Mind full or Mindful?

Thank you to all the parents, carers and staff who gave up their time to attend last nights Mind full or Mindful? event hosted by Edward Reid.

It was great to listen to Edward and how mindfulness can help us in so many ways.  Each morning on Instagram Edward posts a little mindful moment which you can follow @mredwardreid.

A total of £  47  was raised on the night for Chris’s House.  With Donation buckets being available throughout next week to add to this total.

Almost all staff have now completed the five day foundation Mindfulness Programme with DobeMindful and are ready to implement this approach into  daily practice with children. 

We hope that you enjoyed the contents of the Mindful Bag which was gifted on the  evening which was lovingly put together with you in mind.

Remember, next week there is something on every day for you to participate in.  We do hope as many parents/carers join Louise from DobeMindful to find out first hand how you too can access the DobeMindful online course bespoke for parents and carers.

Wow what a quick term…..

We cannot believe how quickly this term has flown by and the learning which has taken place. Each day the children have added something new to their learning. We have found that it’s so much quicker to share your child learning daily on TWITTER, please follow us on @CentreShotts.

The Three Read Approach to Literacy home link resources have continued to be a resounding success, with parents and children alike sharing their engagement in the stories being read at home.

Loose parts have inspired many of the children to be creative, to work cooperatively and share their learning with others.

Many of the children have taken part in weekly Langueland sessions facilitated by Isabel.  These groups are specifically designed to support the children’s attention and listening skills.  If you would like to find out more about these sessions then please speak to Isabel direct.

Its lovely to observe so many children who want to take their learning into the kitchen to bake and cook.  These are life long skills which will continue with them as they grown and develop.

Wow, the success of the family Bookbug sessions have been outstanding with over 90% attendance throughout since the beginning of term in all of the groups.

Nurture Nature at the Shotts Nature Park, we hope that you have been following their adventures on TWITTER.   A local gentleman Mr George King has been making some beautiful fairy doors and houses and placing them strategically throughout the park.  Than k you Mr King.

And finally, all the children have been issued with a Sponsor form, and an icon of rhymes for you to learn them at home for the Sponsored Rhyme Event on Tuesday 23rd October 2018. Parents, carers and grandparents are welcome to come along at 11.15 am and 3.15 pm to hear the children recite the rhymes.  All donations received will go directly to the nursery.

We hope to see you all at the Mind full or mindful? event with Edward Reid on Tuesday 23rd October at 7 pm – 8.30 pm in Calderhead High School this is an adult only, ticketed event. If you need tickets please speak directly to your child’s key worker.  This is just the beginning of our community events as we continue to put nurture and relationships at the heart of our work with children and families.

We hope that you have a lovely October holiday, relax and enjoy some autumn fun.

Health, wellbeing and happiness…….. Mind full or Mindfulness.?
