Belmont Playcare

Belfast

In the spring of 1965 a few members of Belmont church were concerned that their children, born in 1961, would not have a place in Belmont primary school in September 1965 as there were too many children for the place available, and it was felt that there was a need for a playgroup. Belmont Church was approached to see if a hall could be used for the group. All financial and other arrangements were organised by the church committee and in May 1965 Belmont Pres-School Playgroup opened its doors in Belmont Church. Belmont was the first Nippa run playgroup in Northern Ireland. UTV broadcast a programme from Belmont around 1980-81 which was hosted by Frank Carson and starred the children and staff. Funds were raised through hosting coffee mornings and it was also an opportunity to meet parent and children on a social basis. We remained at Belmont Presbyterian Church until June 2002 when we were to move to pastures new at Belmont Tower. However we were accommodated by St Mark’s Church due to awaiting completion of renovations to Belmont Tower. We spent from September 2002 to April 2004 at St Marks and moved to Belmont Tower in May 2004. In June 2006 the preschool room was awarded an accreditation by NIPPA (The Early Years Association) which was a great achievement. We spend a happy two years in Belmont Tower but when our lease finished we were grateful to St Marks for accommodating us on a temporary basis. We spent over a year in St Mark’s Heyn Hall offering a variety of indoor and outdoor play in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. In November 2008 we were filmed for the Peoples Millions with the support of the community, past pupils, staff , friends, family and our current parents, we won the £50,0000, that with our past fundraising events and the support of the Education Authority we obtained enough funds for a new build which commenced building in February 2009 and was completed 3rd April 2009. We opened our doors on the 20th April 2009 and with the opportunity of new ventures for the playcare.

The main goal of our Educational Centre is to give children the knowledge that they have every right to acquire. The Russian language has the potential to greatly help in future careers and to open doors. It will give you the advantage of belonging to at least two cultures, and for the more pragmatic, it will simply help to pass the GCSE examination. This is an investment in the child’s future, on a par with private school tuition and tutoring for 11+ years.

Poynton

An independent art studio where artists of all ages can develop their creativity and gain self-confidence through visual art. Join our email list > "My daughter is enjoying art class very much and thus I am happy and satisfied. :) She actually said it helped her calm down on a day where she had gotten angry with her brother - now that's some good stuff! Thank you for inspiring them, and for all that you do!" Kyrie Shomaker, MD When she was a little girl, Melanie Cramer wanted to be an artist/ballerina/teacher/mommy. Apparently "ballerina" was code for business owner because now she teaches art in her own studio. Her path included earning an art degree from High Point College (now university), many years spent as an art director for print media, and many more teaching preschool locally. She founded Outside the Lines Art Studio in 2011 to share her belief in the transformative power of visual art with her community. Meet the Owner: Melanie Cramer IMG_2835.jpg At Outside the Lines Art Studio, we believe the process of creating is far more valuable that the resulting creation. An artist who has spent time exploring an art medium thoroughly may or may not produce a masterpiece worthy of professional framing and prominent display, but they will certainly produce something they are proud of, independent of others’ opinions. They will have expressed themselves to their own satisfaction. They will have experienced something new and learned from it. They will feel more self-assured and confident. Those are products you can’t hang on the wall, or even the fridge.

We will keep you posted with the days and will make sure every child can a attend a party if they want to. After the half term break, we will be talking about 'Moving on' generally and very subtly! With the Bluebell children, we will focus on the similarities with preschool and school (similar toys and activities, role play areas, outside play areas, carpet time, own peg for bag etc.) The Bluebell children will be practicing some of the skills that will help them in their transition to school. We will be posting some activity ideas you can practice at home too.

Essex

Hi, I'm Beth. I’m a Speech and Language Therapist from Essex, UK. I'm a Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, from the UK, with extensive experience working with children with speech, language and communication needs in a range of settings including schools, preschools and clinics. I'm mum to two primary school-aged children, one of whom has special needs. EU1A9034-2.jpg eu1a9097.jpg I set up my own clinical service provision in 2011 and have since then built up a successful practice, with my own clinic where I see private patients. I also provide a regular service to a number of schools in my local geographical area. I have a master’s degree in Health and Human Sciences (MSc), qualifying as a Speech & Language Therapist in 2009. My undergraduate degree (BA Hons) is in Linguistics and Spanish. I’m registered with the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, the Health and Care Professionals Council and the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP). I have been the chair of my local ASLTIP group for a number of years, organising regular meetings and suporting a large group of 18 members covering a range of clinical specialisms. I’ve worked with lots of practitioners and staff in schools and preschools throughout my career and I've provided a lot of information, advice, training and support for a variety of Speech and Language topics. As well as training education staff, I also deliver seminars as a guest lecturer to Speech and Language Therapy Students at the University of Essex. These cover a range of topics, including service provision, speech sounds, stammering, vocabulary and word finding, assessment and intervention. EU1A9022.jpg eu1a9043.jpg For over a decade, I have built up a whole stack of resources and activities to target dozens of different topics within speech, language and communication needs. I’ve delivered a huge number of training sessions, created by me, on a range of SLCN topics to staff working in schools and preschools. As a result of my training on speech and language issues, dozens of Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Preschool Practitioners have felt empowered to help their students with their speech, language and communication needs. With The Speech and Language Garden, I hope to give you some valuable ideas, training and resources to help educate you and support the children you work with.

This course offers children the opportunity to get to know an environment in different conditions and see it change. They work closely with a beach school leader who has time to develop trusted relationships with the children and respond to both intellectual and emotional needs and offer challenges that inspire deeper learning. This is recommended in the Welsh Government guidance for educational opportunities of this type. Throughout the course we seek to develop emotional intelligence and offer plenty of adult supported and child led experiences that allow social skills, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-motivation and empathy to flourish. There will be the chance to problem solve, work as a team and independently and show leadership skills. Children will be encouraged to think creatively, to enquire and to reflect on their own learning. Beach Days Single days can meet a specific curriculum or school community need and can be planned with users. They can inspire a school project, add depth to a topic, offer a completely different and exciting experience and offer a chance for children to shine in a new environment. These days are planned to suit the needs of the group and could focus on: The beach environment with rockpooling, identification and animal adaptations. The development of a seaside town over time. An introduction to forces through a range of activities. A book, such as Kenzuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, with activities inspired by the story. Outdoor pursuit challenges in line with the primary PE curriculum. Information and communication technology While on the beach we can use technology to capture the experience in pictures, words, sound, film or music. Back at school we can support the innovative use of technology to develop learning further. Our most popular day is “A Day at the Beach” which is often used by year 1, though has been adapted for preschool and years 2-5.

London

We founded St. Universe Tuition after noticing a gap in the market for high-quality online language tuition. Because of this demand, we decided to create a platform where graduates of leading British universities can provide online language tuition to students from all over the world. OUTSTANDING TUTORS We carry out a rigorous screening process to select our tutors, so that we select only the most qualified and experienced teachers for our students. In order to provide tutors who are able to play a long-term role in their students’ language development, St. Universe Tutors regards all teachers as partners in the development of our company. Our teachers all have excellent academic records at prestigious British universities. It is our hope that each tutor can act as a role model and mentor to inspire their younger students to study at similar world-leading institutions. EXCELLENT TUITION St. Universe Tutors pays great attention to considering the study strategies and teaching methods which best complement our students’ learning styles. Students are taught in accordance with their aptitude, and tutors selected based on their suitability. Whilst our tutors are all highly-experienced, some specialise in a particular style of teaching, be it primary-school classes, or business English tuition. INVALUABLE INTERACTIONS Helping students understand and solve questions and queries after class is an integral part of the St. Universe Tutors offering. Our tutors act as partners in their students’ language development, and are on-hand to help whenever called upon. Considerable interaction with tutors helps students to enhance their language ability and self-confidence – allowing each to fulfil their maximum potential. PERFECTLY-TAILORED COURSES Our diverse collection of courses are designed with a range of ages and levels in mind. · Preschool students Beginning language learning at a young age can help to improve pronunciation naturally due to reduced interference from the child’s mother tongue. Young children also have a particularly strong ability to imitate and memorise words and phrases, which is conducive to the development of language fluency later in life. · Primary school students The period between the ages of 3 and 10 represents a crucial time in a child’s foreign language development. Laying the foundations in childhood, with accurate pronunciation and grammar, allows the child to start using English freely in their adolescence. · High school students St. Universe Tutors specialises in helping students into top British schools by recruiting the most experienced tutors and specialising in online tuition. We are able to provide academic tuition to aid high school students with common English language entrance exams for schools and universities, including TOEFL and IELTS. Preparation for British academic qualifications, including (i)GCSEs, A-levels, as well as 11+, 13+, 16+ entrance examinations, is also offered by St. Universe Tutors, across all conventional subjects and major exam boards. Our tutors are all experts in their fields, with deep knowledge of curricula and exam mark schemes. We put a particular focus on studying past exam questions, both in class and through tailor-made worksheets set as homework. All our worksheets are informed by our tutors extensive experience of learning and teaching at the highest level. · University students Studying in a foreign language, and moving to a new city, can be a daunting prospect for students. An experienced tutor to build academic English skills, and act as a mentor through a student’s studies is invaluable at this time. · Adults We cater to professionals looking to improve their business English, as well as those simply looking to take their conversational language to the next level! · School online teaching We offer online English teaching through tailor-made course for kindergartens, primary schools, and high schools in China so that all students have the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of foreign languages, foreign cultures and customs, and broaden their international horizons.
