the organisation:<\/p>\n
Sustainability<\/strong>
\nThey have been working with the care home to grow products. This project is in conjunction with another partner Dumbarton Environmental Trust. The project is helping the children to improve their understanding of science but also introducing a wide range of different career options.<\/p>\nRemembrance Day<\/strong>
\nThey joined the care home residents on Remembrance Day and the children made their own poppies to commemorate the occasion. This was another opportunity for the residents to discuss their own lives with our children.<\/p>\nWe have other experiences available to our children:<\/p>\n
Parental Employability Sessions<\/strong>
\nWe have encouraged our parents to become involved in our employability events and we have had several successful parental QA sessions. This allows the children to experience these skills from some familiar faces.<\/p>\nFruit Stall<\/strong>
\nThis project has allowed our children to learn employability skills in a real-life context. The children are involved in all aspects of the enterprise activity and have had hands on experience in the following:<\/p>\nHealth and hygiene
\nMoney handling
\nStock control<\/p>\n
They also produce a survey on what products are selling the best and plan their purchases accordingly.<\/p>\n
Community Police Visit<\/strong>
\nThe children had a visit from the community police, this was another opportunity to showcase a positive role model . They had a QA session and had the opportunity to ask a wide range of diverse questions.<\/p>\n“The effective incorporation of simple counting, matching and comparison tasks into the conversation encouraged early numeracy skills and the reciprocal question and answers and new vocabulary in context developed early literacy skills for our children in a real and meaningful way. Our childen have been extremely engaged during visits to Quayside with older residents and we have recognised that often adults can underestimate children\u2019s abilities in terms of empathy and awareness. We have had statements from Quayside about increased motivation, interest and engagement by some residents and there really is an observable connection between the regular visitors. Promoting the world of work is allowing our children to access early knowledge of the wide range of different career pathways. We are building on our local partners and will continue to actively promote the positive impact of early introduction to the world of work” Mary Gallacher, <\/strong>Head Teacher<\/strong><\/p>\nNext Steps<\/strong>
\nWe will continue to work\u00a0with local partners and\u00a0strengthen links with the local community.<\/p>\n\u201cWe have noticed a surge of energy and increase in physical activity for some of our residents when they know the children will be visiting\u201d Anne from Quayside<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Extended day centre within Yoker area of North West Glasgow.
