NEW SENSORY CLASS

Hi, its been ages since my last post, Easter has been and gone and after 5 days break I am back to it full pelt.

My existing classes are busier than ever so I have now decided to start a couple more classes in the Willaston Area on Fridays at 9.30am.

Multi Sensory play for babies incorporate activities to such as baby signing, massage and dance. We explore the babies senses including touch, vision, sound and smell.

We work with a wide range of equipment including bubbles, mirrors, scarves, feathers, play parachutes, balls, fabrics, textured toys, puppets, musical instruments, soft play, books and many more.
The classes are designed to be stimulating, yet low key and gentle to avoid over stimulation..

We learn about bonding through touch and play. We encourage eye to eye contact and facial communication. From smiling at baby to mirroring babies expressions, these activities can become fun in a class environment!

We enjoy gentle exercises to promote development. We play games while enjoying tummy time, sitting up and standing if baby is old enough and all activities are tailored to your little ones' age and ability. We even do treasure time which the children just love.

If you are interested in attending the class please send me an email to sharon@hullabalookids.net

Redshift Radio on FM

On Monday 4th April, Redshift Radio transmitted their first ever FM broadcast on 87.7FM. Dr Gav & Liz have worked flat out to get this off the ground and I'm so proud to be part of the team.

My first FM show was on Wednesday and I was so nervous, just like it was my first ever show. Anna Woodhart from Waterbabies and Rebecca & Denise from Arbonne International were my guests. I'd lie if I said the show went without a hitch but it wasn't as bad as I expected, the listeners would never have known. By 5pm I was back in the studio presenting a drivetime show with Simon J. Newbury. I had such a ball and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am proud to call myself a radio presenter now!

If you're within 10 miles radius of Crewe you can tune in to 87.7 FM or you can listen on line on www.redshiftradio.co.uk

Another great success

A week ago I was frantically twisting modelling balloons into Buzz Lightyear, Woody and the little green alien to raffle off for the Toy Story Family Movie event. (see photo)
The movie was well attended and we raised £91.53 for the Meningitis Trust in memory of Charlie Mann. Deborah Wainwright from Cakes By Deborah Jayne made Toy Story cupcakes which were sold for 50p, and we had the usual popcorn and soft drinks for a small donation. I offered my balloon modelling skills and made swords and dogs, these went down well and the queue was as long as when the children were waiting for facepainting!

Brilliant day and had some great feedback! Thank you to everyone who attended and especially to Deborah for the yummy cakes, Gwen for helping with the raffle and Mark for helping with balloons and just always being there for me!

Can't wait for the next one which is Peter Pan on Saturday 28th May, and children can dress up as fairies or pirates!

TOY STORY - FAMILY MOVIE EVENT

The next FREE Family Movie event is on Saturday 2nd April at Malbank Community Cinema. We are showing TOY STORY which starts at 10.30am.
Your children are not expected to sit down during the whole movie so don't worry if you would like to come but worried about how they will be, bring them along.
It is a very relaxed event!

We will be providing cakes and popcorn for a donation towards Meningitis Trust in memory of Charlie Mann and again I will be offering Facepainting and Toy Story Crafts.

If you would like to attend please send me an email to sharon@hullabalookids.net

REDSHIFT RADIO

It has been common knowledge for a while now but I've only just managed to blog about it. I'm rubbish, I know!

'Redshift Radio' which was launched online in September last year, has now been awarded a 28-day test licence by Ofcom which starts on Monday 4th April and ends on Sunday 1st May.

We are now a team of 45 presenters and we broadcast 14 hours a day with a variety of community shows, one of these shows being my show 'Toddler Talk'. It's a parenting show offering expert advice and discussions from everything and anything from pregnancy to parenthood, and I'm live every Wednesday 10am till 12pm.

Gavin Hammond and Liz Southall (who I've dedicated a post to before) have worked flat out to get it off the ground and I'm so proud to be a part of this team. Being a sole trader can get pretty lonely so to be a part of a team again is a great boost.

Be sure to spread the word and help to get our local shopkeepers in Crewe and Nantwich to tune in from 4th April on 87.7FM. In the meantime go to www.redshiftradio.co.uk to hear us before we go FM. Please also go to our Facebook Page and 'like' us.

Wish us luck.....and hope to reach you over the airwaves soon!

FAB FUNDRAISER

It was the Family Movie Event at Malbank School today, showing 'The Lion King'. We had over 100 people through the door which was pretty good going considering we were not allowed to advertise it as such due it being a community not-for-profit event. I used Facebook and my class contacts to promote the movie and I'm so pleased at how popular it was.

I offered face painting and asked for a donation for 'The Meningitis Trust' in memory of Charlie Mann who sadly died from Meningitis, all proceeds went to Charlie's fund. We raised £100 which I'm delighted with. Simon J. Newbury Photography photographed the children and offered a print on the day. Above is a photo of Luke and his friends, Chloe & Stella taken by Tina Newbury.

I've already started planning for the next one. It will be on Saturday 2nd April at 10.30am and this time its 'Toy Story' with optional fancy dress for the children.
