Some of the children brought their favourite stories to share with the residents of Rosehall Care Home where they spent time reading to them, introduced them to Bookbug and sang their favourite nursery rhymes.  Katie Moo appeared to be a particular favourite where the residents enjoyed hearing the scots dialect throughout the story.

 

The children visited the Nature Park where they listened to familiar stories and brought them to life within their natural surroundings. The Bookbug enjoyed his experience in the forest too.

                                        

 

The children had great fun while taking part in a pyjama party at the Healthy Living Centre.  The children listened to different stories as well as taking part in a variety of games and songs.

We even had a visit from Bookbug!

 

 

The children enjoyed a healthy snack at the local Café accompanied by a special friend from one of their favourite stories “The Tiger Who Came to Tea”

They even shared their snack with Tiger while listening to the story.

 

 

The aim of the Jenny and the Bear poem is to raise awareness of the dangers of second hand smoke to children and more importantly their parents and carers.  Jenny and the Bear is a poem of a young girl and her teddy who are exposed to second hand smoke.  Over the next few weeks Nicola will be working with a small group of children using this resource to develop their understanding

However we recognise that you may also like to have a copy of the poem which was adapted by, Rosie our Kodaly tutor.

The link will take you to a pdf publication of the poem which you can share with your child.

We have also attached the completed results of the baseline questionnaire taken in the early level cloakroom in April 2015.

 Jenny and the Bear

Jenny has a special bear, she takes him everywhere.

One day when they were out with mum, they all got quite a scare.

It rained and poured and they got wet, it really was bad luck.

When they got home, mum made hot drinks to help them all warm up.

Mummy lit a cigarette and had it with her tea.

The next day they both felt sick, the doctor they did see.

He said smoking hurts our lungs, and avoid if it we could.

“Please smoke outside” is what he said to mum, who said she would.

Take 7 steps from your back door and keep the smoke out there.

Now Jenny and her bear want us to know that young lungs need clean air.
