Edinbarnet held their first Stay, Play and Eat session on Thursday the 27th of October.
Our Stay, Play and Eat model provides our parents with opportunities to play with their children on a one to one basis. We offer a creche facility for children within the ages of 0-16. Our creche facility is set up by an outside agency. This ensures that our parents are confident in knowing that their children are in good hands and frees up our parents to spend one to one time with their children.
We then support our parents in playing with their children and show them a range of activities that they can do with their children at home to enhance the learning taking place in class. This lasts for approximately an hour and then the parents collect their children from the creche and we go and have dinner together.
Our first block of Stay, Play and Eat is aimed at Primary 1 and 2 children. We hope to open this up to the whole school in the future.
Our first session went down a treat with both parent and children. We spent time discussing reading strategies and then explored these through a range of active activities. We then ended our evening with a feast provided by McMonagles of Pizza, chips and Ice Blasts!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone again this week!
