As
our pupils are collected and dropped off by bus, it can be very
isolating for new parents. With this in mind, Brighin Lyttle
approached Dr Dobbins with an idea to help parents in forming a
group to help with ideas for 'Play'.
She
contacted Eilish Gill (Derry Children's Commission) who offered to
come on board with her expertise. It soon became apparent
that 'play' was the last thing on these parent's minds.
Through various workshops with Brendan McKeever, James King
and co., and a wonderful pamper day from the Parents and friends,
the parents decided they would like to make a book about their
experiences and of practical ways in which they could help other
parents.
Hence
our book, 'Time For Me' was established.
Every
Thursday afternoon at 1.30, the parents, Brighdin and Eilish met
to discuss ideas, have a bit of craic and a well deserved cup of
tea and scones. Some really enjoyed the tasty treats
provided by the Foyle View School Kitchen more than others!
Contact
was made with Mark Willet, who arranged the format of the book and
funding was provided by Derry Childrens Commission, Extended
Schools, Children in Need and Foyle View School.
Supervision
for the pupils and their siblings was provided, to ensure 'Time
for Me' for each parent.
A big
thank you to all parents involved - Ciaran, Bridie, Margart,
Michelle, Grainne, Sinead, Pauline and Gary.
