Pyjama Day 25th March 2011

Thank you to all the staff and children who

took part in the pyjama day recently

to raise funds for the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Here are the pictures:

This guide is for the parents of children between birth and the age of six. Research studies have consistently
found that these early years of life are critical to the emotional and intellectual development of a child.
The aim of this guide, therefore, is to provide parents with information about the value of early childhood learning and the impact it can have on a child’s quality of life, their whole development and their future opportunities and experiences.

An Activity

 

for a

 

Rainy Day

Easy Playdough Recipe

• 1 cup of flour
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 cup water
• Paint / food colouring

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and add the water as required

It is similar to pastry in that you need to add enough water to bring the ingredients together but not too much or it will be sticky and hard to manage

Use your hands to make a ball and turn onto a floured surface

Kneed for a few minutes and you will be able to feel whether it is too wet or too dry

It should not have too many cracks / tears in it, if it does you may need a little more water

It should come easily off your hands, if not kneed in a little more flour

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week

Announcing the arrival of the new

'Turtle Bus'

We are delighted to have the 'Turtle Bus' which

seats six children at a time allowing us to get all

the children outside almost every day. Young or

old the bus is enjoyed by all ages and with safety

straps and two handles for staff to push and pull

it makes it a safe and easy way to get the

children out into the fresh air.

At Pugwash Bay there

is nothing we like more

than exploring! Look at

what we found last week

- a HUGE Dragonfly!!
