Visits, Events/Activities for Children
*
These are a sample of the activities we provide for the children (these vary each year).
*
Button: Jo JinglesButton: Jo JinglesAt our Jo Jingles sessions, children can play percussion instruments expressively, sing songs, hold a tune and find the rhythm to move and dance to. Most importantly, the children have lots of fun and everybody joins in.
*
Special Activities
*
MusicVarious events take place throughout the year including Christmas parties, fancy dress and performances from magicians and musicians from the Ulster Orchestra. This year we hope to include a visiting artist into our programme.
The school photographer comes every year to take individual and class photographs.
GreenmountLast year parents,staff and children rounded off the year with a very enjoyable summer walk around Greenmount Agricultural College.
*
Helping Others
*
We have had visits from NSPCC, Help the Aged, and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
Every year we send shoe boxes to Romania, and have a sponsored tricycle ride.
Last year we donated a substantial amount of the money raised to the Darfur appeal.
*
Jobs people do
*
Norman McBride NEELB Road Safety OfficerWe arrange as many visits as possible from the police, ambulance ,fire services and NEELB Road Safety Officer and encourage any parents with interesting jobs to volunteer their services also! Last year several parents brought lambs into school and we had a visit from a vet and a speech therapist. These visits are so important as they not only link home with school but reinforce the work we do in nursery school.
*
Nature
*
HedgehogsVanessa and Nigel from Happy Hedgehog Rescue visit the nursery every year which allows the children the opportunity to see and touch these wonderful little creatures.
