Rise & Shine Preschool Newsletter

Posted on by

Welcome to the summer edition of the RISE NI NHSCT Preschool newsletter! It’s hard to believe that we are coming towards the end of the school year and that the summer holidays are almost here. The ‘holidays’ will hopefully feel a bit more ‘normal’ this year, as COVID restrictions in the community have relaxed, meaning we are all able to spend more time with family and friends… not to mention travel to places close to home and further afield! No matter how you spend the ‘holidays’, one thing is certain, July and August will fly by and you will soon be celebrating your little one’s first day at Primary School! This edition of RISE & Shine will focus on what you, as parents/carers/families can do to promote your child’s readiness for school over the summer months. We hope you have an action packed and fun-filled summer trying out some of our suggested activities.

Look, Say, Sing Play: The NSPCC’s Behaviour Change Campaign

Tuesday 14th June 2022, 9.30 – 11.00 am

Attendees will be briefed on the NSPCC’s ‘Look, Say, Sing, Play’ (LSSP) behaviour change campaign, ahead of the launch in Northern Ireland later this year. LSSP is focused on improving interactions between parents and their babies, and is based on the serve and return metaphor, Alberta Family Wellness Project.

The seminar will provide the opportunity to hear about the research behind the campaign, the LSSP resources, activity posters, flashcards, and details on the learning emerging from the process evaluation which is being undertaken by the Institute of Health Visiting and the School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences at Newcastle University (report to be published summer 2022).

For further information, please see the attached flyer.

To register, please contact ross.walmsley@nspcc.org.uk with attendee name, job title and email address. A Zoom link will follow.
