SEAGATE CHURCH TROON
Autumn/Winter 2016
The women
and children have enjoyed a varied range of activities and opportunities over
the last two terms.
There has
been a turnaround in numbers with some of the older children now accessing
local nursery provision in Troon, Prestwick and Ayr. We have welcomed 5 new babies to the group
who are settling into the Seagate crèche with their older siblings.
The children
have enjoyed playing and learning in the crèche, while their mums get their
heads down to focus on their English language skills. This term we introduced literacy through
topics such as time, weather, food and drink and looked at healthy eating using
the eatwell plate.
To encourage
community integration we arranged trips to the local library for Bookbug
sessions.
Parent and
child together crafty sessions allow the mums to have fun and learn together
with their children.
In the run
up to Christmas, we all had a messy time making colourful Christmas crackers
and stockings which were hung on the wall of the church. Fruit Santa hats and reindeer biscuits added
to the festive theme. Pastor of Seagate
Church, Richard Woods accompanied us on the guitar and the families enjoyed
singing along to some of the more popular children’s songs. Jingle Bells, the firm favourite.
We are
delighted to announce our new joint partnership with the CEMVO (Council of
Ethnic Minority Voluntary Sector Organisations) Scotland. Looking forward to 2017, we will be working
with Parveen Khan, the Health and Social Care Officer, to develop exciting new
opportunities for this group.
