Cycling Without Age

3 Comments

Today we had a very special visit from the ‘Cycling Without Age’ team. The children each had a turn on Gordon’s three-wheel cycle with a passenger cab at the front that is motor assisted. Gordon made this a fun experience shouting out directions, going fast then slow as well as asking the children to shout ‘stop’ and the ‘go’ when they were ready.

The Cycling Without Age team help people to get out into nature and regain social connection. Their work also helps to build bridges between generations and reinforces trust, respect and community. The volunteers and passengers alike enjoy the physical and emotional well-being benefits.

Football Sessions with Morton

Leave a comment

Children who attend a Friday afternoon have just completed a 6 week block of football lessons with Shaun from  Greenock Morton Football Club Community Arm. The children have learnt some different skills such as dribbling, catching and learning to stop a ball with their foot. The children really engaged with these sessions and thought Shaun was quite funny. The children were delighted to receive a certificate at the end of the block.

Morton run a football club/sessions called ‘Micro Morton’ aimed at 2-5 year olds. For more information or if your interested in signing your child up click the link: https://www.myclub-hub.com/organisations/277/hosted/programmes/1926

Potato Planting

Leave a comment

This week Donald (Abigail’s dad) visited the nursery to help her group prepare to grow their own potatoes. Donald spoke about how planting 1 potato (tubers) can grow up to 4 potatoes and can go towards a meal for your family. Children had their own individual bag to add soil and 3 potatoes each to grow all provided by Donald. We were learning that we need to face the potatoes with the ‘eyes’ (sprouts) facing up so that they will grow properly.  Donald also worked with some of the children to plant potatoes in our nursery garden bed. The children enjoyed using the trowels to cover the potatoes they had planted with lots of soil.

Let’s hope we have a successful batch!
