elcome to the Winter 2019 magazine.
I am so excited. My son and his family, who lived in Hong Kong for a number of years, have recently moved back to this country and I can be a hands-on Granny. With Christmas coming, I am really looking forward to taking my Granddaughter to see Father Christmas and a very British pantomime. We are already practicing “it’s behind you”. In this magazine you will find lots of ideas for Christmas as well as other events happening in the local area. If you have any events for families, please feel free to add them to our website. It is free and you do not need to log in or register. We try to print as many as we can in the magazine and priority is given to advertisers. We also love running competitions so if you have any ideas for prizes you would like to win, please let me know. Also discount vouchers, I know you love them. If you have a business and would like to include a discount voucher in our next magazine (March), please email me.
A huge thank you to all our amazing advertisers. Please tell them that you saw them in the Family Grapevine when you contact them. Another huge thank you to all the venues who take copies for you to pick up. If you know anywhere else that would like to take free copies for their customers, please let me know. Finally a huge thank you to all of you, our readers. Please continue to stay in touch with me to let me know what you would like to see in the next magazine. We love to receive all your comments. I wish you all a very Happy Winter, have a lovely Christmas and see you again in March

Play Centres
In a time where children are increasingly drawn to technology for entertainment, and with concerns about its impact on their social and emotional development, Little Street strives to provide an environment that nurtures those skills. Through role play children expand their understanding of themselves and others, it helps them to develop language skills and discover leadership ability. By encouraging social interaction and problem solving it also enables children to gain confidence. We have created a little world for big imaginations, encouraging children to investigate, explore and experiment.

Every child loves to play make believe and there is no better place for supporting and awakening their imagination than Little Street. Our play centres have a variety of themed rooms, scaled down to be the perfect size for little people, and carefully designed and filled with props to offer a creative and educational play experience.

Play forToddler s Imaginative play is a vital part of childhood that helps children develop skills which will help them in the future. When children engage in pretend play, they’re re-enacting what they see around them, experimenting with the social roles of life and when playing creatively with their friends, learning to co-operate and compromise. They are practising conversations by talking to their dolls and figures and imagining responses. Children can expand their vocabulary and experiment freely with words in their own space and time as they re-enact a story and organise play. Imaginative play also allows your child to express both positive and negative feelings and can help them to work through difficult emotions and to understand them. Pretend play can promote fine motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination and stimulate gross motor skills while also creating opportunities for trying out new ideas, ways of thinking and problem solving.
Encourage pretend play by...
l Involving your child in everyday activities around the home, shopping, travelling in the car, on buses, trams and trains, seeing where you work, eating out etc l Introduce your child to new things and places l Read books to your child with props l Collect toy figures, vehicles, foods, animals etc. l Create small worlds with boxes, sheets, garden etc. l Create a dressing up box (charity shops are great for this )

Competitions Coffeee break ANSWERS 1 - Fill the 5 litre jar completely. Then fill the 3 litre jar using the 5 litre one completely. Now there are 2 litres left in the 5 litre jar. Now you empty the 3 litre jar and put the 2 litres from the 5 litre jar in the 3 litre jar. Then fill the five litre jar again completely. Finally fill the 3 litre jar completely using the 5 litre jar. One litre still fits, since there were already 2 litres in that jar. So then 4 litres remain in the 5 litre jar. You’ll get exactly 4 litres in this way. 2 - American History - Tea in Sea – The Boston Tea party 3 - F-Counting – 6 4- This is possible when the numbers are expressed in roman numerals as follows: If you take I from XIX (19), you are left with XX (20).
