We’re going on an Easter Bunny Hunt……..we’re going to find a big one
What’s on week beginning 29th January 2018
After extensive consultation with the children we have now reviewed the indoor learning environment and created spaces for the children to develop their curiosity and inquiry skills. We hope that you have noticed the changes and are able to talk to your child about them. This week we will update the BLOG with lots of photographs sharing the learning to date.
Elaine has returned to Interventions and Inclusions within Kildonan Street for 4 weeks to finalise the roll out of the Sid and Shinarri toolkit. Joining our team whilst Elaine is away is Charlene who’s substantive post is within Craigneuk Family Learning Centre.

Welcome to the beginning of a new term
We hope that you all have had a lovey summer holiday and managed to get some sunshine no matter where you were.
Remember this session all the children will be issued with their own nursery bag to keep their personal belongings. Each bag is labelled clearly with a picture of each child making it easier for them to identify.
Due to the reduced caretaking/ cleaning hours allocated to the centre, in the interest of safety and security the main doors will not be opened until 8.40 am or 9 am then again at 1 pm. We would ask that you do not arrive prior to these times as it may result in you and your child waiting outdoors in incremental weather.
The centre would like to welcome Mairi Byrne and Yvonne McGirth who has joined the staff team as Additional Support Needs Assistants, Mairi will be contracted to 25 hrs and Yvonne 35 hrs. Early learning practitioner Shannon Brown will be returning two afternoons per week with Amy McIntyre working five afternoons.
The Newsletter is both available as an attachment and on a paper copy from your child’s key worker.
