Mid-Term School Break

 Is it actually possible that we are into mid February already.  Where did January go?  The children seem to have  only just gone back to school after Christmas.  Granted,  they had an extended holiday this year thanks to the Snow,  but even so,  the time since then seems to have flown by at warp speed.  It’s all a blur.  Even the children seem not to have noticed the passing of the last few weeks and are surprised and delighted that they are due another break from school! 
At Chuckies,  we always celebrate the children’s school holidays & breaks by offering a free kids breakfast in the morning and a free kids tea in the afternoon.    Over the years we have received very positive feedback for this service as it offers  parents the opportunity to get out and about with kids without having to think about whether they have eaten or not.  In fact,  when the school bell is not calling,  mealtimes tend to become a ‘grazing all day’ event which translates into a cleaning all day event too.
 So this mid-term,  whatever your plan, why not start or finish the day at Chuckies.   Relax & enjoy that elusive ‘5 minutes peace’ to catch up on a good book (which we have plenty of on our Book Exchange table) or meet some friends for a chat while the kids burn up plenty energy in the play area.  And because all our equipment is specifically designed to encourage child development through play, the added advantage is that the kids are still learning and they don’t even realise it!!!  
Wishing you and your family a very pleasant mid-term break.

Daniel isn’t talking

bookandcoffee This book, written by Marti Leimbach is now available at our Book Exchange.     It is the  story of a family struggling to deal with a diagnosis of Autism and is a moving account of the depth of a mothers love.  It is a story that anyone who is raising a child with Autism can relate to and it is clear that the Author was drawing on personal experience when writing this book.  It is a powerful and touching story and I can highly recommend it.

GOOD MOOD FOOD

Fork beside bowl of pasta with grilled vegetable sauce uid 1182445I’m delighted to see that Donal Skehan who has the good mood food blog has brought out a cookery book.  If the blogg is anything to go by, I’m sure the book will be full of  great family receipes, kid’s favourites with a new twist and mouthwatering pictures to kick start the urge to get cooking. Definately one for the Christmas list.   

Check out the blog on http://www.thegoodmoodfoodblog.com/   The full article about him was on the Examiner Supplement last Saturday.  For someone so young,  its a great achievement.  Well done!
