Sensory Play at Linden Children’s Centre
The sensory play sessions at Linden Children’s Centre will be starting again on Thursday 4th September.
The sessions run from 10-12 and from 1pm-3pm each week during term times.
We welcome all children but the sessions are especially useful for children with particular needs as they can be tailored to the child’s interests and needs. We focus on a high quality play experience for the child and the accompanying adult but we can also address learning targets.
I am a very experienced, qualified teacher and I have been working in early years provision in Hackney for many years. The sensory paly sessions have received excellent feedback from parents and teachers.
Next week will be an open session and we would like to invite you to come and see what we have to offer. Please pass this invitation on to others, parents don’t need to be referred, so please share this with them.

Jeans for Genes
Friday 19 September 2014 is Jeans for Genes Day!
1 in 25 children has a genetic disorder that makes their life very difficult. By donating £2, we will change these children’s lives.
This year Jeans for Genes have teamed up with SpongeBob SquarePants to create trolley tokens.
These handy SpongeBob SquarePants key ring trolley tokens will bring a smile to your face every time you shop. I will be going round the Ark on Friday 19th September with the trolley tokens; you can make a difference by donating £2 or more of course in return for a trolley token.
If you’d like to find out more about Jeans for Genes and how our support will help, please visit their website at jeansforgenes.org
