Together we can change young lives❗

Too many children have experienced the worry, dread, and hopelessness of living through COVID, and the current cost of living crisis is forcing many more families into poverty. Children In Need strives to end this anxiety in many children in the UK.

On November 11th, 1918 world war I was brought to a close after 4 years of continuous warfare. On this day, we pay our respects to all of those that gave their lives in service of our country.

Number confidence week is about supporting people on their journey to overcoming any anxieties with numbers!

It’s Bonfire Night! 🎆

Today is Diwali!

♻️ Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! ♻️

It is Recycle Week! Encouraging children to recycle is a way of teaching them about sustainability. Learning the importance of being sustainable shows them that the environment is important. 🌍

You can provide your child with opportunities to play in the mud by simply taking them outside after a rainy day to investigate muddy puddles.

The possibilities for mud play activities are practically unlimited! Here are some ideas:

👉 Mud Stew
👉 Coffee shop Mud Play
👉 Make mud castles and buildings.
👉 Paint and write with mud using a large paintbrush or sticks.
👉 Muddy Car Wash
👉 Make a mud racetrack or roads for toy cars.

Tuff Trays encourage group play, allowing numerous children at once to join the activity, playing alongside each other or together. Tuff trays provide great opportunities to build on social skills, confidence and speech and language development.

Have a think about how you could create the following tough trays:

Autumn Tuff Tray
Halloween Tuff Tray
Dinosaur Tuff Tray
Minibeast Tuff Tray
Animal Tuff Tray
Construction Tuff Tray
Summer Tuff Tray
Water Tuff Tray

How to create and use a story sack at home. 🏠📖

Story sacks are a great resource to use with children. They can extend a story and support children in various development areas. The sacks are often made up using a storybook and visual aids or activities based around a particular favourite story. The Gruffalo, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Room on the Broom are popular choices. Creating a story sack at home is a fun activity you can do to get your children engaged in reading. Children enjoy books and read more when they are interested in the stories.

⭐️ Gather your child's favourite book and a sizable cloth bag to start. A pillowcase or cotton grocery bag will work perfectly. Any of the following can be added to aid with story time:

A copy of the book

Story-related CD or DVD

Related non-fiction books or toys (stuffed animals are great)

Models of the story's characters and relative objects

Pencils and paper

⭐️ Then, make an activity card for the story to include in the story sack.

How to make an activity card:

1. Write down a list of activities you can do and topics you can discuss in connection to the story.

2. Discuss the story and the children's favourite parts.

3. Ask lots of open-ended questions about the characters and storyline.

4. Retell the story using the toys and props you have in the bag

Create your favourite character using playdough 😀

In the summer, it’s natural for children to want to go for a dip and splash in the pool. We have some pool safety tips to share, to ensure that all children are safe:

⭐️ Always teach children to never go in the pool unsupervised
⭐️ Ensure children are using inflatables, on their upper arms only. (However, this is not a substitute for supervision!)
⭐️ Even if a pool has a lifeguard, it’s still best to supervise all children in the pool

We’ve already experienced some crazy heatwaves this year, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees! Below are some tips for children (and adults) to stay safe in the sun

☀️ Avoid the sun when it’s at its strongest, in the UK this tends to be between 11 AM - 3 PM.
☀️ Using at least factor 30 on children is ideal, as children have more sensitive skin.
☀️ Wearing a hat… our choice of clothing is our first line of defence against the sun, and wearing a hat is perfect for protecting children’s heads.

Learn more about staying safe in the sun via the NHS website.
