Child Play & Development Sessions

A huge thanks to Lloyds TSB Foundation, who have provided us with the means to offer guided play sessions to support different aspects of play and development from November 2012.  We have run taster guided play sessions since Easter following our successful bid to the Shepshed and Hathern Community Forum.  We have explored aspects of communication, physical play and social interaction to support the Early Years Foundation recommendations.

We have deduced from attendance figures that most people will attend during our normal session times so we are now dedicating one session per week as a specific "child learning and development through guided play" session.  This will mean you have dedicated support from staff and volunteers who are familiar with the concepts we are promoting and will be able to discuss with you and offer suggestions of how to support your child through play.

The dates for this term from after the half term break are -

Wed 31st October - Halloween - creative and tactile play and activity session

Mon 5th November - Bonfire Night - creative and tactile play session

Mon 12th November - Physical play / Tummy time for the Under 2's

Wed 21st November - Treasure baskets / Transporting schema

Fri 30th November - Rotation Schema

Fri 7th December - Trajectory Schema

Wed 12th December - Christmas Party & Musical Bumps (Tickets £3 10 am - 3pm)

Wed 19th December - Enclosing / Enveloping Schema - wrapping presents!

All sessions except where indicated will be run from 9.30 - 12.00 and we ask for a contribution of £1 per family.  Some additional craft activities may incur a small charge to contribute to our costs.

Don't forget our Schema session on Friday 12th October which will introduce and explain all the schema we will then cover in these sessions!  1.00 - 3.00 pm.
