Our Playgroup Leader has just completed a 6 week Eager and Able to learn training Programme with Early Years the Organisation for young Children.

Today, with support from our Quality Mentor Nuala Mc Evoy, we held a parents workshop to discuss the research behind the EAL Programme and how easily it can be experienced in the home environment.
We explored some of the 8 developmental play experiences which can be encouraged at home and discussed the benefits and the fan of possible learning linked to each one.
Thank you to the parents for taking part in our workshop, Nuala for sharing her experience and love of EAL and to Donna for her eagerness to embed EAL experiences in Rainbow in partnership with her fellow staff, the children and their parents with the end goal to encourage young children to grow and become Eager and Able to Learn.

Promoting teaching experience in partnership with our talented parents

We recently had been exploring Chinese New Year which progressed to the children exploring sports of varies backgrounds so Jessica's Dad Andrew kindly offered to come in and share his wealth of knowledge and experience of Taekwondo and Karate.

Andrew firstly showed the children his sparring mitts, boxing gloves and belts and what they were for and how they were used, he then went on to show the children some Taekwondo patterns from white belt level with how to do some directional punching moves , which the children were fully engaged and focused on learning how to follow and put into sequence .

Lastly the children got to try on Andrew's Taekwondo Medal which he won last year at his Taekwondo World Championship in Glasgow , which includes lots of competitors from around the world, which they were amazed by.

Congratulations again Andrew on your win and Thank you kindly for providing such a positive experience for our children.

Andrew recommends Omagh Leisure Centre for Taekwondo πŸ₯Š
And
The Station Centre for Karate πŸ₯‹
For children wanting to enrol in classes, Check them out online , you won't be disappointed.
