FUN IDEAS TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN BUSY

 













Hi All

In these challenging times with many people having young children at home I thought I would repost these blogs and write some new ones. Hopefully they will help parents educate and have fun with their children. We will get through this better if we work as a community. If you have any questions or need advice please contact me. 
As my mum used to say "This too will pass" Stay safe and Much Love xx

Today's blog is actually not a blog but instead a list of some good ideas and their links. I hope they help.

Why not makes scones with your children this weekend? 
They are really easy and fun to make and the whole family can enjoy them at teatime.
Cooking is great fun but also uses English (following instructions) and Maths ( weighing, measuring and ratios.) 
Happy Cooking!

  Newborn Baby Special Hi All I know it has been a long time since I blogged but the birth of our first grandchild has inspired me to reopen the dialogue. Newborns are tiny, but they are also eager to learn from the moment they are born. Their senses are heightened as they suddenly get full access to a wide variety of new sensations through sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell.

These images can be in the form of mobiles, activity mats, soft books, toys or simple pictures.

  Early Days Hi, seeing a newborn reminds me of the many babies I have met both personally and through my work in Early Years Settings. Through study and observation certain common threads have developed. I thought they may be useful for the many new parents out there ,so I thought I would share them. Being parents for the first time can be very challenging. Babies, unlike washing machines, do not come with a manual and a one size fits all approach does not work either. As new parents you will have likely gone through an exhausting birth, your hormones will be all over the place, and that is both parents, as well as the physiological and emotional changes for new mums, dads will have also experienced a gambit of mixed emotions such as stress, excitement, fear, euphoria and the weight of responsibility that comes when you become a parent.

HAPPY LESSONS PART 1 Practical Educational and Life Advice for Parents of Young Children  HAPPY LESSONS? The idea for this blog started while I was sitting chilling in the dappled sunshine of my garden. As the idea came into my mind I began to smile and I knew I had to grasp the opportunity. The reason why it brought a smile to my face was hope! Up until 6 months ago I was a fun and I like to believe effective full time Primary Teacher and Key Stage 1 Leader, but sadly due to chronic ill health I could no longer follow my passion. I felt I had lost an amazing opportunity to share my knowledge and exchange ideas, but then I realised there are lots of different learning platforms and lots of different life lessons to be shared. HOW CAN I HELP? I hope through this blog I can give parents a personal toolbox to help their young children reach their full potential and be happy individuals. This blog will over time review 6 areas vital for early child development both acade
