Designer Minds is for the children who can't stop tinkering with technology, the ones who love learning about nature and how the world works, the kids who love to create, design and draw, the children who are mad for science experiments and those who love building with LEGO! These are the boys AND GIRLS who have the potential to be great scientists, engineers, programmers and designers! Our subjects are Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths (STEAM). Everyday while the children are out of school, Designer Minds will be setting a home challenge for primary school children. Follow this link to check out their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/designerminds.ie/posts/?ref=page_internal Here's a video showing some experiments the children have done in the Designer Minds After School Clubs around the country. This is a very difficult and stressful time for everyone and it is important to try and make time to look after yourself as a parent or guardian for the children and young people in your care.
This is a short online workshop aimed at helping parents and guardians look after their own well-being. It is 40 minutes long, but you dont have to do in all one go. Simply save where you're at and pick up again when you have time. You just need a laptop/computer and speakers/headphones (there are some videos with sound). It's FREE and it is designed to help you which will in turn, hopefully, help the young people you care for. Take a look and see what you think... https://jigsawonline.ie/parents-and-guardians/self-care-for-parents-and-guardians-course/ 3 really easy recipes with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen! A great learning activity for children and it helps all the busy parents catch a little break - win, win! (although you will still need to be in the kitchen, you can grab a seat and relax while you keep a close eye) Recipe 1: Scrambled Eggs Recipe 2: Banana Pancakes Recipe 3: Sticky Buns Have a look and give it a try! An Post is giving every household two specially-designed postcards for free. They will be delivered over the coming week with additional cards available at local post offices. They are postage-paid and will be a great activity for your children. They could write a message to someone they love, such as their grand-parents or older relatives who are perhaps at home self-isolating.
They might choose to write to someone who is a nurse, doctor or other healthcare worker. Let them know you are thinking of them and appreciate everything they are doing for our country. So keep an eye out on your letter box as they may be delivered this week! #ScríobhAnois #WriteNow https://www.anpost.com/Media-Centre/News/Send-Love-to-someone-special-with-free-An-Post-Pos Parents Subscription This subscription collects all of the best content for parents in one place.
