Summary
We are looking for volunteers to lead our Bounce & Rhyme group followed by Stay & Play sessions with parents/carers and pre-school children.Detailed description
Schedule - Every Monday 13:15 - 14:45 Tuesday 13:15 - 14:45 and Wednesday 10:15-11:45 & 13:15-14:45 (includes pre group setup & tidy-up)
Bounce and Rhyme Time is a weekly session for parents/carers and pre-school children run within each of our Norfolk Libraries. The session aims are to encourage parents and carers to share songs and rhymes with their children, through a 20 minute long group session at the library. The sessions also provide a safe space for parents to ask questions about anything they have concerns about, find information and meet other parents. The session then utilises the remaining time for 'Stay and Play' allowing the adults to have a period of social engagement.
The principles of the sessions are:
- To build parents confidence in encouraging their child’s literacy
- To offer a weekly session of songs and rhymes for children to enjoy
- To offer a safe space for parents to ask questions
- To be able to link parents to relevant information and services
- To allow parents time to participate in a relaxed social environment following Bounce and Rhyme, whilst the children can continue in play
