Flying Start @ Redruth are busy baking!

/in

Flying Start @ Redruth are really enjoying their weekly cooking club ran by Faz their cook!

Each week the children participate in understanding the recipe, identifying ingredients, weighing and measuring, mixing, chopping, stirring, dividing and lots more hands on skills!

This is an exciting way for the children to practice their fine motor skills, understanding and listening and attention.

Flying Start Nursery Children Learn About Their Mental Health…

/in , , ,

Flying Start Nurseries have raised awareness of Mental Health on World Mental Health Day 10/10/14!

The children across all of the nurseries have been learning about their Mental Health and how they can look after it.

Although only in the Early Years the children aged 2-5 years were aware of their emotions, common feelings

remembered were happy sad and cross!

The children were then able to use their emotions to match to photographs of facial expressions, make expressions in

the mirror, identify with flashcards and then use in circle times to discuss.

Listening, asking and responding to questions such as:

‘What makes you happy?’ ‘Does______ make you cross?’ ‘How do I know you are happy?’

‘What happens if you’re sad?’

Activities with arts and crafts helped the children to explore thoughts and feelings…

It is important you talk to your children about their emotions, ensure they are aware what makes them happy or sad or any other emotion they can identify with. With older toddler and preschool children extend this by exploring how they manage their own feelings and that they know where they can get support or praise! 

We will continue in the next half term to help children understand their mental health appropriate to their age and development.

redruth rugby

 

Flying Start @ Redruth have had a recent visitor from the Cornish Pirates rugby team.

The rugby player came along to teach the children about the sport he loves, the rules to play, the equipment and of course a go at the skills!

The children and staff tried on scrum hats and learnt that players wear rugby boots with studs and some even wear shoulder pads to help keep their shoulders and upper body cushioned from the tackles!

The children also learnt about the local rugby teams … parents Redruth also have a mini rugby section if your young girls or boys want to learn ball skills, team work and have lots of exercise!
