Each week the parents have thoroughly benefitted from working alongside Kimberley, Nutritionist and Project Coordinator from Lanarkshire Community Food and Health Partnership and Jen, CLD Home Link Worker.

If you click on the link after the photographs you will be able to try some of the recipes at home.

“It’s been an amazing eye opening experience and I have learnt a lot to do with good eating”

“I have enjoyed the group because it is about different foods and their contents.  Also been helping with my health and weight.  Enjoyable welcoming and such a friendly group. Don’t want it to end”

” it has helped me learn about different foods.  Helped me to loose weight, 4 lbs so far.  I don’t want this group to end”

Early Level Curriculum

The children within the Early Level have demonstrated an interest in the people who help us within the local community such as police officers, firefighters, doctors, and dentists. Through the use of a range of books, and by using ICT equipment, the children are beginning to find out more information about the role these people have in helping us and keeping us safe. Following on from this, there has been lots of discussion about being helpful and responsible with the children carrying out tasks such as litter picking and ensuring they tidy their resources in the playroom when finished with them. The children continue to explore numbers, using them to count and sort and match by colour, size and type.

The children within the Early Level recently celebrated World Porridge Day where there was lots of discussion about helping others and being kind. The children tasted porridge for snack with various toppings which sparked an interest in familiar stories such as ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears.’ In the week leading up to World porridge day, the children re-enacted stories through role play and the use of puppets, created their own representations of their favourite characters, and experimented with porridge oats by adding them to playdough.

Today the children used their imaginations to begin to create their guardian of the forest mask, working alongside their high school buddies they gathered natural resources from the forest to create a giant head on the forest floor.

We finished off the session using the kelly kettle to make some delicious hot chocolate  – making some for our buddies too.

It was lovely to have a little visit from the local police officers Michael and James who popped down to see what we were doing and say hello. Kindly we shared our snack with Michael and invited him to visit the nursery after the October break.
